There are tons and tons of elementary ed teachers in NH, but
ESL seems to be in demand. If I am not mistaken, you would
need to get on a registry with the state for ESL and you might
have to go from school to school. It is not uncommon for a
small school district to be in desperate need of an ESL
teacher, for just one student. So you might end up working here
and there.

The jobs for next year are starting to post now. There are a
lot of job fairs going on now, but not all the school having
these fairs actually have position opening (Londonderry).
There are a lot of budget cuts being made right now and a lot
of people being non-renewed. Mid April is usually the peak of
job listings and the NEA's job fair is May 2 in Concord.
Manchester does not hire until the summer because the city does
not do their budget until June.

Best of Luck
