Re: Teaching Jobs in Delaware
Posted by Jamie on 6/03/06
I saw that someone mentioned teachdelaware.com to you. That is a great site. Have you tried job fairs? You can often view online recruiting schedules. If a school at which you really wish to work is going to be recruiting at a fair near you, then I would suggest that you make up an impressive packet and meet their recruiters in person. (The alternative would be to hand-carry into the school, but this way you have a chance to talk to them one-one-one.) Several of the better schools absolutely recruit. Another responder mentioned Red Clay, Appoquinimink, and Caesar Rodney as good schools, and I KNOW that they all recruit. That is how I found my job. :) Oh! Something else that helped was that I emailed the head of personnel from each school with a powerful "cover letter" to explain how much I wanted to move to DE, how serious I was about relocating, how I'd love to work in a school with a great academic reputation, etc. I looked up AYP stats and really perused each school's website before I sent each email so that I could really personalize them. I had exceedingly favorable--and nearly instantaneous--responses. Some of the schools had an online application process, so this helped my name to be more recognizable in their databases. What do you have to lose? I wish you the best of luck if you're still hunting for a job. I saw that someone said that most schools don't hire until later in the summer, but I know that several have already had deadlines pass and already done their hiring. Several others have deadlines coming soon. I bet you've already applied, though. :)
