r/NJTeachers

I have been substitute teaching for three years. I recently started my application to get my CE (Alternate Route) in hopes to secure a teaching position at the school where I sub. My transcript was supposedly sent to the DOE over a week ago, but there is nothing on my application page that indicates it was received. In addition, I took the physiology and hygiene questionnaire which instructed me to "take a screenshot of the results screen," but there was no results screen and there doesn't appear to be a place to upload screenshots on the DOE site anyway. I feel like I'm stuck and the deadline to apply for a teaching position at my school is approaching quickly. I already sent a message to the DOE about this and am awaiting their response. Has anyone else had issues like this with their application?

I just got tenured at an elementary school. But next year they are moving me to the high school where I will also be teaching a class in a foreign language I haven’t taught in over a decade. I have no high school teaching experience and feel intimidated by the age group and curriculum. Do I suck it up and try it out to preserve my tenure, or look for another elementary job and start over?
