Job prospects for my district don't look too good. With mega-budget cuts and increased classroom sizes, I will be looking for a job in a smaller district....maybe. Read on:
So my school is a Make Your Day school. MYD is a classroom management/citizenship program predicated on the concept of personal responsibility and communicating with someone with whom you might have a problem (sound familiar?). Thursday the gentleman who developed the program and a group of principals will be touring our school observing how the program is implemented. One classroom per grade level will be designated for the group to observe and I've agreed to be the classroom for my grade level. Sounds a little scary, right? However, this could be the equivalent of an "on the job" interview. Picture this: a group of principals from my district observe me teaching lessons AND managing a classroom of twenty students. Later when my resume crosses their desk (because I dropped it off at their school), and I walk in for the interview, they will already know first hand how I teach! I confess, I didn't come up with this scenario by myself. My cooperating teacher laid it out for me and convinced me, reassuring me that I have the skills to do it.
If you think of it on Thursday, pray for me that I will make a good impression, that the right principal is there, that God's will is done.

ABSOLUTELY! That would be so great for you! I'll set an alarm on my phone to remind me, just in case. But hey, Wed night is fasting/prayer, so you should mention that!
that's very brave and very SMART! I know God will show you the right path. Prayers for all of you trying to find jobs in the school districts!
You should take that as a huge compliment that your mentor is encouraging you to do this. It will definitely give you an advantage when these principals are looking to fill positions in their schools next year. I will be praying for you. Just keep doing what you do and they will be impressed!
praying for you...I know you will do well. You have a talent for this. Can't wait to hear how it all goes!
Hey, I worked with the wife of the guy who developed the MYD program. Wow! I have a lot to say about that whole subject, but here is not the time or place.
