I've lurked on this board for a while, actually ever since
I moved out here from New York. I have my bachelor's in
Social Studies Education from NYU, did my work experience
in New York City Public Schools as well as in suburban
schools in the NY Metro Area. After graduation, I moved
out to CO with degree in hand, work experience in resume,
and CDE certificate. It's been a year, and still I have no
teaching job.
I'm aware of the fact that there's hundreds of others just
like me, especially in SS/Humanities where candidates are a
dime a dozen. I've done a few substituting jobs here and
there, been to more fairs than I can count, and have had a
total of 3 interviews in one year. Disheartening, yes, but
it makes me question what I'm doing wrong.
Having the diverse background, having experience with both
urban and suburban students from many different
backgrounds, and using every methodology in the book I
thought would be enough for me to at least get phone
calls. It hasn't happened yet, and I'm wondering why.
Is it because SS teachers are a dime a dozen, and where I
got my degree from really doesn't mean anything? Is it
because I went someplace where I have very few networking
avenues? Am I saying the wrong things in the packets? Do
I follow up the correct way?

Hello all,
I'm notsure if this is the best chatboard for this but here
it goes: I'm in my mid 30s, and I've been in education off
and on since 1999. (Private schools--teaching technology
and as a TA in others). I have built my own web servers,
websites, and fileservers, and I'm into pure open source.
I have a M.A. in Educational Psychology, and even with my
background in education and interest in bridging
technology-education, I am not able to get anything above a
daycare worker position.
*Note: I"m not interested in becoming a teacher, just
someone who supports learning either through alternative
approaches to teaching or through technology.
What options for employment could you suggest?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
by This educational band is too cool to keep secret
Jun 26, 2008
I had to let my fellow teachers out there know about this band called Rockin' The Standards. This is the coolest educational music I've ever heard. My students love their music. I highly recommend their CD "Math" to anyone who deals with 2nd through 6th graders. Enjoy!

I had wanted to be a teacher since 1999, and after working in a (now closed) private school for 4 years as a technology/ece/before and after school teacher got a M.A. in education.
I have spent the last year and half looking for positions which will use my K+E in schools, After applying for 86 jobs in 3 school districts, McRel, assorted daycares, private and Charter Schools and getting only 3 interviews I have decided to try things a little differently. I am working in a daycare ATM.
I'm starting an educational business, and I am requesting information on learning systems. For example, I am looking at kumon for language. I will be buying these myself very soon.
What do you use for math and language in your classroom?
Thanks, Debian

Nevermind!
