by Mark

Feb 26, 2009

Hi Folks, I've been teaching for 14 years in NJ and am considering relocating to Northeast Indiana, the Butler area perhaps. I'm wondering if teachers are needed in Indiana or if the market is flooded. Also, those of you who are veterans, how do you feel about the educational system in the state in general?

Look on that DOE site under Technology Education. Computer instruction in Indiana is done by business teachers. CAD classes though, are done through Technology Ed.

Also, a vocational school for the schools of NE Indiana is located down the road on US 6 from Butler about 30 minutes in Kendallville. They may have a need for vocational instructors. Their site is [link removed]

If you go into Ohio, they have a vocational school in the other direction on US 6, also called Four County. It is about 30-45 minutes from Butler. Their site is [link removed]

The Ohio Schools are much smaller than IN schools, and often use the vocational school as their "vocational wing" so that is the best place to look there.

Good luck
