Hi Ben!
Today is the last day of my 2 week Spring Break and I dread going back. The Thursday before I left I discovered the promise the principal had made to me about being able to grow my program was a complete lie. I had a student come to me upset because the counselor (who does the schedules) told her she couldn’t sign up for Spanish 3 next year. When confronted the counselor told me it was a decision straight from the principal. He had told me there wasn’t enough interest but yet students had been told in a meeting they couldn’t sign up for it. Anyways…I want out of there. NO WHERE in the county do they teach or obviously support upper level foreign language classes. .
So my question is, would it be wise to go ahead and reach out to principals about positions for next year? And if yes, how would be the best way to market myself? Letter? Video examples? Should I create an E-portfolio? I don’t want to appear desperate. So what, in your opinion, would be the best option?
Thank you so much!
Erica
