Case: How old are you? 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!) The first thing I think Ms. Sawyer can do is make sure that she is correctly submitting her application. Perhaps calling the school board or showing up in person to make sure that her application has be received and is in the right hands. It she checks all of this out and everything checks out the next move I would make is to get involved. Perhaps through substituting in the classroom or volunteering at the school or school events. Getting her name and face out there as much as possible is her best chance at getting hired. |
