20-year secondary science and STEM teacher looking to move down to Oahu in December. I know it is not the most idea time to head down there, but it cannot be helped. What are my chances of finding a position during that time and what can I expect in terms of compensation, incentives? Would it be wise for me to contact principals of specific schools in addition to completing the Hawaii Depts. online application (already completed)?

The goal is to allow students to experience a culture that is different from their own. If you are interested, you can email me at cinthiaureta7@gmail.com.
We are doing a Postcard Exchange. We really need a teacher from Hawaii to participate. If you would like to join, please email me your name, school, address, grade, and email.
...See MoreHawaii, Nebraska, Vermont, Wyoming - those are the states we need to complete our postcard exchange. You would send out 51 postcards - they can all be the same. You will receive 51 postcards - one from every state, Washington DC and Canada.
We are in our 16th year. Teachers rarely leave because we have such a great response rate!
I have an opening in a postcard exchange for a classroom from Hawaii. If anyone out there would like to join, email me at amandaandrews10@gmail.com and I can give you more information. Thanks!
my address: block6 Lot7 , Sta Monica Street, Eroreco Subdivision, Bacolod City, PHILIPPINES. I am requesting to exchange postcards of the beautiful state of Hawaii, if it's ok for all of you .
How is the pay scale for teachers constructed in Hawaii? I was on the phone with recruitment today. She was saying that you don't move up in pay each year. Rather your salary stays the same from year to year until the teachers union negotiates a mass pay raise for all teachers.
This can't be right. If that were the case, you would be hired in at about $41k for SATEP 6, and then never receive a pay raise until the next union contract negotiation. Every state I've seen has a year-by-year pay increase built into the guide. There is no way you start out at $41k and then stay there next year and the year afer.
How would anybody reach maximum? I can't seem to find *any* information on what a Hawaii teacher is paid beyond step 6. For example, what does a Hawaii teacher on step 10 earn?
All I could find was this: [link removed]
Underneath the chart, it says this: "The classes II, III and VII are entry levels on the Teacher Salary Schedule."
So where does the salary go after this? I've spent at least 6 hours trying to find this information out.

I lived in worked in Waianae for 6 years. I agree with Libbi above. It is the true Hawaiian experience. I plan to go back to Waianae. I love Waianae. That is my 2nd home. I plan to go back and live and work. It does have a horrible reputation. I did not have any bad experiences. I am white (haole) and I met the nicest people in Waianae.
