max Go to the Florida Department of Education web site, certification, and it will tell you If your certification has expired you most likely will have to take two 3 hour college courses and take the certification exam. Never wise to let the certificate expire...

anon ossibly. It used to be there were all of those positions because Clark County was growing by leaps and bounds.

Nevada isn't the boom state it used to be. It's very, very slowly trying to recover.

Washoe County up north always brags about having 300-400 positions annually, but the clear majority of those jobs are filled internally....See Moreossibly. It used to be there were all of those positions because Clark County was growing by leaps and bounds.

Lack of posts

Mar 15, 2014

This is an important election year in Florida; this board should be full of posts by our teachers! If we want to change the abysmal way we're treated in Florida, this is the year to start. Come on, teachers, let's make some noise!

Elementary Ed Teaching Job

by Monica

May 23, 2014

Hello everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to land a job in Pinellas or Hillsborough county. I have lived in Florida almost all my life but I have always taught in the private sector. I'm bilingual and I'm certified in both Early Childhood and Elementary Ed.

Thank you!

Monica :)

Broke FL Teacher Thanks, retired. At least we have nothing new to worry about with him. He's par for the course.

Indiana was at least smart enough to defend public education. Florida is not.
