Transplanted Californian!
by Vicki
Oct 18, 2009
Hi there, I am moving to CT this summer! Can't wait to get out of troubled California! I have 9 years of elementary teaching experience and I am looking for work in the Granby/Avon/Simsbury areas. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is difficult to land a position in these areas, and how soon I should apply for the 2010/11 school year. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Disgusted CT teacher in the know Those 3 districts are among the most sought after districts in the greater Hartford area, indeed they rival some of the rich Fairfield County towns for the most sought after in CT.

In a "normal" economy, Simsbury sometimes has openings because they pay very low for a "rich" school district. They are a strange district in my view. Look at t...See More

Math Teach Actually, what you see on Simsbury's website is an invitation to be an ERC sub. Granby and Avon have them too, in addition to East Granby. They will pay more for a certified teacher, regardless of endorsement area.

What's needed, in my opinion, is a more selective Praxis passing score. What we have now is a joke, with any AP calc student ...See More
