I am not sure most school districts care if their students learn math. Can you coach? If so, you should be able to increase your chances of getting a teaching job most places.

Have you tried looking into any private institutions?

Are you able to move to another state? What is the highest level of math you are certified to teach?

Seriously??? I thought there was a teacher shortage across the country. Have you ever considered relocating?

Can you teach online or at a private school? Sometimes the religious private schools in my area are hiring.

This might be a better way personally, I don't know if you would want to go back in the admin grind anyway

Really? I thought there was a shortage of full-time teaching position from where I am. That's crazy to me

In CA we have a teacher shortage, coupled with declining enrollment. It's really bizarre. Admin like to hire young teachers, so they can boss them around and so they will stay a long time. I'm sure there is some ageism going on as well.

If it's anything like Florida, despite a massive teacher shortage, they put up quite a lot of roadblocks to retired teachers returning to the classroom. Didn't used to be that way, there was a time you could "retire", claim your pension, and be rehired the next year.

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.

It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.
