Bob R/CA You posted to the main teachers chatboard. This sounds like a question specific to your state - see the link above for "chatboards" and find your state, and post it there, so people will know which state you mean.

Tim Wow, only $30,000? Most districts in FL now start closer to $40,000 or more. With that being said, there's a good wiki at: http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Net-Income to calculate net pay.

flacka Check state board of education website because they usually have the information there. Start preparing now in case there are courses or tests that you need to take. The process usually takes time so it's good that you are looking ahead and getting started now.

Tim Hello MsAMGreen,

I'm a teacher in Bradenton, FL. Like you, I was up north (Ohio) and wanted to move to Florida. But I did this almost 30 years ago and only wish I'd done it earlier before wasting 11 yrs up there. Florida is pretty good with reciprocity but there are tests/courses you may have to take depending on courses required in Canada...See MoreHello MsAMGreen,

I'm a teacher in Bradenton, FL. Like you, I was up north (Ohio) and wanted to move to Florida. But I did this almost 30 years ago and only wish I'd done it earlier before wasting 11 yrs up there. Florida is pretty good with reciprocity but there are tests/courses you may have to take depending on courses required in Canada. Many of your questions can be answered at the Florida Department of Education (fldoe.org).

As you may know, there is a teacher shortage and Florida is accepting almost any degree (not necessarily in education) as long as you agree to get certified in the subject area you are teaching. I doubt you would have any wait. Districts begin hiring as early as May for the following year and I know my district allows interviews via phone. In Florida, each county is a school district so choose your county wisely.

Due to the infinite wisdom of our legislature, there is no longer anything in Florida called tenure unless you were grandfathered in like myself. Districts are no longer permitted to have step raises. They are anti-teacher. I'm not trying to be negative but giving you a heads up on what to expect. Our district (Manatee County) is growing by something like 1,000 students per year and can't build schools fast enough leading to large class size. We do have a cap in all core classes but I teach an elective with 35 students.

Remember, you are moving to where many want to be but don't have what it takes to make the leap and we don't care how it's done up north. We do things different in Florida. We hate hearing, how it's done up north! I can't say that enough.

Good luck with this decision. The district you apply to will be able to answer many of your questions because they regularly hire teachers from out of state.

Tim
