[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’ve taught in both DCPS and DC charter schools, they generally don’t care if you mention fear of retaliation. Also you’re more likely to get a job closer to August, although sometimes the pickings are slim. DCPS despite the facade that it puts out is in desperate need of teachers. Most school districts these days take what hey can get as the workload keeps increasing, pay stagnates and student loans will *only* pay off your entire debt if you work in a high stressed, highly impoverished school. As long as you don’t have any red flags in your background check you are pretty solid. I wish caution you about applying to DC charter schools. They don’t have many rights and are often at-will employees, I’ve seen people walked out at the end of the day with little warning about what they did wrong and without so much as a 30 intervention plan. Like all work places politics matter but teaching in DCPS is often a landmine. I would suggest that you try to get into one of the better DCPS schools.[b] Now that IMPACT is gone you might have a little time for the school admin to allow you to grow into your classroom manangenent style[/b].

Uhm. Where did IMPACT go? Curious DCPS teacher here.[/quote]

IMPACT no longer has ME's and its strictly school-based. This would allow the DCPS teacher in question to just have good political skills. [/quote]
