So it seems we all got our assignments today- back to the first school from September. <br />I suspected this months ago...that the DOE was never going to keep working at finding us new weekly locations. I would also like to say that I thought the "algorythm" was for all of us to be placed in schools that needed our subject area. Clearly, not the case. So I'm being sent back to the same schools that didn't post any vacancies in most subject areas including mine!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-34605741247417015342012-01-26T09:00:10.165-05:002012-01-26T09:00:10.165-05:00I hope it gets around through your administrators ...I hope it gets around through your administrators talking to other administrators that ATRs are not what Klein and Walcott pegged you at. My school just had a Kinder teacher retire, and the sub is not an ATR. The principal has publicly stated she will not hire an ATR. Yet she was given the name of an ATR who impressed the 2 principals he served under when he had a 2-week position. Unfortunately they couldn't offer him anything. But she refused to hire him because his wife works at her school. I would think she would care more about the recommendations than the relationship. She did call one ATR--but this teacher is an ATR because of her. She was the Reading Specialist until this principal decided to lose the position in a school that really needs it. This teacher is 2 years from retirement and does not want a classroom position but a reading position. That is her certification and license area. <br /><br />DoE making schools pay for teachers was one of the worst decisions ever because principals must now decide between a reading teacher or a TAG teacher. And they always go for TAG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-50588751290942916092012-01-26T00:20:00.808-05:002012-01-26T00:20:00.808-05:00Congratulations Chaz and I wish you the very best!...Congratulations Chaz and I wish you the very best!Theorem Oxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-53972773252384596382012-01-25T22:40:16.174-05:002012-01-25T22:40:16.174-05:00Congrats Chaz.
