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.
