Private School Teachers Chatboard

by David Pennington

May 15, 2012

I am a 60 yr old out of work teacher. I have been trying to find employment for a year now and if I don't find a teaching job soon, I may lose my house, I have taught sciences for 30 years and have a highly qualified endorsement in biology, physical education, and physical science.

Maureen David, it's sad but true that no schools are hiring right now....the fact is, most schools are cutting teaching positions. If I were you I would be placed on a substitute list and never refuse when you are called. By being a reliable, highly qualified substitute you will be called frequently and may be offered a position if a teacher takes a leave ...See More

Haven't been to this board in a long time, I see it has slowed down greatly. That is sad! I have good news to share- 3 years ago we were close to closing down. This past year saw a 30% increase in enrollment. For the upcoming year, we have 3 classes already full. Things are looking up!

Maria I'm a recently retired teacher who misses teaching. My decision to retire was impulsive....I regret it. Just wondering what my chances are of getting a teaching job in a private school. (I am receiving a pension so I can no longer teach in the public school system). I have certification in elementary education (N-6) and in Reading (K-12). I have sp...See More

Any Private School Administrators Out There?

by Maria

May 26, 2012

I posted an inquiry a few days ago but haven't received any responses. I'm hoping that if I direct my question to administrators I may receive some responses. I am a recently retired reading teacher (literacy specialist). I am enjoying retirement but miss teaching. I feel that I retired too young and still have much to give as a teacher. I receive ...See More

Maria Thanks so much for your response! I would prefer full-time but certainly would consider part-time, as well. I would not expect a big salary. As an administrator of a private school, in what areas do you see your greatest teaching needs? What's your location? Thanks!

Terryleigh I work with a number of private school teachers at our school in PA. One teacher is a full time math teacher, another a HS English teacher and the other one substitutes for free whenever we need her.

One teacher is a full time math teacher, another a HS English teacher and the other one substitutes for free whenever we need her. She does not want any money so we always send her gas cards :) Each private school is different in their needs and it can vary from year to year. My retired/now working teachers love the fact they are still involved in education. They bring a lot of experience to our school and it is good for our teachers with only private school experience to have an understanding of what is happening in the public school. I am sure you will be a blessing to some school !!

by Robert Barnett

Jun 21, 2012

Dear Christian educator,

I am a retired math teacher, a Christian, and have been creating and publishing Bible math puzzles for about 12 years.

When solved, the puzzles yield an answer from the New Testament.

Most of my monthly recipients are day school Christian teachers in the USA and other countries. Also, recipient...See More

Loren Terryleigh,

Thank you for your advice. I will certainly take a look at what my past experience has to offer, and ask myself those questions.

Take care.

Private School or Charter School Teaching Position

by Ann

Jul 20, 2012

Hello - I'm seeking a part-time or full-time teaching position. I'm a retired teacher with many years experience. I have dual certifications in Elementary Education and Reading. I'm currently taking additional courses to become certified in Special Education, as well. My salary expectations would not be high since I receive a pension. I am located ...See More

Terryleigh Dear Ann,

Administrators as a whole are not going to go to a chatboard seeking a teacher - especially this board that services many different states. You need to look at the schools in your state and make some calls.

Good luck

by Betty

Aug 2, 2012

Hi all - I have a sketchy idea of what a charter school is but can anyone fill in the gaps? Also, can a teacher who receives a pension work in a charter school? Thanks!
