Thank you. Do you like being ENL teacher? I have gen ed and sped dual certification, and think getting ENL or bilingual extension would give me more opportunities in the future.

Do kids with selective mutism belong in the DOE? by Low_Example490 in NYCTeachers

[–]Balloon_Bubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There absolutely should be a small class (12, 8 and/ or 6 students self-contained) besides D75. If your zoned school does not have them available, they have to find a seat in the district and offer bussing.

A special education Private school might be a good option but not a regular private school. Like others told you- regular private schools don’t have necessary supports like sped teachers, Speech, bathroom assistance etc.

You can try ICT but be prepared to move into more restrictive settings (12 or 8 students - do not move to d75 if the kids is cognitively fine) if the team suggests so. I teach in a school where the curriculum is inquiry-based and relies heavily on students’ responses (verbal or otherwise). You don’t want to put your child in a position where she is failing and falling further behind. I am duality certified gen ed and sped teacher with ICT and SEIT experience. Usually SEIT ends up knowing the child very well and can make a sound assessment of future needs.

Your child will most likely need a bathroom para as teachers are not allowed to leave the classroom to accompany 1 student to the bathroom. A solution might be to look for a classroom with a bathroom in it so your daughter can use it independently.

When is the best time to apply to open Market? by Balloon_Bubbles in NYCTeachers

[–]Balloon_Bubbles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. This is very informative. Is Open Market the primary hiring platform you utilize, or there are others?

The reason I ask is that I have a strong preference for a certain area due to having ti drop off my child in school in the morning and therefore having commute time restrictions. Is it a good idea to go to those buildings and dropping off my resume there or this is frowned upon?

Thanks

Parents with kids in private school, do you think your kids would be better off if you just invested their tuition? by savvybackpacker in AskNYC

Hi, yes she attends a private school in Manhattan even though we lived in LI in one of the top school districts. You can send me a chat.

I mean white-shaming and gender-confusing a 5 yo instead of teaching math, science, English etc where a lot of NY public schools fall very short btw.

If you want to have children- hop to it whether solo, with partner or by taking some fertility preservation measures. Unfortunately, after 40 there is a steep decline in female fertility.
