This summer, Rahway Public Schools decided to RIF all non-tenured teachers. After five years of working in the district as a student teacher, substitute, and full-time Social Studies teacher, like millions of Americans this year, I now find myself out of work.
I developed this website to provide examples and testimonies as I seek to return to the classroom this September.
