leave replacement
By Sue

Clip to ScrapBook   
When I worked as an interim teacher, which I am assuming is the same as the leave replacement, I did not sign a contract. I did not have insurance, either.

I started out at at substitute pay (which was less than reg. teacher
pay). Then after so many consecutive days at the one school, I received full teacher pay. During this time, I was open about looking for jobs, and I would drive to other schools after school to talk with principals.

Luckily for me, the teacher I filled in for was not returning to that job so I was offered it. The rest is family history as they say.

I hope the best for you --

but don't discount math. Math is often the subject that can make or break a student's desire for college and technical careers.

I have tutored students who don't like math -- they say they just don't "get it" but usually they can, with more practice and by using those good old manipulatives - even in 6th grade.

Good luck to you and keep us posted!
Sue
