also sped certified Yes, I live in Maryland. I am hoping that my experience and contacts will result in a job.

If you read the job seekers chatboards, and keep up with the news, you know that tens of thousands of teachers are being laid off around the U.S., even as ed colleges are turning out new grads. Job fairs here are attended by thousands of people, some of whom have traveled from western PA or even Florida. At job fairs I have met experienced special ed teachers who have been laid off in Maryland.

understood I see what you are saying but I think it is still considered a critical needs area. I came from PA also.

also sped certified Thanks for the tip. I personally cannot relocate due to having joint custody of my children. but maybe it will be helpful to someone else.

I heard last night on the radio (NPR's "On Point") that some of the Great Plains states are doing well economically, have low housing costs,and have budget surpluses. I don't know if this translates into teaching jobs, but states that were mentioned were North Dakota, Indiana, and Iowa.
