I iz official...almost.
I checked my thingy at the NJ DoE site, to check on my CE.
Finally, finally, finally my K-5 certificate application has gone from "Pending" to "Issued". My Science one is now "pending for test scores". Yeah, I know.
So as soon as I get the physical paper, I can officially look for a job in elementary school. Or at least a long-term sub position. And be paid as a certified sub instead of just a regular one. And apply for sub jobs at at least one more school district for next year.
Conveniently, there's a teacher job fair over at the local community college in about two weeks, just after I take the science test.
So I guess I'd better update the old resume and pull out my bestest interview suit., eh? Being alternate route, I know my chances are slim for elementary, but at least I can get my name out there and tell them I'm waiting on my Science cert.
I see there are a lot of openings for Middle School French teachers too. What's up with that?
