Posted by Jenn on 4/25/08
Hi ~ I'm a teacher in eastern CT; this board does NOT move
fast at all, so be patient! I highly suggest that if possible
you subscribe on-line to the Hartford Courant; at least the
Sunday edition. Many, many, many teaching jobs have alredy
been listed in it. Many schools will not advertise until
budgets have passed, usually late May, assuming they pass the
first time. The jobs that are listed now are ones that need
to be filled regardless of budgets passing and where the
school has already been notified. As far as job fairs, there
are some in Fairfield County, but I have never heard of any in
eastern/central CT in all my years teaching. The web site
ctreap.net is a good one; I know our school (Andover) has used
it in the past. Keep your options open - if you're an
elementary teacher expect to be one of 50-200 applicants for a
job. It's easier if you are dual-certified or are interested
in sped., math, science, technology, etc. Also, check with CT
SDE NOW about getting certified to teach in CT, if you are not
already; getting certified here is often harder than in other
states and you may find that you need a few extra classes or
tests first.
Good luck!
