Educators with PRIDE Unite

I didn't get a pink slip this year. I am sorry for those that did.

I resigned on my own. Life has me moving again. I am working the large application packets. One of the things I just love... not... about applying for jobs in Maine is that they are still on the paper system. Ugh.. this means mailing giant packets.

I hope more jobs open up closer to where I'll be living. I'd really love a chance to teach and live in the same town. Still I am applying in places where there are incredibly small class sizes and maybe they won't mind that I have mostly special ed experience and don't want to do that anymore.

After 14 years of keeping my distance maybe I am ready to settle into being that type of teacher. Who lives and works and is a part of the community. I'm sort of private and been one to keep my distance. But it would be so much simpler on The General if we worked in the same town. Easier morning routines, getting to school activities quicker (involving less time away from my own job). The list goes on and on.
