Posted by Liz on 5/07/08 Obviously, the responses I have been reading are in the States. Here in Ontario, Canada, we are now starting to face redundancies (layoffs) as enrolment is declining in the schools throughout the province. Less teachers are also retiring. The cycle has come full circle once again. When I first started there were no jobs to be had here also and our young teachers are facing the same prospects in 2008. Our board has not declared redundancies yet nor have they done their staffing for next year. It has been delayed for numerous reasons but I feel that it is because we are facing redundancies and there are some hard decisions that must be made. Our co-terminus board had 75 teachers declared redundant for next year. Luckily, I am coming near the end of my career (only 3 years to go, God willing, to retirement). I feel for those who are facing struggles to get a job -- I remember what it was like and it was no fun! Colleges, faculties of education require money so they are going to try and get as many bodies as they can and steer people towards a career in education whether jobs exist or not. There are also disciplines that will require teachers no matter what (Here in Ontario, music, Math and French Immersion have always needed teachers). If you want a career in education, the key is to be flexible if you can ( e.g.move to areas where there are shortages) -- I finally got a job because I had brushed up on my French and got the qualifications necessary to teach French in schools. At the time, French Immersion was a big drawing card and they couldn't get enough teachers. Hang in there if you can.
