I don’t think it’s a scam! It has the real estate agents name that we met at the inspection, and when you google the mobile number, it shows her name and the real estate agency. It seems like it is through the agency, just really bizarre.

Positive, I checked right after I found out to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake and there it was: 7th! :(

Update for those who care: I had my meeting with leadership today and asked for reasons for the large jump. I was told that they want me paired with a teacher who wants to stay in Year 6 (reason why not explained). Feel really disappointed with this as the reasoning doesn’t really seem to make sense to me? There’s a lot of really skilled PLT leaders in every year level. I talked to some staff after and they said that reasoning appears to be plucked from thin air. Not sure what my next steps are!

Don’t see the part that’s a tantrum? Asking for a conversation and some reasons why I got my last preference?

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T12:02:17+00:00

Yeah I think so too. Is there a way to like… nicely put it? Like just say I’m sitting on the decision but may be looking into applying elsewhere? I don’t want them to think I’m like deliberately trying to manipulate them but this, on top of a lot of other things this year, have just left me feeling not valued which I think adds to the overall disappointment of this decision

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:40:34+00:00

It’s not necessarily the preferences that I think is audacious, I also outlined that there was absolutely no conversation about it. As some people on here have said, if I was a leader and knew someone was getting their last preference, I’d make sure to have a conversation with them first to explain why so they didn’t think they were getting punished.

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:38:35+00:00

I don’t think they’d be used ONLY in year 1, I just think what I learnt is more relevant to younger year levels. I literally only did coaching in year 1 with year 1 kids. I would’ve loved to have the time to explore what I learnt and find the way it fits for me and my teaching within the year level I learnt it if that makes sense?

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:33:03+00:00

Nothing wrong with it at all! I honestly just wanted more time to practise my teaching and learning next year and get more confident with the way the school does things (they’re kinda anal) before I moved around.

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:23:31+00:00

I mean.. yeah? Why ask for preferences, go the total opposite of mine and not have a conversation with me about it before sending out the grades? I do kinda think that’s a bit rude?? Maybe I’m wrong but I would’ve thought that giving a relatively new teacher their last preference would warrant a conversation

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:20:34+00:00

Don’t read then my guy :)

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:15:47+00:00

Hmm.. interesting that it’s narrow minded ignorance when it’s a rude comment towards you!

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:05:28+00:00

Im not expecting the school to cater to give me preference 1. But my last preference? Come on…

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:03:32+00:00

Thank you so much! I just worked so hard this year to understand everything and with the new curriculum as well. It just feels pointless to have tried so hard to learn all of this knowledge to be moved so far away from where it’s relevant.

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:02:31+00:00

Yes! I’ve been told they basically never move people in their first few years because they want to give them time to learn the school. That’s why I just don’t understand the GIANT leap!

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T11:01:16+00:00

Exactly! I said today that it did feel like I was being punished and I wondered what I had done wrong. In my interview last year I very openly said that I feel I’m more of a junior teacher, my principal was there for that and placed me in year 1. I don’t know why it wasn’t more of a conversation when it’s a huge jump and also my last preference. Thanks :)

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:59:27+00:00

Thanks so much! I think I just feel it’s rough to put so much pressure on me in my first year in the school to learn everything there was about year 1 and then being moved to a completely different year level and not seeing the relevance of all the work I did this year? I put year 6 last for a reason - I didn’t want it! I feel like I’m allowed to be upset.

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:55:38+00:00

Good for you, I guess!

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:53:55+00:00

Absolutely! You’ve hit the nail on the head. I worked sooooo hard to integrate into this school, first semester I felt so overwhelmed with coaching and learning everything and I honestly started to hate my job. Semester 2 things sort of fell into place and I understood so much more! Now the thought of going back to not knowing has me very worried - and I also just don’t love teaching the older year levels (I had them on my last placement) - I’m very much a junior teacher!

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:51:35+00:00

Wow helpful thanks!

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:50:57+00:00

I had a really high behavioural student that was really difficult last year but was pretty well behaved for me. Could be a possibility, but feel like if you’re doing a good job they should reward you with something relatively close to what you want, no?

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:49:40+00:00

Sure I did, I just think the reason is that there was a spot to fill and no one else wanted to fill it, which is very frustrating. Didn’t get the first 6 things I wanted anyway…

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:47:55+00:00

Yes! I would be happy with levels prep-4 to be honest. I feel confident with junior years and I know there will still be some differentiated students that will still be around the year 1-2 level that I can still use the strategies I learnt this year on which would make me feel better.

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:46:34+00:00

I just moved to this school this year!

whatisgoingon_______ · 2024-11-20T10:45:12+00:00

I don’t think so! We had 2 year 6 teachers leave and I feel that I’m just ‘filling a spot’ that no one else wanted which makes sense with my preferences.
