Last week, the list of job openings was released for our school district. It is a very cumbersome process in which teachers can apply during two different interview cycles and the transfers are dealt with through HR.
This is the first year in the last several years that I have not even peeked at the list and it feels really good.
It had been years since I had felt happy in my job.
Last Spring, I was so lucky to come across this coaching position that is just the right fit for me. I love working at the school that I am at this year and I am so fortunate to be a part of the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools initiative and the amazing things that the program is bringing to our district and my school.
It feels so amazing to not have to be applying, interviewing, waiting and anxious again this year. For this I am very grateful.
This post is a part of the 14th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. After a few years away, I am challenging myself to write every day in March this year, along with an amazing community of other bloggers. You can find our writing linked up on the Two Writing Teachers blog.
I am so glad you have found a job you love and feel no need to keep looking. Yesterday I found myself looking at the job listings in my district after another very frustrating meeting. Sometimes just the looking helps you stay committed where you are and what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.
What a relief! How wonderful you were able to pause and take a moment to soak up that appreciation. Enjoy coaching. 🙂 I really love your elephant at the top of the page, just so cute!!!
Congratulations on finding your right-fit job. It feels good to be in the right place.
That’s a wonderful feeling, and I’m so glad you have it. I’m leaving my coaching position at the end of this year and going back to the classroom–I can’t wait!
