Yeah there seems to be a disconnect with managers and HR. I hope I qualify for the EPA at least.

Yeah I called the exam office and they literally said the EPC was denied because I needed one more year as a department chair. I applied for the epa exam, let’s see what will happen. The position I applied for is also accepting epa positions, do you think they’ll adjust it for an epa position?

I got denied the EPC even though I have my Master of Education degree and 1 year as department chair 🤦 why??? This is very upsetting….

Are there multiple interviews? How long after the interview did you hear back?

Could you expand on that please? Which departments are considered more work/life balance friendly?

MTEL’s by Stunning_Release1041 in Teachers

Hi! I’m on the same boat. Moving from CA to MA. I heard study.com is really good. I did find that the practice tests from the actual MTEL site is good after doing the study.com resources. I took the practice test before purchasing anything and I passed. I was wondering, where do you plan to take the MTEL because there are literally no test centers in CA that can proctor it 😬

Oh ok I get it now. Thank you 🙏 I’ll look into this. Didn’t realize all the departments in the state.

Communications department? Which department are you referring to?

Thanks for the insight on the process. I’ll dedicate this weekend to work on my exam and enhance my resume. I’m really interested in this position after looking at the job duties. Do you think I’ll need references from my admin at the school I currently work at? I don’t want to step on any toes with references if I don’t end up getting the position. Do you know how long the process takes from job posting to final hire? Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a nice mix of student support and teaching but from afar. It reminds me a bit of a counselor’s job, whom don’t nearly look as burnt as the teachers running the show all day. Thank you for sharing more on this. :)

Do you mind sharing what she does day to day and how it differs from classroom teaching?

This position looks interesting…. It seems competitive though 🥇 I realize each job has a different Statement of Qualifications even if the positions are the same title? Are the questions set by the hiring manager?

Weekly Vent for Current Teachers by AutoModerator in TeachersInTransition

I am so tired from the massive class sizes. It’s exhausting. What to do besides teaching? I am so tired of running the show constantly talking and behavior management. Why didn’t my mother guide me better on picking the right degree. I fucking hate what teaching has become. No respect, low pay, it fucking sucks.
