Looking to be an assistant

Posted by Job hunter on 2/21/2021, 12:26 pm

Hello everyone, I started teaching in 2019 in elementary music and I am heavily considering switching to MS band. I am wondering what should I do at this point to be highly considered for hire?

Should I still include my student teaching experience in my resume?

Should I wait it out because of the pandemic?

What should I expect and do at the interview to show my best?

Please, I am open to any and all options and opinions.
Thanks!!

I would suggest contacting middle school programs in your area to see if you could help in any way. If you were to teach some master classes weekly, or teach some private lessons, that would help with your resume.

Since you haven't taught very long, include your student teaching. Start thinking about how you would teach band, look for resources that are up to date. I would not count you out of an interview based your elementary experience.

If I were in your shoes, I'd want the interviewer to feel confident that I could infact teach MS band.

If you are able, include your band cooperating teacher as a reference.
