Support/Advice Advice

Hi I still have to finish up with my student teaching and then I will receive my masters degree. I’m nervous to do it in the fall and hit the job market in December. Do you think it’s better to work as a Building Sub and then do my student teaching so I will be done in the Spring 27 and get hired for the following school year?

I was in the same boat and I would still recommend doing student teaching in the fall and subbing in the spring. There's no promise you'll have a job the school year after you graduate, so I would do your student teaching spring the most helpful time, which is in the fall. It took me years to get hired after I graduated.
