I have been receiving unemployment compensation since August. If I substitute teach, will that count against the amount of unemployment money I can earn? This is how it was several years ago. That is why I quit subbing. I have a lifetime certificate received 1978, from Central Methodist University, in Elementary Education.
Hello everyong, I have a Bachelors degree in Management and have been thinking about teaching. I was told that I could with any bachelors now in Springfield. Does anyone know anything about this?
I can't seem to find links to sub applications in SW Missouri and really don't want to drive a 50 mile radius for nothing. The ones I have found say they are in no need of subs. If you know of a school that does need subs, can you let me know. I'm only interested in a 50 mile radius from Springfield Mo. Thanks.

Try the little towns like Clever, Billings, Marionville, Mt. Vernon, etc.

I'm french and looking to help students with their french class. I'm living in Springfield,Mo. You can ask questions by sending email to the address : [email removed]
The seminar, staffed by teachers from North America and Europe, is attended by Haitian teachers who may never have had any teacher training. It covers teaching methods for core subjects, with a strong emphasis on respecting and protecting children’s rights and the importance of a teacher’s role in society.
Here is what some former Project Teach volunteers have said:
I was struck by the Haitian teachers’ level of enthusiasm. Every morning my “students” sang to me, giving me a sense of pure joy as we began our day. [D.R. 99, 01]
Participating in Project Teach has been the most important professional development experience of my teaching career. The Haitian teachers with whom I had the privilege to work reminded me why teaching is the most important job ever. [M.L. 06, 07]
One of the biggest realizations for the Haitian teachers was that learning could be fun. Project Teach’s approach was invaluable. [G.T. 06, 08]
I had never seen such poverty, but I had also never met people more generous or with a greater “joie de vivre” and profound belief in the future. The participants in my group had to travel many hours to reach the seminar site, but each day they arrived on time and smiling. [D.R. 99, 01]
An experience like this should be mandatory for every teacher from the North. [G.T. 06, 08]
On the first day, all my worries were replaced with energy fed by the Haitian teachers’ boundless enthusiasm. I quickly realized that their intellectual appetite and overwhelming need for support would easily fuel the energy I would need to teach in these difficult conditions. [L.M. 99, 03, 08]
The spirit of generosity shared by the Project Teach volunteers will stay with me forever. In life, one must seize the opportunity to give, participate, and open our hearts to others. For me, this is the cornerstone of Project Teach. [D.R. 99, 01]
Seeing first-hand the realities of the Haitian school system and the monumental daily obstacles our colleagues there face was truly humbling, yet the volunteers and the Haitian teachers shared an incredible sense of solidarity and passion for teaching. [M.L. 06, 07]
Project Teach’s success was visible daily. We could see it in the participants’ vigorous after-class discussions about how best to apply the techniques and strategies they were learning into their own teaching. We saw it when they made plans to spread the message about children’s rights – so central to Project Teach’s program and so controversial among them – to other colleagues. Upon returning to the site six months later, a participant stopped us to tell us how much the seminar had meant to him, how much more he now enjoys teaching, and how much happier his students are now that he has changed the way he runs the class. You couldn’t have a stronger incentive for continuing this work! [I.P. 98-08]
Come join this exciting project. This year we particularly need trainers in the methodology of teaching:
Second Language (English, French, Spanish) Math Social Studies, and Writing.

Parent support is typically good. Parents are mostly hard-working folks who want what is best for their kids.
So far, there are not as many jobs available in the area as usual, but I think this is typical across many areas. I included a link where most MO teaching jobs are posted, so you can see what is available.

Also, this link will take you to a map that shows which schools are in Taney Co. where Branson is located: [link removed]
That way you will know what districts to look up. You might want to look at Stone and Christian counties too.
(If you have a spouse that needs a job as well, please check out those employment sectors. There are lots of tourism related jobs, but typically they don't pay well. A common problem people have when they move here is that they have heard that jobs are abundant, but they don't realize that most of these are low-paying and/or seasonal.)
