How soon should I get a teaching job?
I graduated from my teaching program a year ago. I had a couple of interviews and some job offers that didn’t go through. At the end of last summer I applied to a teaching assistant in a district near me and got hired. It not a bad gig it’s not far from where I live, I’m a teaching assistant in my specific field (high school/math), and I like the students. I’m applying to teaching positions in other districts, Im afraid that the longer I remain a teaching assistant, the less chances I have of becoming a full time teacher. Also I don’t think I want to become a math teacher in my current district, but I would for sure like to be a math teacher in other districts around that area. Any advice on whether to move onto this position for a district that may not be as good, but will give me teaching experience other than student teaching. Would me staying another year as a teaching assistant another extra year be a bad move for my career?
