manhattan sub work wanted(all schools).
By wen

dear fellow teachers,

i am looking for sub work.
i am a teacher w/2+ yrs experience
at private elementary schools.
i taught general classes as a sub
(grades 1-8). was a reading tutor
for gr. 1-2. i taught
art for 2 yrs
(grades pre k - 8) and was a school
librarian for 1 year.
i did not
renew my per diem subbing licence with
the NYC-BOE yet. was i supposed to do
this in august? can i still do it now?
when they state that you cannot sub more
than 41 days, do they mean 'consecutive
days at one school'?
or do they mean 41 days - even if
it is spread out over

10 schools and
several weeks? also does one still
need to write out a $15.00 check to
ORPAL, or has the fee gone up?
please inform!!!

if you are a sub who cannot make it
to a school, and you know well in
advance, perhaps, you can contact me-
and i can go in your place that day.

other than that
i do not believe in
yelling at students. for me, if i yell,
i will lose my voice, leaving me
powerless.

name tags are recommended if
this is your first time at the school.

if i have difficulty right off the bat,
i may engage them in a game; usually
hang man. then i teach them a new word.
usually a college level word.
7th and 8th graders are very impressed
to learn a few college words.
then if they want to learn more words,
i say if we can get the classwork done,
we will play more word games at the
end of class.

depending on how strict the school is,
one can also
write down names on a paper list
or write out
pick slips. then if those
students remain 'good'
thru day's end, you tear up the pink
skip or list.

thank you,

wen
