I hate waiting. There is nothing I hate more than ambiguity, than not knowing. I applied for a Junior English teaching position for a local public school (I currently work with this school as center director for an alternative education option within the district). I went in for an interview but didn't hear anything for a week. It turns out an internal candidate (the former Literacy teacher) got that position, so now there's a Literacy position available. I finally heard back from the Assistant Principal today that I'm still being considered for the Literacy position. She said with the holidays it could take a while to get the ball rolling. She said she hopes to have interviews scheduled sometime in the next two weeks and that I should call her back if I don't hear anything in that time frame. Sounds hopeful, right? I don't have a reading endorsement, but she said that isn't required (even though the online job posting says otherwise). I have an ESL endorsement, and it seems like a lot of the concepts and strategies covered in my coursework is very similar to strategies a reading specialist would use. Luckily, I'm still on maternity leave through December 17th. It would be great if I could just start a new position instead of returning to my old job at all. Keeping my fingers crossed that this works out!
