Simply because I want to say something to what is going on with my contract outside of the comment section of my previous post, I will talk about it here.
So, despite the fact that NYC has a hiring freeze (which as I’ve been told will lift in August) I am still under contract with NYC public schools and am required to complete my 2 years teaching in a high needs school. To be high needs, I am pretty sure it dictates that a at least 50% of the students in the school receive free lunch. The question of, “if a person doesn’t get a job, what happens?” hasn’t been answered yet. It has simply been brushed over and they say, well, do your best to find a job.
So, now that I have said that, I will continue to the job market. I went on 2 interviews this week. I haven’t heard back from the school from monday’s interview for some reason (I’ll talk about it in a bit) and the one today went pretty well, so I should hear back in a couple weeks.The school from monday, as I thought, had a great interview with me. After my demo lesson (which consisted of 3 woman, one being the principal and the others being teachers at the school), one of the teachers told me that it’s difficult to get her attention in these things and I caught her attention…. now whether that means the bad kind (insert immature sex joke here) or the kind where she was saying I conducted a good interview, I’m not sure. But because they haven’t contacted me since then is a little frightening.
We’ll see what we see. Also, JMcD has told me that Harlem is in the teens of most dangerous neighborhoods to live in, in the country. Lovely right?
