My husband and I raised our family in Wyoming and
Colorado, then moved to Hawaii for five years to work at a
very nice little charter school. We love the people and
the challenge, but have family members with health issues
we need to be closer to. We are considering the Northeast
because we like smaller schools, smaller classes, and
enjoy using the curricula that seem to be pretty popular
in the Northeast--Responsive Classroom, Guided Reading,
Six Traits Writing, FOSS science, Everyday Math, Bridges
Math, Four Blocks approach to Literacy, etc.
Like Wyoming, we noticed that New Hampshire has, for the
moment, no state income tax, so that is a bit of a plus,
but not as important as working within a school culture
where we feel we could have a positive impact.
My husband is currently the director of our little charter
school and is looking for an administrative position (he
also served as a science coordinator for several years in
a large district in Wyoming.)
I am a primary teacher with Masters in Reading and several
years of teaching experience looking for a first, second,
or first/second combined position.
