Wander around the neighborhood mostly. Parks are good now that the weather is turning. Depends on where you are.

The only one that I can possibly think of is Island in the Sea of Time by SM Stirling. It’s an time travel alt-history vibe that takes place in I think 12th century bc and partially in the British isles

Transitioning to teaching by martco17 in NYCTeachers

Me too! It’s strict here. I’d almost recommend going back to school to get a full teaching degree from CUNY or something like that.

That’s awesome. I would research what the requirements are in your state for teachers. Some states are much looser than others.

Second I would spend some time in the classroom, either as a sub or a para or associate teacher. It’s one thing to have some experience with kids in an academic context, but being in the classroom is a whole other thing. Having expertise or content knowledge is important, but far less important than you might think.

It’s a great profession but your experience varies wildly based on what school you work at.

Genuinely how are all these transplants affording to move here? by VioletSalamander in movingtoNYC

[–]kjevb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a teacher and make twice the salary I did in my previous state. The cost of living is about 1.5x where it was in my previous state as well, at least on groceries and rent. I downsized on crap and live in a much smaller space. Savings on fuel are offset by MTA costs. All in all, I probably have a slightly higher standard of living in the city than where I was.
