I read two posts in Oct about substitute teaching and find you only need a 4 year degree. I am a college professor with a PhD but I am considering trying to sub 1-2 times a week (or of course, when I get called). How do I find out about opportunities? Is there some sort of list you can join. Do you contact the schools? I am in Manchester but can travel to other areas as well. As a scientist I could sub in a number of different subjects. Thanks for any and all advice.
Just the superintendant's office of the district(s) that you would like to sub in, and they will put you on thier sub list. You will need to be fingerprinted if you have not been already.

I currently live in New York, I finished my masters degree in general and special ed and I am working on my Masters in Literacy. Are schools in NH going to hire someone from NY? I've applied to about 10 schools and have heard nothing and I am getting discouraged....
I am going to try to stay postitive. This is what I have wanted to do my entire life so I am determined to do so. I will probably have to sub first, I don't mind. Thank you for your advice. :)On 5/11/06, sammy wrote: > In many of the SAUs in the Granite State, the Peter > Principal applies. You are going to face a great deal of > cronyism and nepotism as well.

By all means pursue a position. May I suggest you contact this outfit in Manchester, NH. It's a reputable teacher placement/employment agency for New England, especially New Hampshire.

I've applied for a teaching certification via ALTERNATIVE IV STATEMENT OF ELIGIBILITY in the Content area of English for Speakers of Other Languages. Fortunately, I was given a letter for this. My teacher number is 81278. Please help if I can be an asset to the schools: Nashua and/or Manchester. However, I speak Khmer (Cambodian) and English. Looking forward to hearing from you.
This is an invitation to participate in a totally free event that will take place on September 11 and that will be, I believe, of special interest to teachers and librarians. As we are a public library in Illinois with absolutely no budget to give this event the publicity it deserves, we are hoping you will share the information with anyone you think might have an interest.
On September 11, 2006, the Bensenville Community Public Library District (a Chicago suburb) will present Marion Blumenthal Lazan live and in real time to anyone with an Internet connection. To participate, you merely install a small program (it loads in about 20 seconds), turn on your computer's speakers, then sit back and listen to Marion. If you also have a microphone attached to your computer, you will be able to speak with her and ask questions directly.
As a girl, Marion and her family were trapped in Hitler's Germany, and they spent six and a half years in refugee and concentration camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany. They were in a cattle car on their way to Auschwitz when they were finally liberated by Russian troops.
Now in her seventies, Marion is devoting the rest of her life to telling her story. She knows that in a few years there will be no Holocaust survivors left, yet what happened must never be forgotten. Her story does not dwell on the horror of what she experienced. Instead, her message is one of hope and optimism in the face of extraordinary hardship. She implores us to be kind to one another, to embrace diversity, to always retain hope, to respect one another, and to never look away from intolerance and cruelty. Could there be a more powerful or appropriate message on September 11?
Marion will speak to the children of the world on September 11, 2006, at 2:00 p.m., eastern time. She will speak for about 30 minutes, and she will then take questions. She will be speaking in an online auditorium, and there is no charge whatsoever to listen. Our hope is that thousands of children and their teachers will spend that hour on September 11 with Marion. She will tell a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Your students (and you) will be mesmerized and inspired.
For more information, including directions for registering for the program and logging onto the website where the online auditorium is located, please just reply to this message to: [email removed]].
If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to me, Bill Erbes, [email removed].
We believe there will be much interest in this event if only we can get the word out that it will be happening. Any help you can offer in spreading the message will be most appreciated.
Thank you.
Bill Erbes Assistant Library Director Bensenville Community Public Library District 200 S. Church Road Bensenville, IL 60106 (630) 766-4642
I"m currently a high school physics and chemistry teacher in NJ contemplating a move further north to New Hampshire. What are the chances of getting a teaching position in New Hampshire? What are the good things about teaching in New Hampshire? What are the bad things?

I taught in Pennsylvania and Missouri and came here several years ago. NH is a great place to live and work and I really enjoy it. The biggest difference will be funding. The school districts are funded through local government. Schools develop budgets in October and November. School Boards and School Board Budget Committees beat it up for the next 3 few months. They pass the budget on to the public with a "yes" or "no" stamp. It is then presented at a town meeting where it is further discussed and may/may not be approved. Items over a certain dollar figure must be separate warrant articles. Items that pass through this process then move onto the ballot to be approved (or not) in March. It is a painful process and the result is not always in the best interest of the student. There is no personal income tax or sales tax in NH -- so the entire tax burden falls on the property tax. Go to [link removed].
On the good end -- certified science teachers are few and far between. It will be easy to find a job. The pay scale is about $30,000 on the low end (BA, step 1) to about $65,000 (MA+30, top step). Northern counties pay less than southern counties. Although schools are in accordance with NCLB -- there is not a huge initiative like in Massachusetts. Living costs are probably comparable to NJ -- 3 bedroom split-level (teacher house)would cost about $300,000 in Southern NH. Apartment rentals are about $1000/month.
Feel free to email me if you want to discuss further!
Yes, New Hampshire is a gorgeous state with four seasons and a treasure trove of hidden beauties from canada to mass. Working as a teacher here may not be as fruitful a venture.
In many of the SAUs in the Granite State, the Peter Principal applies. You are going to face a great deal of cronyism and nepotism as well. Human Resources departments take agonizingly long to get back to candidates especially "flatlanders" (those living outside NH). I often wonder what many of the employees in personnel do each day?
Once employed, it is more important to fit in with the "click" of veteran teachers in whatever school here that dictates the activities than being a highly competent instructor. Tenure is more based upon the ability to ingratiate yourself than with true talent. It is worse the farther north you go. Another frustrating aspect is the number of uncertified, incompetent instructors in NH that are working soley because of personal connections.
I do not want to discourage you, but what I have written above is what I have experienced personally in New Hampshire. Keep plugging away and give the heads of personnel a call. However, in this case, the squeaky wheel does not always get the grease.
Columnist compiles collection of works BOOKINGS: MARY O. BRADLEY Sunday, May 07, 2006 Bill Roddey of Lewistown has collected his humor columns, poetry and short stories in a 208-page book titled "Bald Ain't Beautiful" (PublishAmerica, $19.95).
Roddey drew upon a newspaper humor column he has written for more than 25 years. He also had been a stand-up comedian in New York and a television comedy writer.
----- Roddey would be an excellent reader and performer in classes and/or seminars. As would ohther members of the Almost Uptown Poetry Cartel's Flying Marmottes-- a performance/teaching group active in the mid-Altantic states as well as Vermont and other New England states.
I am well aware of this group's activities. They did a fine presentation for a PSPA gathering a while back. I understood they presented a literary performance seminar at at St. Joe's in Philly that went quite well. They host a variety of events throughout the mid-Atlantic States as well as providing a weekly performance venue for poets in the Harrisburg area. Marty Esworthy and Julia Tilley co-host, and promote, that event. Christine O'Leary-Rockey, recently nominated for a pushcart, acts as educational liason for the Poetry Cartel group. Christian Thiede, another group member, is teaching a writing class at the Harrisburg Art Association this Spring. At this point they have no publishing apparatus but many of the group, Thiede, Esworthy, Gene Hosey and O'Leary-Rockey are associated with or have been published in Lancaster's Iris G. Press.

Hi, I'm from Québec city and i'm looking for a teacher job in New Hampshire. I just finish my Bachelor in early education. I'm also able to teach french to middle school and high school students. I know that i need to be sponsor to work in the us. If there some people who knows how i can be sponsor by a school.
There is a surplus of teachers in the northeast, and many qualified US citizens from that part of the country relocate elsewhere to find work. Foreign language teaching positions are hard to fill in some districts. I would suggest you job hunt online first, and then contact the district to see if they would be willing to sponsor you. Please keep in mind that it is much easier to hire a US citizen than to sponsor a foreign national. Try these websites:
