secretary

EMSB

I have taught young and old from elementary to university level: 

During the past year, I have served as supply/substitute teacher. Each morning, I would wake up to have to appear in a new school, a new class of students be it in the primary or secondary divisions, English or French. I approached each day with enthusiasm and curiosity. Each day ended with a satisfaction that I had gained as much from that experience as my students before me.
There was little  interaction with staff and administration, given the nature of the job but in almost every instance, the short term relationships which I struck were very cordial and interesting. In each school I attended I tried my best to meet the requirements of the curriculum and the expectations of the teachers who left work for me to cover with their students. That is one reason I kept getting referrals and building a "client base" of teachers who would call me back to their school whenever they would be away.
I enjoyed very moment of it.

HR offers big salary verbally then plays games. Watch out for this place. HR renegades on their deal, they request documents after you've been doing the job for 3 months. They take advantage of you. They never paid me the salary originally promised. They create new rules just to not pay you. I would NEVER recommend EMSB. Environment was also toxic, I left because someone felt it was okay to yell at me. 

At the EMSB I was fortunate to work at the schools where I was able to not only work with Administrators and Teachers but I was also involved with the Parents and Students.  This experience was very good but also extremely challenging because it allowed me to work with a large number of people with different needs.

At this present time, I work as a lunch supervisor, this job is part time and only 1 hour a day during the EMSB school year.
I have a class of 22 kids to look at , make sure they eat and enjoy their lunch hour safely.

Hardest part is work-life balance and kids as a contract teacher. The most enjoyable part is getting  to work with kids, and amazing colleagues. Lots of schools.

Great place to work but not challenging enough, staff is nice and considerate. Interesting part of job is organizing tasks that need to get done on a daily basis. Scheduling contractors and making sure the job is done properly.

Bad management overall.often no clear boundaries of the job position.Seniority is everything.Work.ethics not so high.Not encouraging environment.
No big room.for advancement.


Poor management throughout. Stressful environment with not many resources at your disposal. Many issues that need to be fixed from the top down. Colleagues are not always very helpful.

Good employee relations with management . Summer 4weeks off. Personal pension plan . Mentoring and helping other adults to excel in their future careers 

The short time I was there I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great people to work with. I wish I could have stayed there longer and had more design projects under my belt.
