This weekend was all about making connections for me. After our hockey game (I’m assistant coaching my former high school’s hockey team) I talked with my former vice principal. We chatted about my job prospects and teaching in general for a few minutes before he introduced me to somebody from the opposing school who is going to take my resume for a possible job opening.
Also, I spent a few minutes talking to my best friend’s mom (also a teacher) about teaching and finding a job. She has taught at many different levels and had some interesting insights for me.
Who can you talk to today that might further your career? Is there a veteran teacher you can ask some questions of or a colleague that is willing to discuss pedagogy/your content/teaching/etc.?
