Aloha, Rose ~~~
Previously, I mentioned how I felt as though my Principal has it "in" for me and that I was concerned about being fired at the end of the school year. I also said that on the day of my formal observation (a couple of weeks ago), three different crises occurred in the classroom and it was just a SLIGHTLY stressful day .....
Anyhoo -- Principal called me in on Wednesday to discuss the observation and (you'll appreciate this, Rose) you were right in your asssessment. She apparently does NOT plan to fire me. She was very nice and very complimentary, despite having been snippy and snooty the entire year until now. She had favorable comments on just about everything regarding the class and my staff, and said we were doing an excellent job. (I was stunned -- LOL.)
Regardless, much as I love teaching and working with kids, this is NOT the job I want in the long run. I still have some unresolved licensure "issues" that may prevent my finding another job until the end of the 2007 school year, but I'm going to keep looking anyway. I've also submitted an application to a program called New York City Teaching Fellows, which is designed for career changers and provides a subsidized education (lack of complete and appropriate education is my main licensure "issue"). However, given that the program receives upwards of 60,000 applications each year and hires only 1/8's of the applicants, I'm not holding my breath.
So, that's the scoop for now. Thanks for the words of encouragement, Rose. Sending lots of wonderful holiday wishes your way.
Peace, Love, Headbutts and Whisker Tickles ~~~

Visualize acceptance into the program. Put the energy, with gratitude to the Universe, for all you need and want. You will get licensed and then have your choice of job situation.
Always putting positive energy toward meeting your goals. Have more compassion for yourself.
love
