    Post: Breaking into NYC Teaching: Charter vs. Public

    Currently weighing the options for a future move to teach in
    NYC. I'm a relatively new teacher (4 years exp.), and my
    dream has always been to teach in a diverse urban setting,
    preferably New York. I've received several offers from well
    known charter networks, but I've also filled out the public
    school application. I currently work in an out-of-state
    charter, but I know I'd eventually like to end up teaching
    in a public school.

    Biggest questions: Would it be easier to accept a charter
    job in the city first, then transition to a public school?
    Or should I stay where I am and wait for public school
    opportunities? The attrition rates at charters are
    notoriously high, does anyone know of teachers who have made
    a career out of working in charter schools?
