Re: Where am I suppose to teacher at?
Posted by I understand on 8/05/07
I received my BS in elementary ed from BSU in 1991 and tried for
two years to get a job in Indy. I had excellent test scores, a
high GPA, and a portfolio ready to go, but I couldn't even get
an interview for a job back then. Frustrated, I left the field
of teaching and went into business. Over the years I moved out
of state, started a family, and became a stay at home mom. When
I was ready to return to work in 2004, I knew my heart was still
in teaching, so I obtained my certification here in WV and found
a job I love. If teaching is what you love, don't give up on it!
