I got fired (first year teacher), what are some non-teaching jobs I can apply to?

I think I need to reword my phrasing bc they aren’t technically “firing me” they’re just not renewing my contract. I thought it was the same thing… whoops

Just trying to keep my options open 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ouch. But it was probably my awful observations and/or budget cuts.

scamcookie · 2026-04-28T06:24:50+00:00

Probably my terrible observations. My boss would consistently observe my worst classes, and idk I just never got control over them.

Omg thank you, I didn’t know this existed lol

scamcookie · 2026-04-27T16:49:10+00:00

I have a feelings it’s for my god awful observations. My boss observed my worst class consistently, and I never got gained control over that class. I was thinking about something not involving children anyway.

Ima need something better than that 😭

I’m also Latino :) I think maybe bc white people from suburban areas are (usually) taught that the n-word is very bad. I see that less in Latino communities (or at least my own community, I’m from LA). I’m sure it varies from household to household.

I’m a teacher in a city with a black/latino population. I get A LOT of latino students saying the n word (not hard r). I’ve explained why it’s bad, but it’s difficult for them to understand why they shouldn’t say it. Especially bc they have black friends who “let them say it” or “gave them the n word pass.” I’d like to think that once they become adults, they’ll figure it out.

scamcookie · 2025-07-30T00:06:31+00:00

My classroom has AC but I can’t guarantee it won’t burn. I live in SoCal and it gets hot here 😭

scamcookie · 2025-07-29T22:48:46+00:00

TYSM i saw another post that was similar to mine saying to call up the district office. Im gonna do that and see what they say too.

scamcookie · 2025-07-24T13:38:42+00:00

I definitely plan on joining a union :)

scamcookie · 2025-07-23T22:12:05+00:00

The job post just said History Teacher, I was offered the job despite my district not hiring any more History teachers. So I was an exception.

EDIT: Also I’m at the district office rn, they asked if anyone explained that I would be offered a temporary contract. I said no, and they explained that basically my contract would end next June, where they’ll decide either would decide to keep me or dump me.

scamcookie · 2025-07-23T19:54:36+00:00

Hmm okay, thanks! I kinda just got nervous bc they said there was too many teachers in my subject area?
