Teachers
Hi Ladies,
I currently teach in an urban, low-income, "failing" district. The district I'm hoping to get an interview with tomorrow is the complete opposite, suburban, middle to upper middle class, highly successful district. How do I make my experience relevant to their district?
Here's what I know I taught at one of the most successful high schools in the state, IB curriculum, involved in co-curricular activities. And as horrible as this sounds, I know that I add an element of diversity to their staff which they are seriously lacking. Thoughts?

Re: Teachers
I'm sorry, but what about your experience isn't relevant to this other school? Teaching is teaching, no matter the school; it's just how you connect with the kids that changes.
If your school is like our rougher neighbourhoods, then the main problem tends to be student engagement. So, you've learned to work harder to maintain people's attention. You design creative lessons to hook them into wanting to learn more. You've totally killed it at classroom management. Any school worth its weight want teachers who are passionate enough to try and reach every student, to inspire them to do better, regardless of whether they're in IB or they're just trying to pass a test

I am not a teacher but I agree.
I agree as well. I currently teach in a low-income area, and I feel that it is preparing me more than all my schooling did for a cushy public school job. For one, my classroom management skills have been put to the test all year, and now I feel like I can handle any problem behaviors that come along.
Best of luck!
