Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum, but had a question about finding
positions when I come back to the States next year. I've
been teaching ESL in Korea for two years and will be coming
back next summer hoping to land a job in secondary social
studies while I complete my certification. I'm aiming for
the 2015-2016 school year. I currently have a B.A. in
History and an M.A. in Political Science.
I was thinking of doing the A+ Texas Teachers alternative
certification program, but have seen some mixed reviews
online about finding placement at schools. Ideally my wife
and I would live in Austin, but we're open to move other
places if necessary.
Can anyone offer advice on how difficult it might be to land
a job in social studies next year? How hard has it been for
new teachers this year? Is the probationary certificate
difficult to get? Also, if anyone else has gone through the
Texas Teachers program, I would love to hear some feedback
on that as well.
I know it's a lot of questions, but there is a lot I'm
trying to figure out over the next year before we come home.
Any and all advice is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Hudson
