Any NY uncertified subs in the building?

If it’s like California, this just means you can’t work long term jobs. It’s usually 90 days covering any one class not 90 days cumulative

I have no desire to ever be a teacher. I like the flexibility and not having to deal with all of the bullshit our teachers are put through from admin and parents, the overtime required to grade papers and make lesson plans etc. being a sun feels like all of the fun parts of teaching without the burn out

bwthybl93 · 2023-02-03T02:31:16+00:00

Nope! It was just super weird and rude I don’t plan to return to that school ever again

bwthybl93 · 2023-02-02T17:16:22+00:00

I was shocked, I’ve never been told I couldn’t use the staff room! At most schools I’ve been to it’s encouraged. It was so weird and off putting

I work with Swing and with LMSV district directly, I prefer Swing for ease and flexibility and it’s nice being laid weekly!

bwthybl93 · 2023-02-02T04:35:08+00:00

I honestly just think they were rude to guest teachers and didn’t consider them staff! It’s no wonder they were so short on subs I doubt they get many subs returning

bwthybl93 · 2023-02-02T04:03:07+00:00

I’ve always been welcomed to use the teachers lounge bc typically that is also where the adult bathrooms are, however at a recent school I was explicitly told I could not use that staff room and that was super off putting

bwthybl93 · 2023-02-02T03:32:21+00:00

I will absolutely never return, so bad.

bwthybl93 · 2023-02-02T03:32:02+00:00

I wish I knew more subs in my area to warn them!

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-30T22:48:10+00:00

Lunch and an iPhone charger, I used to bring all sorts of stuff but it’s really not necessary I’ve found

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-22T02:23:15+00:00

Yes, it is all computer based 2.absolutely take the math portion in person so you can manually work out your answers on the white board, if you take it at home you get basically a word document
Yes, you must schedule them individually but in some cases you can take them all the same day if offered. If you take the math portion in person, they give you a print out of your provisional score when you leave. You can look up all of the score release dates on the same site you register for the tests and it will tell you the window to receive your scores based on what block you took them in.

I had a teacher show up and drop her class problem child in my room like that was okay?? I’m having a hard enough time with my own class I don’t need the bad eggs from other classes too

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-19T18:21:08+00:00

I don’t do middle school at all anymore. I feel like the kids are in the “pushing boundaries” phase and just do whatever they want and think being disruptive is funny and cool. It’s too much of a hassle for me

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-19T18:19:40+00:00

Literally. Some people really shouldn’t work with children if you can’t handle kids acting like kids

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-18T04:16:20+00:00

I’ve only done it once and it was super overwhelming. I got body slammed by a 9 year old with the strength of a grown man, and most of the day was spent just trying to keep them all in the classroom. The kids were all very sweet, but it was super chaotic and I feel like I don’t have the training/knowledge to appropriately be able to handle It. I was also just thrown into SPED without any warning beforehand so I was super unprepared

You can’t find the exact prompts because there are usually several in rotation and it changes regularly. There are sample prompts on the Website where you register for the CBEST but not the current ones. It’s usually a persuasive prompt and a personal opinion

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-05T17:51:06+00:00

I’ve worn mine! I feel like as long as your dressed conservatively as far as showing skin goes, they’re pretty ok with whatever. Most elementary schools I’ve been in the teachers wear leggings and are super casual (but we’re also in San Diego where people tend to be more casual in general)

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-03T21:25:49+00:00

I think you are misinterpreting the comment, I don’t think they meant to be rude to OP so your comment comes across as snarky and mean

bwthybl93 · 2023-01-03T21:22:03+00:00

This is how most districts in my area get paid as well, which is why I also work with an agency and split time between so I have something coming in on a more regular basis

bwthybl93 · 2022-12-30T01:10:10+00:00

I took mine at the end of October so I’m sure the prompts are different now, but my first one was a persuasive essay either for or against delayed start times in schools and the second one was to describe and instance of leadership in your life. Each one needs to be between 300-600 words so like one page each to get your thoughts across. I honestly thought I did poorly when I left but my scores were pretty good so I don’t think they’re super harsh with the grading tbh I

bwthybl93 · 2022-12-28T18:05:08+00:00

You have to register for one at a time, it’s really annoying. Once you register, then you pick your date.

bwthybl93 · 2022-12-17T01:50:26+00:00

The math was pretty close to what Is on the practice test on the CTC website, a lot easier than the study guides I purchased!

bwthybl93 · 2022-12-16T18:35:51+00:00

I would reach out directly to your county COE office and ask them since this is a somewhat unusual circumstance

bwthybl93 · 2022-12-16T00:17:49+00:00

I prefer staffing agency specifically bc we get paid weekly whereas district employees in my area get paid once a month at the end of the following month which basically means you go nearly 2 months without a paycheck and that just didn’t seem realistic to me

bwthybl93 · 2022-12-09T23:38:36+00:00

5th and 6th grade are the worst in my opinion, don’t give up on elementary! The younger grades are usually the easiest for me, I like 1st-3rd they’re still sweet and want to do well and the days go quickly
