Hi: Don't worry. You are in one of the best counties in the state. Substitute teachers are hired by county. I have been a substitute in Baltimore County for two years while attending graduate school for my MA for teaching ECE and I have not heard of any stories like that.

Today I received a phone call from staffing and recruitment stating that one of their reps would like to interview me for an ESL position. Thankfully the call ended up on my answering machine. Please fill me in about the school system, ESL, or anything else you would like to add.
Hubby did not get renewed at the last minute for a southern DE teaching position. (he was temporary last year) He teaches chem and physics. does anyone know of Salisbury or other teaching jobs in southern DE or nearby? I'm networking on his behalf.

My family and I are thinking of moving to Maryland and I currently teach in PA (15 years) and want to know how difficult it is to get certified in MD and the status of getting a job here. I am certified Special Ed., Elementary Ed. and Reading Specialist. Any ideas on things I should look into doing?
MaryI have been trying since March to get a job in MD. I also have Elem. Ed. and Special Ed. I have applied to Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery, Calvert, Carroll, Harford, and Queen Anne's. I have had no interviews except for Harford which is very far for me to commute to! It is very frustrating. :(

I'm looking into moving to MD from CA and getting my credentials through the resident teacher program in Prince George's county, but my mother is afraid for my safety. She's heard some scary things about some of the schools there. Anyone know if there are some good high schools to teach in in Prince George?
The Prince George's resident teacher program was well run this year, and they stuck to their word and got everyone in the program a job this year...even though it meant putting some teachers in co-teaching positions until a regular position opened up. PG likes its Resident Teachers and treats them well.

Also, the few "desirable" schools have extremely little turnover and they get tons of applicants every year. Consequently, they have their pick of the best and most experienced teachers to select from. It's extremely competitive and tough to get jobs in those few schools. If you do stay in the program the required time and transfer after the agreed upon time, getting a job in a "safer" and more desirable school will be very difficult. Going to another county (making you part of the county's high turnover)then may be more preferable.
