Despite laws that are in place to not discriminate against job applicants, it can be difficult for older teachers to be hired. Ms. Sawyer is 55 years old. She used to teach Kindergarten and also taught English to all grades in a departmentalized elementary school 15 years ago. Most recently she teaches three year olds in a daycare. She wants to become a paraprofessional in a public school, but has not been called for an interview. What can Ms. Sawyer do to attract the attention of administrators in her school district? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would tell the teacher to keep pushing forward and continue to take classes at her local college to stay fresh. Employers like to see that you are willing to grow and learn. Sometimes older teachers can be stuck in their ways and seem like they know it all because they have seen it all. Although that may be almost true the education system is changing every year, we can all use extra education.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This can be a great idea for Ms. Sawyer.
