Hello,

I plan to move to Nashville this Fall 2009. I would like to
pursue a teaching career. I do NOT have a teaching
certificate, and I don't mind teaching in high needs areas.

I would like to know what is the best way to get hired.
Should I:

a) become a substitute and find a open position, then apply
for the alternative certificate.

b) Apply right away for a teaching position without my
certificate and hope they will give me the alternative
certificate.

or c) Apply for a program like Teach Nashville and get my
teaching certificate first before I apply for a teaching
position

I am also planning on getting my master's in education.
Should I do this before I get the teaching position or
after? Is there reimbursement programs for career advancing
degrees?

How is the Nashville city job market? Are there many
teaching positions available? What is the pay per hour for
subs in Nashville?

Thank you so much!

Jessica
