I have retired from your neighboring state with 27 years
of teaching experience, and national board certification.
I have attended two job fairs, but I have not gotten a

Sasha,
Thank you for responding. I felt that the expense of hiring me was
the problem, but I never thought that a National Board teacher would
not be offered a job over an inexperienced teacher, especially since
LA has NB mentoring available. Oh well, any prospects?

A St. Tammany Teacher One way of getting into the system would be to serve as a substitute teacher. By doing so, administrators can get to know you. This way if an opening does present itself, you may be the teacher who they ask to fill the position. A few years I substituted for a month for a teacher and was offered a full-time position for the following year of school...See More
