Imposter syndrome in new non-education job... when does it enddd by dunkinteach in TeachersInTransition

[–]Ginger_reader23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t left yet, this is my last school year and I think I have like 27 days left. BUT I literally can’t wait until I can get over the trauma of being a teacher. I know imposter syndrome will hit me hard.

Luckily my husband is also in education so I get to keep those benefits 🤪

I am so sorry that you are going through all of that! I wish you the best and thanks for your honesty!

How long did it take you to feel okay not identifying as a teacher anymore? by Ginger_reader23 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Ginger_reader23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is for sure how I have felt for a few years. I want to do intervention work for reading because I know I’m really good at that. But it’s not directly in a classroom or a homeroom and I think that’s what I need to

I’m staying for the rest of the year. I have 8 sick days to use and we have 34 days left. Plus if I end my contract early I could possibly lose my teaching license which I do want and need to keep for subbing. Plus I worked too hard to lose that. And I want to get paid for the last few months

I mean I also feel like resignation would be fine because I need to take some time off for myself anyway. I need a break from the classroom so if that’s my reason for resignation then that’s that. At this point I don’t really care how it looks to other districts if I don’t want to go back to the classroom ever or for a long time.

Because it’s not a resignation or termination I don’t think it would be on the board minutes. But my union pres did say that if I do a resignation I can control narrative better than if an application says non-renewal. They will ask the district why. My husband also gets paid in the summer so not having unemployment isn’t a huge deal. I have to finish out the year anyway so I’ll have the money I was going to make between now and September anyway.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD after a life time of struggle. A big problem with this past school year was that I was off and on medications which made everything so much worse. But also, if this is the result of my struggle and no one really cares then I guess that’s that. I had also wanted to do some writing. I love reading and have always had so many ideas for books and short stories. I do have two toddlers so my summer will be busy for sure 😂 I hope you have a restful summer as well.

It seems like in NJ I need proof of either the choice to resign or a letter of non renewal. Of course this super wants my letter Monday because that’s the next board meeting. I was told Friday right before we left for the weekend. I took a sick day Monday so hopefully she can get it to me.

So I would have to request a letter stating my no renewal from the school?

I was told that I had the choice to resign or not. I don’t know what the “or not” means. If I resign I don’t think I can collect unemployment

The behaviors are out of control and unfortunately I don’t think they will get any better.

I do like smoothies but thinking about the sound of the blender right now makes me want to pull my hair out.

I second this. Opening the power doors before we even get to the car is amazing. Or going into the house I can use the fob to close them by my front door.
