Hi All,

This is my first year teaching 5th grade in NM, but I'm
looking to move to middle next year. I have a Level II
license and endorsements in reading/language arts, TESOL,
and social studies, but what I'd really like to teach is
math. At my elementary school, most of the teachers seem to
think that our K-8 license would allow us to teach any
subjects at the middle school, but I'm having trouble
finding clear answers from the State PED department.

I can show a pretty impressive record of improving my 5th
graders' math scores this year, but haven't taken a math
competency test. Any advice? If I qualify, I'd like to start
applying for mid-school math positions late this month.

Thanks,
Jenny
