Teaching the GED Program
by nycsub
Aug 27, 2009
For over 10 years I've been trying to land a part-time job as a GED Teacher but to no avail. When I call the NYC Department of Education requesting information, no one has any answers for me. I don't know what to do. A GED Teacher prepares adult learners and/or high school drop outs for the GED exam. The GED is a test for those who never completed high school and want a second chance at life. Does anyone where where I can apply for such jobs? Also, what are the basic requirements to becoming a GED Teacher?

My Educational Background:

B.A. Sociology A.A. Liberal Arts and Sciences
