Hi Vicki ~ I'm not sure West Hartford will be any better, sad
to say. How committed are you to that area? If you are
willing to job hunt further to the east, say Vernon,
Manchester, and further east, you may have better luck. That
said, other that Vernon, Manchester, and Willimantic, many of
the districts are rural and small. Are you open to getting a
second certification? If you have a degree in special ed. or
possibly languages getting a job might be easier. Take a look
at this website: it is what many of the districts use to post
jobs in state: www.ctreap.com. On their you can sort by type
of position, town, etc. Checking that periodically might
give you an idea of where the jobs are located.

Also, as someone else suggested, start NOW getting information
on transferring your certification. CT is a hard state to
get re-certified in; as far as I know, they don't have
reciprocity with any other state; if they do it's just a few.

Good luck!

Jenn
