As some of you may or may not be aware, I'm currently a substitute teacher and working on earning my teaching credential.
Once I pass subject matter (English) testing in January and March, I'll qualify as an intern and should have an easier time finding a job. There is a shortage of English teachers in this area and I'm being encouraged to apply.
I started subbing the first week of October and have slowly picked up more jobs each week since. I've subbed every grade K-12. At the junior high and high school level, I've had math, English, PE, science, peer counseling, student leadership, drama, and tomorrow I will teach music. I was supposed to have my first social studies class today, but the teacher decided to come to/stay at work.
Just for fun and to perhaps pick the brains of others who may have or currently are subs, I'm going to post positive and negative incidents from time to time, to gauge insight. Full-time teachers also can contribute.
Doubtful I'll post every little thing, but there have been days (both good and bad) that would be fitting for a dynasty.
Also, from time to time, I'll add how the search is going for a long-term or full-time job.
