¿Que hago?
I don't know what to do? My principal is pressuring me about my plans for next year. I can't give him an answer until I go to this job fair on Sat. I was clear about it and told him that I could not make a decision until I knew what other bilingual programs were like, etc. I'm not too keen on staying b/c the vet first grade bilingual teacher is leaving, which would only leave me (there are two bilingual, two monolingual classes). The principal assured me that he would look for a vet bilingual teacher to be my mentor, etc. I'm not sure about that b/c if he doesn't, then I'm screwed b/c then the bilingual planning would fall all on me (like it did on the other bilingual teacher this year). She was the only reason I was considering staying b/c I felt like next year I could be more of a contribution to the planning and share the load. He kept going on and on about all of the resources available at the school and that if I didn't see them this semester it was b/c of the situation that I came into. BUT the reason the other teacher is leaving is b/c she felt like the workload was too much for her (and I agree). So if the vet didn't get to see these resources, how do I know that I'm going to? I'm just going to go to the job fair and ask a lot of questions. If nothing compares to what I have now, then I'll just stay there. I told the vet teacher that I was feeling very selfish b/c I was thinking only about me. What is best for ME. Best pay, best benefits, most structured program, etc. But she told me that I have to think about me b/c I have to go there and face that every day. I have to keep reminding myself of that. I was hired on a temp. contract b/c it was Feb. 1, so I'm not tied down to this district and I'm just starting. Why shouldn't I explore my options, right?
