This. My sister is a principal who was informed she would be receiving a placement from this HR passion project. Well, the biggest behavior concern this particular candidate had encountered was a fidgety student who couldn't remain seated for thirty minute blocks of time. I'm an adult and can barely remain seated that long. I'm trying to remain optimistic for my sisters' sake, but the behaviors her Filipino SPED teacher is about to experience are going to make her reconsider this program.

I think people forget that there's a national teacher shortage, particularly for SPED teachers. I know my sister has had open SPED positions for years in her school's specific program. I considered returning to teaching but as someone else mentioned, if you try and come from another district they start you on a certain low point on the salary scale. Your years of service from another district don't move over. I'd be starting my 22nd year but would start at the salary of a 12th year teacher I believe? Not worth it at all. [/quote]
