I am looking for a special ed teaching job in Oklahoma at the middle school level but will also teach in North texas....I have a counseling job in Oklahoma but the pay here is not good!!! Please let me know if you hear something...I have taught for 20 years and the last five years are in special education
As the school years open I must come to a decision about if I want to continue looking for a job. I have a BA in psyc, and Med in education. I moved away for two years and taught. Last summer I moved home to NH because I was home sick. I subbed in one school district and then took on a perm sub job for the last two months of the year. Unfortunately as most schools have already had thier first day I am sitting here without a teaching job. This summer I didn't even get a call for an interview. I have had a few principals to look my resume packet over and they can't find anything wrong with it. Could it be that I only have one current reference letter from last year? I will drop off my packets but many times don't get to see the principal. Hmmm . It really hurts that I can't get a teaching job. I put many hours into my classroom and will do anything for my students to be successful. I can't afford to sub anymore because I need a job that I can support myself. Do I have to leave the teaching profession in order to stay in the area? How do I get principals to realize how good I am with children, afterall you can't take them with you to the interview. Feedback please
You should try wearing some revealing clothing the next time you go for an interview or go to a school to meet a principal. You need to wear sexy cloths to set yourself apart from all the old teachers in the school. Try that and you should get some more interviews and probably a job.
Good luck!!!

Dave I believe you are being facetious, if not, revealing garments may not have affect on most of the double-digited morons in charge of hiring at most NH SAUs. Local hiring practices reign supreme with their cronyism and nepatism. Also most SAUs do not want to hire outside talent out of fear of outshining their own incompetent teaching talent. Normally you have to have an inside connection or begin as a substitute and ingratiate yourself with the inner sanctum of the school system.
Good luck to all in the Granite State, Alex Schlimiel

Have a third grade ELL student taking NECAPs this year. Hasn't taken ACCESS yet so needs to take NECAPS. Language level is high verbally but struggles in writing and reading. Does anyone know what type of accommodations your district provides to ELL? Untimed testing? Translator? New to Nh so don't know all the in's and out's Thanks
"Book teachers" simply teach directly from the book. All homework assignments, quizzes and tests are directly derived from the class text. Their knowledge in the subject matter is shamefully negligible. Past tests are shared between students for easy grades. Memorization for regurgitation is the key to passing their classes. Administration receives little or no student complaints for obvious reasons.
"Check collectors" are teachers who, out of incompetence and/or apathy, do the bare minimum and deprive any viable educational growth in their pupils. They are simply in the field for a paycheck, medical and retirement benefits, and the generous vacation periods. They are better off working in toll booths.
"Buddy teachers" lack the courage and competence to be effective instructors; therefore, out of a need for acceptance and job security, attempt to befriend their students. One should remember that education is not necessarily a popularity contest; earning favorable, respectful approval is more beneficial for all involved in the process as a natural byproduct and goal which mostly true educators earn. The buddy technique usually backfires with the lamentable result being disrespect from the pupils.
“Tyrant teachers” focus classroom time more on chastising and dishing out punitive measures than imparting fair and balanced discipline when appropriate. During free time and prep hours, tyrant teachers can be found patrolling the hallways and bathrooms seeking out deviants to be sent down to the office. Often they have old axes to grind from their disappointing days in grade school and attempt to make up for shortcomings in other areas. However, they do make assistant principals jobs easier.
"True educators" are a rare breed indeed and perhaps should be added to the endangered species list. These are learned, focused, and devoted educators who know their material, impart it in such a way as to inspire students to learn. They put time into their lesson plans and consider the group and the individual with the same sincere intent and regard. Enthusiasm and knowledge abound in the classroom instead of discontent, boredom, misbehavior and daytime snoozing as you have with the aforementioned. The harshest level they may practice in class is that of benevolent dictator.
Hello. I've just recently moved to NH, and I am currently in the Pharmaceutical feild; commuting from Goffstown to Brighton, MA everyday. This is just getting to be too much for me and it's very tiring. Well, the point is, I wanted to try to change careers and become a NH science teacher, which I think I would greatly enjoy doing. I have a BS in Biology, over 30 credit hrs in bio, and GPA is good. I already submitted an application for eligibily to teach in NH that I am waiting to get back. My questions are, is becoming a NH science teacher easy to get into? Are there jobs out there for this? Is someone likely to hire me full time though I don't have much experience? How is the salary for a first time teacher? I was told by NH dep. of Edu. that a school could potentially hire me, and through them I could get my certification while being mentored. Well, anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sara
1. Please contact the Hampshire Teachers Agency in Manchester, NH. They have a website and can help you out in your job search.
2. If you have found a school system to your liking, try being a FT substitute, if fiscally possible, and get to know the inner circle of core teachers who run the show. It is certainly not the higher ups in administration. The inner circle consists of natives from the town who have lived there all there lives and really do decide who gets hired and fired. Get accepted by them and you are in... a sad reality, but that's the way it goes in NH.
Good luck! Granite
