Sabrina,
My school has 35 different nationalities in it. You tell me if
we have a DESPERATE need for ESL (or ESOL as it is referred to
here.) Our district is EXTREMELY well funded, so they do not
hesitate to hire the best.
The whole state is desperate for esol teachers. Check
teachgeorgia.com for statewide listings, and check Gwinnett
County public schools for job listings under "careers". There
is a big job fair the first weekend in November here, and if I
can answer any more questions, please feel free to e-mail me at
georgiabadger@hotmail.com
Current pay from below has changed, it is now $41k-$87k, and
again this year we hired a record 1700 teachers with a 94 per
cent retention rate.
Gwinnett County is the district. We go by counties here.
Please let me know if I can help.
(If you swear allegiance to the Packers, I will work even
harder!!!) HA HA
