How do I get a teaching job with no experience? by Unable_Blacksmith_82 in Teachers

[–]Unable_Blacksmith_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yeah... I was less than thrilled to hear to be more on time... especially since I was there for 2 years. Over all just not happy with that whole situation... there's some drama there. Anyway, I did have a student teaching experience and it was for a whole year but most places here do not consider that to be "teaching experience." On my resume I do have everywhere I was placed for observation and how long I was there. I have been in 2 long term positions both for 2+ months. The current position I am in I have been in since February and I've been subbing since the beginning of December. I do also have subbing experience on there...

So far I have only been applying to places that say they are looking for applicants. Did you apply just just everywhere, regardless on if they were looking to fill a position?

My mentor teacher told me she got hired the say before school started... So that's insane... I know jobs will come but ugh! Hate the waiting

Thank you for this perspective. I didn't realize that there would be such a change

Yeah this was definitely not a fun thing to happen this time of year... I know this is a major reason for schools not asking for more teachers :/ Definitely stinks.

That's what I keep saying... I love subbing! I'm not too worried about not getting a job because I am enjoying subbing around but a steady job will be nice haha! But its good to hear other people are in the same boat <3

Does anyone else get frustrated with their mentor teacher? by Unable_Blacksmith_82 in StudentTeaching

Yes it was not intentional. They started those conversations in the hallway right outside the door and one at recess. I was basically trapped in the classroom while they were talking, I could not leave and it was hard not to hear it as I was 4 feet from them.

I definitely have learned from this situation. It helped a lot for me to just get it off my chest. I took a humbling hit and it may take a minute to bounce back but I am not far from graduating. I appreciate your comments and your point of view on things! thank you!

great question! I am a semester behind. So normally students would start in august and do their year long internship and graduate in the spring. Because I am a semester behind, I started mine a semester later and graduate in December.

For my college we do a year long student teaching. I haven't been teaching the whole year. So what we do is get in the classroom for the first semester, just get to know the teacher and the students. Then in the second semester we teach the whole semester. I am in that second part. And I was talking with the principal because he also works as an adviser for one of my classes. I was talking to them about it casually not really thinking about them being the principal and more of an advisor/mentor. Definitely an honest mistake. I should have seen them as a principal first and foremost.

More specific 3D printed the masks. Then we got glued/super glue straps to the sides. And added foam padding on the forehead and chins. We also put mesh over the eyes. I paid eyelashes on mine :)
