There is a great deal of talk about getting good people to
take up teaching, esp for the 'STEM' course areas. I have
seen where some rural areas are so desperate for teachers
in math and science that they allow their own students to
fill in the vacancies.
Estimates are that there will be very large gaps in the
available talent pool of certified teachers. Many
jurisdictions have got the message and are attracting
talented but non-certified professionals from gov't and
industry.

I am an excellent teacher in the fields of science(
physics, chem, Earth sciences) , math, and engineering.

Would I be able to teach in some area of Maine when I
relocate here???

Would greatly apprec comments by knowledgeble folks.
