Relocating from CA to MD

by Brian

Apr 16, 2009

Hello,

My family and I are thinking about relocating back east and one of the areas we have in mind is MD. I am a social studies teacher with 10 years exp.

Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

There is a teacher in...See More

question to howard teacher A county that supports its teachers; that is definitely what I need. A few weeks ago HCPS had a sped job fair and I couldn't even register for it because it was completely filled up, so I kind of gave up in favor of other counties, figuring that HCPS has all the sped applicants it can possibly need, if not more. Is this assumption accurate? Do you ...See MoreA county that supports its teachers; that is definitely what I need.
