On May 19th I had an interview in NOrthern New Hampshire. They told me about 2 weeks and they will have made their minds up. I called last week and they told me they need another week but they will let me know. My question is should I call again or wait.
I was called by the Head of the math department and he was the one that told me one more week(One week would be today)! Don't know what to do becuase I do not want to frustrate him by calling.

Make sure to let them know you were told they would have an answer by June 1st. Good Luck and Best Wishes.

Getting my Graduate degree in double program for Waldorf and N.H. teaching certification. Any idea if/what the N.H. certificate is accepted in? Thanks, Marcia
I am a college graduate with a BA in History. I would like to relocate within a year and a half to NH from Orlando. Are there any districts in particular that frequently hire teachers? I have no real preferences as to where I would live. Also, I will have a year of teaching experience plus six months as a long-term substitute under my belt. Will this be enough? I'm not sure how easy alternative III is to actually complete. Any feedback?
PS- I've read that response that seems to keep on being copied over and over again about the real state of things regarding the hiring of teachers..does anyone else agree?
The Seacoast area is great. Dover is always hiring and there are many other high schools in the area (portsmouth, durham/lee/madbury) plus private schools.

check that out...if it does not come thru, go to educationamerica.net Click below on "all categories" then click on NH... you will see the latest jobs and some or most are in southern NH
Also, go to... teachers to teachers.com another good site. If you register with either site, they will notify you of jobs in your field on a daily basis.

This is not right! I went on an interview in May and they told me they would have an answer in two weeks. Everything seemed good, well that's what I thought. After the two weeks, I call and they tell me another week, another week goes by and I call again and they tell me another week, well I finally get an answer and they tell me that I do not move onto the next round! Why they could not tell me this earlier, I do not know.
Their reason was they had a lightning round and that is what hurt my chances.
So if anyone needs a math teacher please let me know. You probably already have my resume but I will apply again.
Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching in New Hampshire. The hiring process is tilted in favor of locals and is loaded with cronyism, nepotism and incompetence. The next time you apply to a specific SAU, staple a check for $500 dollars to it with a promise for more loot to come if you get a job, har, har, har!!!
Honestly, I am sorry to hear about your dilemma. Just keep plugging away and you might hit pay dirt.

Hi, I've been a voice teacher for about 8 years and have never gone up on m rates. I currently charge $15 a half hour (this is in sw nh). Was wondering what other voice teachers around my area are charging.
That's what I paid in upstate NY with my voice teacher. Sounds reasonable to me.

Recently I called a school about a Math position and they told me it was still available. I emailed it to the director of the human resources. Now I didn't send letters of recommendation. The very next day I receive an email for an interview. Is this a good sign or is this usual?
Kevin: Please contact the Hampshire Teacher Agency in Manchester, NH. Great employment agency for NH and New England for teaching positions. Also try: teachers to teachers.com
Nashua is having budgetary problems so I have read. I know Manchester is usually looking but who wants to work there unless need be. Try teaching opportunities in the North Country but be prepared for more bureaucratic pettiness and local preference.
Good luck, Sammy Johnson

Kevin: At this point in the game you have to really suck up to the powers that be, especially if you get hired. Once employed, seek out the circle of local teachers who basically run the school and befriend them. They will be the ones who really decide if your contract is renewed or you are terminated.

Anybody looking for a middle school math teacher? I am a New Hampshire native that has been teaching math in Phoenix, Arizona for the last four years. I'm planning my move back home, but have been unsuccessful in the job hunt so far. I'm familiar with the NH system of the more people you know the better off you are, so I am trying to make as many connections as possible. I would appreciate any information/leads. Thanks, Jen
Hi everyone. My name is Alexis and I'm going to be moving to Weare, NH within the next couple of weeks. I am looking forward to it very much. I am going to be going for my masters in the spring for education. Next week I will be graduating from Bridgewater State College in Ma with my Bachelors in Fine Arts. I was wondering if anyone has any information on any art assistant jobs that will be opening up for Fall 2006. For the summer I will be getting a job somewhere but I really want to get involved with the community there. If anyone knows anything about art assistant jobs opening up for the highschool level can you please let me know? Thanks
Hi, I just found this site! It's wonderful! I've worked in industry for many years. My job is going away and I'm thinking of getting into education. I got certified in technology a few years back and it's time to put it to work. How do you teachers like teaching? Have any of you transferred into teaching from another profession? Has it been a good experience? ANy advice?

Teaching is wonderful! So many teachers and students need good technology savvy people in schools so if you like kids they will love you in return and teaching will be very rewarding. Give it a try.
I was called by the Head of the math department and he was the one
that told me one more week(One week would be today)! Don't know
what to do becuase I do not want to frustrate him by calling.
