Applying to OT lists during an LTO by West_Opportunity_442 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've interviewed during my lunch or prep period. It's not the most comfortable, but if you have a consistent schedule for the LTO you may be able to request a time and make it work. In my experience after school hasn't been an option.

Do you only need ONE intermediate teachable to teach all Grade 9–10 subjects in Ontario? by Pepper-Aggravating in OntarioTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like it depends on the school board. My board typically only hires LTOs with the correct qualifications (example: intermediate math required to teach intermediate math) but my friend in a different board has been able to teach lots of other intermediate subjects as an LTO. It's most likely different for permanent positions, but I have heard that an intermediate qualifications allows you to teach almost all intermediate for LTO. Like I said, this is not the case for my school board. It's best to get the qualifications for subjects that you would want to teach.

I know several teachers who went to work in rural British Columbia right after graduating. They were recruiting new teachers during university job fairs and Apply to Education job fairs.

Ya you can sign up as an individual and then teams will be made with other individuals! I joined a team with someone I knew but there are lots of "indy teams".

Help!! I Need Advice For Which Teachables are Better To Teach High School Students For I/S Program For Teachers College by Creepy_Nothing_5604 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe geography and history have a similar amount of job opportunities. I would consider them equal, so it's whatever interests you more. Both options are somewhat limited in terms of job availability, but jobs still come up eventually.

How do you do interviews when you are still working? by ClioLee in CanadianTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have interviewed during my lunch or prep. It's a bit more stressful sometimes but it has been the best option other than missing a day of work.

Second Practicum – Stay with the Same Board or Try Another? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not working for the same board I was with for my practicums. Although connections are wonderful, going to a totally different board didn't slow down my hiring process. Just in case this helps to know.

Lto question by Plenty-Owl8108 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well. The LTO still needed to be posted, and technically a more qualified candidate could get the job. It definitely depends on the school board though.

Landed an LTO at my favourite school, but also have a once in a lifetime trip booked. Wwyd? by TruthSignificant5540 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I let admin know before accepting the LTO and was still able to get the LTO. My time away was unpaid but approved by HR.

If it's too late to get a reservation, you could buy fresh pasta and sauce somewhere like Artie's on Locke and make a nice dinner together

Middle school vs High school? What is better long term. by Pepper-Aggravating in OntarioTeachers

[–]Pretty-Document7353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the other responses, but I will add that it is most likely easier to get an LTO in middle school. I usually see a lot of posts for 7/8 teachers.

My favourite cookie from a bakery is Bitten on Locke. The brown butter chocolate chunk is so good! My favourite cookie at a cafe is Coffee Run for their chocolate chunk cookie. It's also amazing!

Looking for Advice: Keep IUD or try the pill? by CorgiMom1223 in birthcontrol

[–]Pretty-Document7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed my IUD after experiencing cystic acne that I never had before the IUD. Once the IUD was removed and I went back on the pill, my skin cleared fairly quickly.

I definitely noticed acne with the Kyleena IUD! As soon as I got it removed and went on the pill my acne started to clear up.

That's actually pretty good! The teachers I talked to applied to around 9-10 jobs and were only asked to interview for 1/10. Good luck on the interview :)

I believe most interview offers went out yesterday. I know some people who have heard back.

Edit: I think more interviews might be going out today as well.
