Re: Teaching positions in Art in Ohio
Posted by Can't wait 2 create on 12/07/07
I got a job as an art teacher in NJ after I graduated from Miami University
in Ohio in 2004. After going on about 10 interviews that summer driving all
over NJ I was offered a job 5 minutes from my hometown. Talking to my art
teacher friends that currently teach in Ohio I can say that it is cheaper in
many ways. Yes the cost of living is less but at the same time art budgets
are terrible. My budget in NJ is about $6,000 a year for about 500 students.
In Ohio my friend has to travel between 3 schools and has a total budget of
$2,000 is split between all the schools. The support at my school is in so
many ways greater. Ohio is just a lot slower and in my opinion the value of
and for the arts in much of Ohio is still developing. There are some towns
that have great art depts. like Lakota east and west for example. I suggest
you just keep trying in NJ for a little while longer. I encountered all of
the excuses...we already had someone else in the district in mind (they tell
me this after my 3rd interview!) How many interviews have you been on?
