Getting a teaching job in Northern Michigan is next to impossible. Really getting a job anywhere in Michigan is pretty hard. It is not going to get any better. There just aren't that many positions and a lot of applicants, especially in Elementary Ed.
Do NOT return to Michigan without a guaranteed job. You can apply from Texas and travel for an interview. If you move back and hope for the best, it will simply be a trip to unemployment and struggle.

...See MoreI'm at a loss! I am done with school for special education but the MTTC Cognitive Impairment is stopping me from continuing. I have taken it many times and I don't know what else to do.

I am trying to pass the MTTC English test and have been unsuccessful thus far. I feel like I am doing everything correctly, but obviously I need some tutoring! Please, if you can help email me at richelle.[email removed]!
In the past decade, I have been greatly moved and honored to win numerous awards and been nominated for more still. My curriculum night presentations are always standing room only, because I’m the funny teacher who is going to make that half hour come to life with hands-on science, leaving them running to administration to sing my praises. ... My efforts pay off in children happily learning at high levels. Like so many of us here, I’m a doer, always thinking what more I can bring to my school and my students. Two years ago, I was lauded for my students receiving extremely high state test scores.
So, I hope you will excuse me if I’m a little grumpy that my name will be printed in newspapers and posted online as an inferior teacher in need of serious improvement. [Click below to read the rest.]
