Principals often like to hire people that are a known quantity because it’s safer——they know what they’re getting. One other concern that admin might have (they do on the interviews I’ve been in on but I don’t know if this is true where you are) is that there’s a difference between populations in public versus private schools. Admin here want to know that people they hire can work with SPED and ELL students.
So how to get noticed? Become a known person?
I don’t have a great solution and it may mean more work for you. Do the local schools offer an after school program? Can you volunteer to tutor in these programs? Explain you’d like to get your foot in the door. Maybe offer to do an after school club?
