    Tomorrow I Go Towards My Calling (& Could Use a Few Good Thoughts)

    Tomorrow I am going to a Teacher Interview day and might be hired on the spot for a teaching position. I have been planning this career switch for a year and a half and am frankly a little nervous. I am posting here because I figure the more good thoughts I have behind me the better off I qill be. So if you don't mind adding some positive energy to the end of my quest, it would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

      As someone who's wife is a teacher, I wish you all the luck in the world. She's been out of school 4 years, still trying to find a full time position.

                  Get some sleep so you have a good clear mind and on the drive over go over any questions you think they would ask and know how you will respond in any given scenario.

                    Thanks for the good thoughts. The fair turned into a nightmare as no principal wanted to speak with a career changer. They are all just trying to fill their quotas of the No Child Left Behind Act and they didn't give a poop about my Masters program, enthusiasm or subject area exams. It felt like a scam and I was the mark. I am working on an article about this incredible experience. I have spent the last year working on this transition and got no help and little guidance from the Florida Department of Education. What a mess.

                        You should try looking at a vocational high school if you have any of those around where you live. The high school, which was a magnet vocational school, had teacher's that had experience in the field that they were teaching. I was in the IT program and I believe they all were programmers or something before becoming teachers.

                          If you are looking to coach, I can point you to some great coaching/teaching job boards.
