This is my 1st year teaching my specialty in my current
district in a .5 position. One of the other teachers in my
department retired so interviews were conducted, but I did
not get the position. My observations were excellent, I had
letters of recommendation from the retiring teacher (my
dept. head and my mentor teacher) and two of my colleagues
were on the interview committee! Admittedly, my interview
was less than stellar, but I have proven my value in the
other capacities to the district. I feel insulted and it's
like a slap in the face, not to mention it's a little
embarrassing! Am I being too sensitive or...? Thanks.
