So after two unfruitful (is that even a word?) attempts at obtaining a job, I find myself being a long-term 6th grade sub until Christmas with promise of a job-share (half-time work and half-time pay) after that. Sounds good enough. Probably words you shouldn't settle for with a job, but music to my ears after seeking out employment for two solid months.
Here are the things I found startling this morning at my human resources appointment: one- I get half of the full salary as a teacher (yay me- better than a sub's pay); two- the union plays a HUGE part in teacher's lives up here; three- we get 12 sick days and 2 personal days (four more than Texas); and four- the salary schedule is much better than what it showed online- that only showed what you get paid for teaching the 174 student days. Whoooo-hoooo! Big bonus for extra 12 or so teacher professional days that are scheduled in.
More to come! I report Monday to school in the morning, meeting at the Seattle Times building in the p.m. and the Red Hook Brewery for "social times." after that. Gosh, I love this school!
