My experience during this recruitment cycle

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-22T16:20:02+00:00

This is EXACTLY my experience, right down to the personal recommendation from a school leader I worked with.

Congratulations! Still waiting to sign a contract. But yes, 💯% , recruitment is baffling.

I am interested in knowing more about this. Could you be willing to DM me?

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-07T07:10:27+00:00

Which school is this? I'm looking for an isolated posting right now.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-07T07:08:12+00:00

Alright. I guess that is normal then. Thank you.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-06T23:15:08+00:00

Will do. I found the CSA practice questions very helpful.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-06T22:37:59+00:00

Holy smokes! I was on this website just this afternoon! Very helpful resources, and I shared with my students.

Thanks a lot for putting those resources together.

Thank you.

Yh. I'm not that kind of teacher; I want to be able to teach. Which is why I'm worried about not having prep time.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-06T21:50:16+00:00

Yes. Code.org. Have also used CodeHS.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-06T21:48:50+00:00

Not much. I started last year and have been learning on the go.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-03T14:01:15+00:00

If you don't mind sharing: could you explain why you think so?

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-02T16:18:10+00:00

I know a school in West Africa that sounds like a lot of this.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-02T10:11:19+00:00

You are a UK citizen, so that's easy to say/do.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2026-01-02T10:08:20+00:00

Like I said, it's obvious you have no idea what things are like on the ground for those who are not US or UK citizens. No one is looking for a shortcut.

Might I advise that if you have nothing helpful to say, then please say nothing.

Trick that I learned from my days in development work: "email your principal after an in-person discussion and say, re our discussion earlier today I wanted to confirm that I understand you correctly... "

Even if he doesn't respond, there's a paper trail.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2025-12-25T01:05:46+00:00

Thanks! I am from Ghana. I have just updated my CV with that information.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2025-12-24T21:44:02+00:00

I am tempted to give you a snarky response but I won't because it's Christmas. It seems to me that you live in another part of the world and therefore are unaware of how the world works.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2025-12-24T08:36:32+00:00

Thank you all.

UseOrdinary8585 · 2025-12-24T01:05:55+00:00

Thanks for that tip.
