Don’t Get Too Busy to Do that Job Search

Readers, please share this with busy colleagues who have expressed interest in alternative teaching positions.

Is it time to put on your interview shoes? Spring can be crazy, between meetings, more meetings, tests, more tests, assignments to grade, grades to share or complete, conversations with parents, etc. In the meantime, maybe you took the kids to Wisconsin or Florida for spring break. Teachers often keep going like crazy and don’t look back until it’s over.

But hiring for next year’s open positions is well underway now. Were you thinking of looking closer to home? Or finding a better-paying district? Moving to a district that has a Spanish opening? Whatever your reasons, this post is just a reminder to spiff that resume and get online if you have not done so already.
