I already asked this on LIF, but I was wondering if you ladies could help. (Job)

FH had an observation lesson Thursday, and had his analysis with the Principal and AP Friday.

Some background: he's currently a fulltime sub, bouncing from leave-replacement position to leave-replacement position within the district. There are no permanent classrooms available for him to have, but he's contracted at first year teacher salary, not sub salary. (Which is awesommmme)

So, back to the meeting on Friday: Basically, they complimented his plan book and his organization and structure, but then he was told that if a permanent classroom opens up and theres a toss-up between him and another candidate, chances are the other candidate will win out. They advised that he get some resumes out.

Rich is CRUSHED. He puts evvvvvverything into teaching. everything. He's pi$$ed, yet really upset at the same time. Feelings of inadequacy, I guess.

Luckily, he's contracted til June. He needs to find something for September.

This job's location was great, because he's not too far from Queens College, where he's doing his Master's. Oh well.

Anyone have any suggestions, other than mass-produce the resumes?

At this point, he'll take ANYTHING in Suffolk or Nassau. He's very marketable as a male elementary teacher with a background in special ed and inclusion.

The first thing he said to me was, 'If I don't have a JOB, how are we supposed to have our wedding?! ' It breaks my heart that the wedding was on his mind.

Thanks a bunch.

Is working in Queens out of the question? I worked there for two years and the pay is comparable and it is not asas bad as people say as long as you get the right area. And they are always looking especially for special education I taught self contained there and was happy. Also once you work there you are more marketable on the island.........I mean it is just another option

As a last resort, maybe.

He already commutes an hour each way into Nassau from our town in Suffolk.

Thanks for the response, though

Hello! tell him to go on olasjobs.org. This is a website that a lot of the districts use to find candidates for teaching jobs. He will have to fill in all the information once then upload resume and coverletter. What you then do is click on the area you want to work (theres a map) and they will tell you job openings and in what districts. I have done this before and a lot of districts will ask you to go on olas instead of sending a paper resume. Plus, it saves you money and time! Right now the only part of NY that is not on olas is Suffolk, but everyone else is! If you want more info, FM me! Good luck!

I am also looking for a teaching position for September. It is very difficult, but your FH must not give. He is lucky that he is a male and has the special ed background. Is he in school for his Masters? If worst comes to worst, there is always the city. I know that is probably the last place he wants to be, but at least it is something. There actually is a bronx career fair April 11th and you need to apply online at teachnyc.com if you want to go. There are other ones too, so maybe there is one in queens that he can go to (I'm from Westchester). Please keep us posted on how he is doing. And tell him not to get discouraged, something will turn up.
