My parents, both retired teachers, worked for the city.
I work as a teacher for the city.
I contacted my hs English teacher, who contacted his old chairperson, who interviewed me and said he didn't have a job for me but suggested I interview with someone he'd once worked with. I then had to interview with the principal.
I had the license, I had the certification tests, I had the diploma and a high GPA, plus a giant binder with one year's worth of lesson plans.
Was there anything wrong with that?
Just curious, do you have to do any of the JCOPE training i do?
Your license certifies that the state of NY considers you qualified. You in addition to that license have at least a bachelors if not a masters degree in education or a course subject. Most NY educational institutions require an in classroom internship of sorts which includes the review of a professional teacher. So i assume you passed that with flying colors.
A couple questions
Were you hired by anyone you knew?
Do you work for, or does anyone who may work for you, have a blood relationship with you?
If not your OK its not nepotism
