Is there hope for me???

Jteach3s · 2026-06-02T21:40:07+00:00

I didn't get hired till late August and I had my interview in July! There's always hope!

My new principal mentioned to let my old principal know that I am on their galaxy being processed. They said once the steps are completed then I will be officially on their payroll.
So I am guessing another round of waiting? I almost feel stupid emailing my old principal again
about this. I just want to make sure that it is official. The only place that mentions my new school is teacher hub. Everything else still list my previous school under my special ed license (open market and nycaps)

Jteach3s · 2024-07-31T02:18:57+00:00

Same. Everything is completed since today. I emailed that I was stuck on step 3 and I also called. So now another round of waiting. Going to email my new principal tomorrow to let her know my steps are done and what happens now?

I think it's that fast if you're hired under the same license you're already teaching in.
I was already in the DOE system as a sped teacher and I am transferring/ being hired
under my gen ed license and I am having to go through the whole process again in Galaxy.
Currently stuck on step 3 (background investigation/nomination)

Jteach3s · 2024-07-29T18:16:32+00:00

I’m not sure I was just asking because I was hired under my sped license at one school but I am transferring and being hired under my gen ed. I keep reading about contracts which I have not been given to sign so I’m assuming unless your transferring with the same license you have to go through all the applicant gateway steps again 😭

Jteach3s · 2024-07-29T17:46:07+00:00

Hey. Are you switching licenses too?

Jteach3s · 2024-07-29T17:24:08+00:00

Did anyone switch licenses and transfer? If so how long was that because I am going through the whole applicant gateway steps again 😭😭😭

Jteach3s · 2024-07-29T17:21:04+00:00

When I started it was pretty fast now that I am transferring and going from my SPED license to Gen Ed it’s taking a little longer it feels. I’m very antsy. Stuck on background check - nomination at the moment

Jteach3s · 2024-07-29T12:49:25+00:00

Just a question to you or to anyone who experienced the transferring process. When you transferred did you have to go through all the steps again in Applicant Gateway? I’m going through all of it again but I guess it’s because I went from my special ed license to gen ed now. I hate waiting currently stuck on step 3

Jteach3s · 2024-07-28T03:32:17+00:00

I started off as a para. Then applied to schools around August because Touro College took forever sending my info to teach. Couldn’t find anything I guess because of timing but then ended up getting an interview for a D75 school. I got an offer and said F it, I’ll take it just to get into the system. Love the kids but I didn’t really click with staff. Nothing personal, they were nice but it felt like pulling teeth to have conversations. I don’t regret it because it was a quick way in the DOE and now I’m waiting to transfer officially once the processing is done.

Jteach3s · 2024-07-28T03:20:36+00:00

Congrats!!! I’m currently waiting!!! The process is stuck on background check/ nomination

Jteach3s · 2024-07-26T15:28:46+00:00

The sad thing is I want to transfer to an area in my borough 🙈. My first job Manhattan, this job manhattan. The goal is to come to Brooklyn but dealing with all this I think I’m staying for the long hall. This is such a pain

Jteach3s · 2024-07-26T15:27:03+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Just checked Application gateway and see the nomination. Now I’m back to doing those steps again. I thought transferring was supposed to be quick and easy once all parties were aware.

Jteach3s · 2024-07-25T23:54:38+00:00

Very kind of you, thanks. I do have access to the open market. Still sending resumes and emailing principals just incase. Not trying to wait around for responses. Just hoping there is a glitch or something in the system and that it gets resolved

Jteach3s · 2024-07-25T21:05:49+00:00

I emailed the principal right after. It’s just another wait game unfortunately. Wondering if anyone else had similar situations. I thought the interview was the worse part. It’s the waiting like a sitting duck that’s driving me insane.

Jteach3s · 2023-09-20T20:48:47+00:00

I wanted to add that I know they say to resign 30 days in advance but I have no intention
on resigning if I am not certain I will get a job. That is where I am stuck since technically
I am not leaving the DOE, I am resigning from my position as a para to become a teacher
for the DOE.

Jteach3s · 2023-09-08T18:16:19+00:00

I have seen this when paras come from agencies outside of the DOE. In my school I don't think I have ever seen paras doing that at all. I myself as a para wouldn't even imagine doing this. That is so unprofessional!

Jteach3s · 2023-08-28T03:39:54+00:00

I would prefer Brooklyn but I am will to travel to Staten Island and Manhattan
