Since retiring from full time teaching, I've been looking for a part time job. I read the job ads, but have yet to find the job I want. Reading all the job ads though has helped me to know the job description I desire. This is what I want to do:
- Work one or two same days a week during daytime hours
- Work with a small group of same young children who need academic/social-emotional support
- Have the freedom to utilize my teaching skill and knowledge to plan and implement a positive program for those children
- Make a respectable wage
- Belong to a group that is focused on the positive welfare of children and their families
- Close proximity to my home--ideally a place I can bike or walk to.
I'll continue to be on the look out for that job. If you hear of a job that meets this criteria, let me know.
