I have been substitute teaching for 3 years. I have been accepted into a Masters program and eligible where I live to do either K thru 5 classroom or P thru 12 LBD. I am hesitant. I love subbing and the autonomy over my schedule. I dont like no PTO and no benefits.

I have an interview next week for an LBD position. Any advice or questions I need to ask in the interview?

Anyone ever made the jump from subbing to teaching and not like it??

My kiddo is going in the 8th grade in the fall. He struggles alot in ELA. When he entered 7th grade he was reading at a 3rd grade level, he is leaving 7th on a 5th. His biggest struggles are comprehension, and vocabulary.

We always work with him over the summer and can usually sustain him where he is. He recieves tier 3 interventions, was recently tested for Specific learning disability and Other Heath impairments and did not qualify but his processing speed was in the 2nd percentile, everything else was normal. He does have a 504 for ADHD.

I wanted to try to get him closer to 6th grade level over the summer. I have the time to work with him, I just honestly cant pay a private tutor. I have been on Teachers pay teachers but I am lost looking for comphrension stuff for him.

He does read daily, he doesnt like it so his stamina is poor and requires frequent prompting. I did recently buy him some Hi Low books, I just learned about and he does really seem to like those.
