RSD update

I went in for the "skills assessment" this morning.  There were 32 multiple choice questions plus an essay about teaching methods.  I'm sure I aced it, and it didn't surprise me that it wasn't all that hard.  As of 4:30 this afternoon the recruiting specialist will be sending out an email to all the RSD principals, and I should start hearing back from them by next week.  I also have to get a TAT, which is "Temporary Authority to Teach," which I'm assuming will tide me over until I can get a provisional teaching license.  You can have a provisional license for up to 3 years as long as you're making satisfactory progress in a teacher education program.

According to the New Orleans Public Schools website, there are 34 RSD (non-charter) schools open in the city at this point, about half of which serve elementary-age students (grades 1-5, my area of certification).  More than 2,000 students have registered for school with RSD since the beginning of the school year.

By the end of next week I may officially be a teacher in the New Orleans Recovery School District.

When I've officially accepted a teaching position, I'm going to buy this.

That's just so completely awesome. I'm really really excited for you about all this.

Regardless of what the situation is when you're in town for Christmas, I'm taking you out to celebrate. Properly.

A celebration complete with a drink or two, though you can't get a to-go cup in Michigan. :-)

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll pick a place you'll really like. And it's my treat.

It is very exciting. I can't wait to start hearing from the principals!

Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This is exciting.

New Orleans has been good to me so far, but crossed fingers never hurt. :-)
