Q: How do I answer have you ever been terminated on a teaching application? After being let-go.
At the end of the day in March, I was called to the office and notified that we have a “similar situation” referring to where I was falsely accused and the student recanted her statement in December. The next day I met with HR and the principal and was informed by HR that they had decided not to investigate the situation. I was then informed that I was being let go. I was never given any details other than “similar situation” referring to where I was falsely accused and the student recanted her statement. No other information was disclosed to me other than this was a “no fault termination”. This was a part-time certificated tutor position.
A:
If you do not truthfully answer yes, you set yourself up for bad consequences. A no fault termination is still a termination, so answering no to the question would be a lie. Be prepared to provide a good explanation for the termination when asked about it.
Good luck to you.
