from STEP to music

After finishing at the STEP program (Special Ed) in Manchester, where I taught for one month, taking students from severly lacking in their education, creating curriculum for them, speaking with their homeroom teachers...as well as being interviewed for a Kindergarten position....and not being hired (there were 11 candidates)......I moved on. It is unfortunate that schools and principals do not take into account the many young certified teachers (like myself) who put forth much effort and faithfulness and entrust them with a teaching job. It is very difficult to recieve a job as an elementary teacher as there are many certified teachers looking for jobs. One has to have a few long term substitute teaching jobs posted on their resume to even be considered. This can take from 2-5 years to obtain.


Having moved on, I accepted a job as a music teacher in East Hartford. I absolutely love working with grades K-5.
