The great thing about this cohort program is that it's relatively short—CHEERS! The bad thing is that the brevity does not allow for student teaching. While I and my creditors would love for me to get a full-time teaching job tomorrow, I am apprehensive about being fully prepared—FEARS! I'd be grateful for the apprentice-type experience of student teaching.
Instructional Assistants Needed all over Bucks County
I think I may have just found an opportunity to gain a little more experience and earn a paycheck, without being the "teacher of record." You might want to check this out:
The good people over at the Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22 have many postings for Instructional Assistant positions on their website. Click here to search available positions.
Mind you, as an Instructional Assistant, you won't be developing lesson plans or instructing. My hope is that working with the teacher I can learn from their planning, instructing, and perhaps most importantly, class management techniques. And hey, it'll be a paycheck from the field I'm striving to enter.
To apply, you need to visit this page and fill out their PDF application for a Classified/Support Position. They ask for your resume, letter of interest, completed BCIU Classified Application, official transcripts of degree(s) held, 3 references, and these clearance forms: PA State Police, Child Abuse History & FBI Fingerprint Clearance.
I've submitted my application this morning and so stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of, "Will Jennie get the Job?"
