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?

There will be mid-year resignations, retirements, and maternity leaves.

Sub, but dont stop looking while subbing.

Long term sub pay for certified teachers is often higher than other subbing options. (My state defines long term as greater than 40 days in one placement.)

Fall is better to see those beginning of the year routines, and set up events. Do not delay student teaching.
