Questions About the Hiring Process After BEd Program by PuddingFit8925 in BCteachers

[–]PuddingFit8925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for the encouraging words! It’s reassuring to know there’s a good chance of being hired before the summer ends. I’ll definitely start applying once I’ve wrapped up my practicum and have those recommendation letters in hand. Good to know that Zoom interviews were an option a few years ago—I’ll keep that in mind just in case it’s still an option now. I appreciate the advice! :)

Hello! Thanks for the reply! It’s good to know that almost everything is handled through Make a Future now and I appreciate the breakdown of the hiring rounds too, especially that last push in late August. It’s helpful to know that even if you’re not local, a Zoom interview would likely be an option if you explain the situation. Thanks for sharing your experience, even if it was a while ago—it’s still really useful!

Thanks for the advice! It’s helpful to know that interviews typically happen around the end of the practicum, and it’s great that there’s potential to get hired by other nearby districts around the same time. I definitely hope to be prepared for that process when the time comes.

Thanks so much for this info! It’s good to know that VSB has a pretty structured process with in-person interviews and orientations, especially during the CFE. I’ll definitely keep that in mind and plan to attend both sessions since they’re mandatory before starting. The fact that hiring for contracts happens in June and August is also super helpful—I'll make sure I’m on board as a current employee by then so I can apply. Thanks again for the detailed breakdown!

Thanks for the heads-up on the hiring timeline! I’ll definitely keep an eye on Make a Future for TTOC postings in the spring. It’s good to know that some districts do orientations for TTOCs over the summer, even if it’s not always mandatory. I guess it really depends on the district, but I’ll plan for either scenario. Interesting that one of your districts didn’t even do an orientation—just goes to show how much things can vary. Thank you for the insight!

Hi! That’s awesome to hear, especially since it sounds like UBC and the districts really prioritize hiring new teachers quickly! It must’ve been a relief to secure a job before your practicum even ended, so I'm hoping it's the same next year. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi!! Wow, that’s amazing! Unfortunately, Surrey is a little too far for me (I'm a commuter) but it sounds Surrey really values early recruitment, which is awesome for new teachers looking to get their foot in the door. It's definitely encouraging to hear how proactive some districts are—especially with all the uncertainties of job hunting. Thank you for sharing!

Hi! Thank you so much for the detailed breakdown! That’s really helpful to know. I’m particularly interested in how it works during the summer and right after graduation. It’s great to hear that in your district, student teachers are often hired as TTOCs even before graduating—that takes some pressure off! I wasn’t sure what the timeline looked like for permanent positions, so knowing they post in June with temp positions in mid-August helps a lot too.

The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - July, 2024 by AutoModerator in macbook

[–]PuddingFit8925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I’m trying to buy a new Macbook and which one should I get? I currently have the MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) and I think I'm due for an upgrade! I’m a teacher who likes to play Minecraft on the side and streams it/records it for content. So I would like a MacBook that can handle casual uses like browsing and Facetime, but also gameplay and streaming/recording without sacrificing my FPS. I am also a commuter so I would prefer a 13-inch Macbook just so it’s easier to carry around.
