I graduated with a bachelor degree in Liberal Arts. My Major was political science with a minor in criminal justice. I have been a police officer for the past nine years and have receive extensive training in the field. I am looking to start a new career as I have a family now and have noticed that my current career does fit well with a "normal" family life. Will I be able to use my degree I earned for social studies, government, or history teaching? Thanks
There is always a need in NH for good teachers. I suggest you contact the department of education in Concord for all the details. You will get the straight scoop on what courses and or exams you will have to take first for certification and work.
Good luck, Sharon Saperstein

Why is it that when doctors have a lot of experience we respect them more with more pay and prestige, but when you are a teacher with a lot of experience and you want to find another job, you have too much experience and you are too expensive? Isn't experience valuable? I have applied for two jobs this spring that I was certainly qualified for and I didn't even get an interview. I want to keep growing. I don't want to be one of those teachers that just keeps doing the same thing and I can't grow staying where I am. Any suggestions, anyone? I am ready to leave the field, if I can't move on and continue to grow. Very Frustrated!!
I hear you - first they said I did not have enough experience, and then when I became experienced they told me it was the fit they were looking for. All I can say is hang in there, someone will hire you. You know as much as I do it is all about who you know, popularity, and money. Why pay someone a lot of money when they can get a teacher with a couple of year’s experience. You have to send out a lot of applications to get a few interviews. Most schools receive hundreds of applications and then decide on about 10 - 15 people they want to interview - that is unless they already know who they are going to hire. Then they do a couple of interviews for show.

Just trying to get a feel for the elementary education job situation in the Manchester/ Nashua area. I moved down to NC for two years from Boston to get some experience. It's been two years and i'm itching to move back to be closer to my family. It is very difficult to find a job. I have already emailed Hampshire with my resume. I am still gathering reference letters (the end of the year is hectic) and will be soon sending our resumes. I'll take any tips! Thanks
As part of a graduate research project, I need to gather data from current teachers. I’m researching the use of technology in the classroom and what factors affect it. If you could just take a few minutes to complete my survey, I’d appreciate it. The survey is online and has 15 questions.
Hello!! I just found this website. I don't know how many people are on here, but I thought I would come on over. I just got laid off from my private school teaching position (a HUGE decrease in enrollment :( ) And I would like to get into public school teaching. I have been looking for awhile bbut i have had no luck. I have experience and I am confidant I am a great teacher. Have I totally missed the ball here or will more positions open as the summer goes on?? Help? Advice? Job leads? (I am in the Manchester area) Hope to talk with you all more! ~ Kate
I am not in NH, but you may be interested in the following article. If you are an elementary teacher, you can click on questions and portfolio links in the article.
