Is it right to put substitute teaching in resumes? I"m only a day to day sub in about 7 different school districts.

I included it in my resume that I used for a teaching position.\n\nWhat kind of employment are you looking for? If you are looking for employment as a teacher then definately include your sub time.\n\nOtherwise, describe your work as a sub such as; developed lesson plans, organized daily activities, kept attendance records, etc.

I am 36 and this is my eighth year teaching.  The first 1-3 years are tricky because you have to figure out how to NOT spend 2-3 hours after the fact grading papers.  It took me about 2 years to figure out what works for me and what doesn't.  I spend a lot of time around positive people who love their jobs and who are willing to share and receive new ideas.  I keep a binder of ideas, good and terrible, to help me keep from making mistakes over and over.  As far as the pay goes...yeah, I'm underpaid.  But you know what?  I work 180 days a year from 7:30-3:30.  I am out of school when my child is out of school.  I do something everyone of those 180 days a year that really matters.  Talk to people who love their jobs and see if they say things that sound appealing to you.  Truth is...nobody ever decided to be a teacher because the pay is awesome or because it is easy as pie.  Folks who love teaching either feel called to do it, love kids, enjoy the opportunity to do something different in the summer (I got my real estate license and sell at my will), etc.  If you have a deep feeling that it isn't the right thing for you, move on.  There are children who deserve a teacher who wants to be there and who feel good about their work.

Our school district designates certain days as "Teacher Work Days" or "Teacher Development Days" when students cannot be on campus. These are important days that allow teachers to spend time needed to plan, collaborate and generally improve their teaching skills by attending workshops and conferences. With most of the school year spent in the classroom, teachers hardly have time to meet with other teachers to collaborate, plan, explore new teaching techniques or improve their skills.\n\nAfter a school day or on Friday, most teachers (at our school at least) take loads of work home to grade, etc. Some teachers regularly come in on the weekend, too. A few days spread out during the school year without students provides necessary non-student time during the work week that teachers really need.\n\nI agree that the child care issue is a problem for those households with two parents who work. However, if a school year calendar is provided which tell parents when non-student days are scheduled, couldn't parents arrange child care well ahead of time? Before I became a teacher six years ago--when I had children at home--I reviewed the school year calendar when I got it before the end of the current school year and arranged childcare well ahead of time. Just a thought.

Youl should list them in reverse order.  Your current position first and your first position should be listed last.  It is probably a good idea to list all 3.  It will show your prospective employer that you were promoted twice and that you are versatile.

Dude, are you a teacher or a fool.  If your principal new you were asking random people on the internet for help, would he fire you?\n\nDude, ask your co-teachers. I'm sure your not the only history teacher in your school.

I'm in the same boat. My resume hasn't been updated in years before I've gottten my volunteer jobs. But any jobs that are temporary should be included in your resume. They're going to ask you on your background and for references. So before you go for the interview, put them in chronicle order. My temporary jobs were there as in volunteer for a PT teacher's aide, a PT volunteer as a hospital, a volunteer camp counselor, and a PT secretary's assistant. It's helpful.

well you could write the School Board in the district of the schools you are targeting. then if they approve, send out fliers to the schools' Principal and get them posted in the teachers' lounges at their schools.

Well, in a city the size of San Diego, certainly the public school district is always in need of new staff?\n\nhttp://www.sandi.net/personnel/\n\nYou also may want to try these (I'm not sure if they hire aides).\n\nhttp://www.encntr.com/\nhttp://www.sdrc.org/c_about_who.php

Nothing wrong with being a substitute teacher --- it's good to have training in another profession if the acting career doesn't pan out ---cover your butt ---you'll learn that in pursuing a career in acting!\n     ( Just be honest and tell the folkes!)

I recommend that you give the real reasons but that you try to do so without assigning blame\n\nDear Headmaster Soandso,\n  It was with the intention of helping children who deeply need the specialized attention this institution was concieved to provide that I accepted this post. (Here detail the things you had hoped to do and how excited you had been about the potential value of the programs)Over time, I have found that it is impossible to meet that goal here and so with great regret, I must give notice that effective January 1, 2007, I will be resigning.\n  Yours very truly, etc, etc.\n\nYou can cross a bridge without burning it. When you are applying for similar positions in the future, explain your departure from this school as gently as you can without lying... something like "I did not feel that there was enough opportunity there for me to really meet the needs of the children entrusted to our care"\nGood luck.

Basically, they're asking "Out of all the people that applied for this position, why do you think we should choose you?". In other words, you have to sell yourself. You have to tell them what is so special about you that will make you stand out from the rest. If you had experience in teaching, then say that you will brng your expertise into the classroom from your previous teaching experience. Say that you will bring a positive attitude and tons of energy to the classroom, which will facilitate the learning of your students. In other words, tell them what do you have to offer to your students and the school that is rare. \n\nFor the second question, they're asking you, how your skills and abilities will facilitate YOUR growth in the workplace. So you can say something like "Since I bring a lot of energy to the classroom, the students will be more willing to participate in my exciting activities. This will give me an opportunity to learn more about my students and the special needs that they might have. This will help me in my future because I will know how to handle different personlity types and different learning styles that students have." Hope this helps! Good luck!

Consider working in a support position in the public or private school sector, as they only operate from Monday to Friday.  There are opportunities in the trades, services and administration within schools.  All require criminal record checks.

Well, that would depend on WHY your contract is not being renewed.  If it is a result of something like downsizing, elimination of position, etc, then it wouldn't hurt.  But if it is a result of poor performance or a discipline issue, then it could hurt you if you plan on still teaching.

I guess I can assume you aren't unionized.  If you are speak to your union rep.  If not I'm sure you could find a lawyer that can help you by looking in the phone book.  Or, maybe you could ask one of the teachers thats been working at the school for a long time if they know of someone you could speak to.
