Posted by M.R. on 6/11/08
I echo the frustration. I have started to look for a job for next school year and have a M.Ed from the University of Florida, 3 years out-of-state teaching experience (all three years I sponsored NHD and my students were STATE CHAMPS all three years), have a ton of continuing ed under my belt etc...and I can't even get an interview at some schools here. When I do get an interview they are more interested in whether I can coach than whether I am a great social studies teacher - a very sorry thing to say about the education of the area. The competition seems to be in hiring the best coach (and hopefully and okay teacher - vs. a great teacher).
