Post: Desperate to teachPosted by Brandee Concepcion on 7/23/07
Help....I can't seem to find a teaching position in
Kentucky. I moved to Fort Knox, KY over a year ago with my
husband who is a soldier in the Army (Fort Knox). I
recently graduated from the University of South Carolina
with a Masters in Education (May 2005). I am fully
credentialed to teach in this state. However, for the
second school year in a row, I am unable to even get an
interview for a teaching position. I don't know what I'm
doing wrong. Granted, I'm a recent graduate with no
certified experience, but weren't all teacher's and
principals in my place at one time? Could it be that
because I'm a soldier's wife the schools are afraid to hire
me for fear I will move soon? Do they only want teachers
who have graduated from colleges in thier state? If I just
knew what was standing in my way I may be able to conquer
this mountain that is standing in my way. All I've ever
wanted to do was be a teacher. I am substituting again
this year, but it's not the same. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
Signed,
Desperate to teach
