I am not sure about the other metro counties but DeKalb still has lots of teacher postings on its job board. I know for a fact that my principal is looking for an art teacher for my school. Check out the DeKalb website.

Getting Job without Degree

by MK

Aug 8, 2013

Does anyone know if I could get a job as a media specialist without having a media specialist degree? Would taking and passing the certification test be enough? How likely would it be for me to get a position? I have over 10 years of teaching experience in the English/Language Arts (M.Ed. degree) field. Shouldn't there be some similarities to an ex...See More

SpEd Teach I'm going to guess no. A masters degree is the minimum for a librarian, either in a public library or in a public school. If there were a shortage, they might waive that, but those jobs are few and far between. I actually started a library science degree three years ago, wanting to be a university librarian, and when the economy crashed, I knew tha...See More

Dr. John Trotter Dear Retired:

I will have our technical folks to look at this. We have had some issues in the past...dealing with the settings, etc., which will cause a service like McAfee to put up this warning. I have a very tough anti virus company and it cause no delay of getting on the MACE website. I think that it is something peculiar with McAfee b...See More

by anonymo

If a teacher reitré with 25 years of service in georgia, may they retire midyear without jeopardizing their teaching certificate, or is it a breach of contract?

Brenda I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I think the approach to this could make the difference. I expect that if you went into a school year anticipating leaving at mid- year AND you had told your administration of your intent, it would be do-able. However, if you surprise them with the news in December, it could easily be treated as breach of contract. <...See More

What can you NOT USE your sick days for?

Can they be used to help son or daughter after the birth of a grandchild?

Brenda Where I've taught, sick leave days could be used for immediate family care. To be realistic, though, I think a lot of it depends on where you work, how supportive your school and district administration is, and how honest you want to be when you need to be absent. I think your reason for using leave time is valid.
