Yes. At least the one I know is still teaching. The funny thing was that the district originally told them they had to do more training (despite having the Masters and teaching cert) and did not give them a job. Then they gave them a long term sub job at sub pay. Then they gave them a job when a teacher walked out. Did it matter that they were not qualified to teach that grade? No- of course not! Just get in there- suddenly you don’t need more training- you will be fine! The teacher said if it weren’t for the team of other teachers that grade, they would have quit and walked away from teaching altogether. They already had wanted to quit Create every single day. Their counselor at NLU in the Create program kept them together enough to get through- barely. They had an incident where they whistle blew during student teaching on abusive or at least highly inappropriate practices in the classroom and the district gave them no support. That was one reason NLU was unhappy. They still work in the district and love their coworkers and students. It’s the admin (and parents- those that are completely disengaged in their kid’s academic lives and whose kids are in the gap, and the parents who think their children are the greatest gift to the district and are overly-involved) that make the teachers roll their eyes. They know it’s going to get ugly financially and there is a contract coming up soon.
