Post: Teaching in NM
Posted by Frank on 7/15/08
I am considering retiring to NM and becoming a teacher. I
have several questions:
Does NM count a JD as a Doctor's degree?
Does mathematical economics count as a mathematics course,
either outright, or depending on course description?
How many credits in education would I be required to
obtain in order to teach?
Could I receive some sort of credit for my military
experience as a trainer and a training officer?
Could I receive some sort of credit for my training and
education as a ski instructor, including Professional Ski
Instructors Eastern Division Master Teacher Certification?
Would I recieve any longevity credit for my experience as
an economist?
In addition to the qualification issues, the most
interesting question is where I should teach. I would
prefer to be near a public university, so Albuquerque
(UNM), and its suburbs, including Rio Rancho, Bernalillo,
Sandia Park and Los Lunas would be possible, as well as
Las Vegas (NMHU) and Las Cruces (NMSU). I would also like
to have access to skiing, but all of the above would seem
to be within two hours drive time from some ski area.
What school systems need teachers, what disciplines are
most in demand, and how difficult are their
administrations to work for?
