He will need a content area (math, science, history)to be seriously considered for that age group. Otherwise principals can only have him teach 6th. He would have to earn a new certification to work past 6th grade. In fact many districts are looking for a content area degree from all teachers now. Highly qualified teachers are what districts are looking for...Masters/praxis/cross certifications all make the district look stronger... How ever BA's come on the cheap. In this economy, it might be an advantage. He can attend classes to earn a masters while working. As far as using websites goes...I'd stick to the old fashioned pounding pavement. Most jobs that may become available are not posted. Teachers who take leaves for example usually do not tell until the last minute. The district will pull from candidates on file. He can be hired up to a couple of days after the school year begins in any inner-city type population in CT. They get many last minute students. He will have to go to the board of Ed of each district, go through a group interview. Shop himself out to all principals by dropping by and leaving resumes at each school. Many require a demo lesson. They might have him do one in a summer school class. There are universities that offer intern programs to get masters degrees. You are basically an indentured servant to a district assigned to a school to work where ever needed for the year. (An in house substitute so to speak.) The district pays his tuition while he takes classes in the evening. He will have to work like a dog and find a part time job to eat! It can be done with a supportive family. Since I am sure he has student taught already he will need to point that out to the university. Good luck!
