Hi, I was wondering how easy it is getting a grade 5 or g teaching position in middle or southern VT. I have my VT teaching license and have HQT status with a level II license. I moved to NC to see what the warm weather was like and the summers are tooooooo hot for me and my family. They miss skiing and would love to restart the sport. I have 4 years teachng experience teaching in the beautiful state. Anyone know the best way to get hired? I've also applied to School Spring. Thanks for your help.
