Hello – I am a leaving ALT and I will not have any contact with my successor. For what ever reason our BOE has decided not to share our information with each other . I am not certain of the reasons but IMO it’s a huge red flag. Knowing what I know and what I’d like to pass off to my successor – The start up is hard and expensive AND you’ll be subleasing. My “choice” ( and I use that world lightly ) of housing is a huge factor as to why I am leaving and having to break a subleasing contract set me back a bit.
Personally I think the information is not being passed along incase we are in anyway discouraging a successor and it’d be more work to have a wave of alternates for the BOE. I have (and they will have ) Co- Alts at the same school willing to hold items i’d like to leave behind for free but with zero contact we are asked just to toss these items. I think it’s really blindsiding them.
Our Prefectural ALTS have been in contact with their successors for a few weeks, our municipal have not.
If you haven’t heard from your predecessor but know where you are going I suggest trying to network now or soon.
