I subbed at the local district every day essentially for a few years. When I graduated from the credential program there were 2 openings in my content area. I applied for both, but they hired someone else.
I subbed at the local district every day essentially for a few years. When I graduated from the credential program there were 2 openings in my content area. I applied for both, but they hired someone else. During my observation hours for my credential program I was placed at a middle school in a diff district. I was chitchatting with a sub there who said he's applied for teaching jobs since he has his credential, but they always hire someone else. During student teaching I talked to two subs who were stuck subbing at that school site even though they have their credential. I did a long term subbing gig for 5 months, but they hired someone else when the guy didn't come back. Online I always hear how subbing is a good way to get your foot in the door, but I've never actually seen it happen. I do live in a boring middle class area though. I can imagine if very rough districts they'll permnanetly hire a sub on the spot if they have a credential. submitted by /u/JimCap5 [link] [comments]
