There is a reason there is a shortage in Hawaii. Have you
noticed like no teachers in Hawaii respond to this site -
Because they don't have the time! - They're teaching
(secondary) 6 subjects plus a citizenship class, no prep
period, no classroom assistants, and working a second job
just to make the bills. Other reasons: -We have ONE school
district for the entire state, however each school is on a
different calendar. -We have a very influential union that
everyone belongs to - like mandatory. And they do not
always represent the wishes of their members. -The cost of
living is higher than any other states, yes CA included.
("Paradise ain't cheap") -Out of state teachers usually
leave after 2 years due to financial strains. -The hiring
process is major bureaucracy - and do I dare say
discrimination? -The paperwork loaded on teachers is
outrages, nothing to do w/teaching, just support for DOE.
However there are no fees to apply.
I believe the #1 reason there is a shortage of teachers in
Hawaii is due to: -Hiring of new teachers (new to state and
teaching) only happens after the school year has started,
due to the union rules - all tenured teachers have up until
August to fill positions. Also the schools don't know how
many students will enroll at their schools so are LARGE for
the first two months until they can hire substitute
teachers (full-time) to take care of the overload.
However in my experience teachers are treated well by the
administration at their schools. Cost of health insurance
is covered somewhat for yourself, but for entire family
it's high. In general the weather and the Aloha spirit is a
plus. These two points almost outweighs the lack high cost
of living and lack of infrastructure. However like I said
above it's hard for a teacher to find the time to enjoy the
beaches or be an active member of your family.
Let's see also - A study completed a few years ago showed
that most teachers sent their kids to private schools.
If you can't get a regular teaching position there is
always a shortage of substitute teachers - you could even
work full-time as a substitute - however remember no
benefits.
FYI - I've lived here 20 years, teaching for 5. I drive a
'87 Honda for the gas mileage since I drive 90 miles RT to
teach. I'm now looking to move to another state - just too
expensive here and getting worst. The government just won't
take the steps for effeciy and effectiveness. They will
figure it out someday that they have to raise more funds to
support the government. i.e taxes and fees. I'm leaving
before I get more into debt.
Here's a web site to compare salaries to Hawaii's cost of
living - if you're interested:

I am searching for two retired school teachers, their names
are Charles and Virgina McCarthy. The last time that my
family knew they had taken teaching jobs in Hawaii, but
this was many years ago. My parents, Bill and Shirley
Schryver, are trying to find them, the two couples were
friends back in New York when I was young. I know they had
three sons, John, Patrick and I believe Charles Jr. Any
help finding them would be appreciated.
You can reach me at my email address or by phone. Home is
614-837-9222(after 4pm EST) and work is 614-692-8830 from
6am to 3pm EST.
Thanks

Environmental Education at Campanario Eco Lodge and
Biological Reserve
Environmental education for students of all ages !! !!
Proyecto Campanario's second mission is to promote
environmental education to all who spend time at
Campanario, both local and international visitors.
Campanario offers 4 basic programs to accommodate different
age levels, interests, and different lengths of stay.
Please select the program best suited for you:
Ecological Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family
group. Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or
middle and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student
Courses for university, high school, and middle school
students. Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs.
"Give the gift of a nature trek to your family." Ecological
Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family group.
Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or middle
and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student Courses
for university, high school, and middle school students.
Tropical Ecology Teachers? Programs.
"Get away for retreats and your own personal adventure."
Enviromentally minded individuals, families, groups of
friends, and corporate executives who want to plan their
vacations, annual get-togethers and retreats are welcome at
Campanario. You can spend your days hiking with our
naturalists, or you might also choose to go fishing,
kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling. Be sure to plan time
for just relaxing on the beach or in a hammock. Our goal is
to have you absorb as many of the sights, sounds, and
smells of the rainforest as possible. A minimum of a 4-day,
3-night trip is necessary, but a 6-day, 5-night trip is
recommended to more fully absorb the wonders of the area.
"Become involved in environmental education." Conservation
Camps are special programs we've designed for families and
middle and high school students. The camps are usually
scheduled during school vacations and last 6 days and 5
nights. They are limited in size to ensure adequate
instruction and supervision. Students of all ages
participate in extensive hikes and workshops in the
rainforest to appreciate all its wealth. Evening sessions
look into the history of the area and discuss deforestation
and other social pressures affecting the tropics.
Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs are designed to give
hands-on experience to the active instructor who wants
personal knowledge of the tropics to complement the area
which he or she teaches. This rigorous program, which runs
two weeks, includes most course materials, requires a small
amount of pre-program reading, and assumes a basic
understanding of biology on the part of the participant.
The program spends one week on site at the Proyecto
Campanario facilities in the rainforest and another week
traveling to different areas of Costa Rica for experience
in other life zones. It is hoped that you, as a teacher,
will take back to your students the understanding of the
urgency to work together to conserve what is left of the
tropical eco-systems.
Course Format
Two course formats are offered: a two week course and a 3
week course. Credit is offered at two levels (see below):
(1) Professional Development and (2) Degree Applicable.
Academic credit is given through Lewis and Clark College in
Oregon.
New Schedule 2005 offer in June, July and August, Programs
for Teachers Professional Development: Habitats and Culture
of Costa Rica and Rainforest Conservation Camp.

yah
there's way too many PRAXIS exams required
and teachers seem underpaid for sure
starting in 37k is kinda low
when compared to the cost of living
and taking 3 praxis exams + the basic skills test
that's like one too many
probably why not enough teachers apply
but stil living in hawaii...See More
