Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice about moving a new teaching career in New Jersey (no more than an hour and 20 minutes or so from NYC by public transit).

I'm about to complete my student teaching and M.Ed. in Maryland. I will be certified in pre-K to 12 ESL, but I will only teach elementary or middle, especially PK-2. I also have a bachelor's in linguistics. I've taken the Praxis and edTPA.
My current plan is to apply for a NJ CEAS this fall, teach in Maryland for a year, and then start job hunting in New Jersey for 2018-2019. I'm wondering how hard it is for an out-of-state candidate, with an M.Ed. and a year of paid teaching experience, to get a job teaching ESL. My understanding is that ESL has a teacher shortage, but I've looked on dozens of school district websites and none of them have openings as of now. I hear New Jersey is very competitive and I know they may turn up their noses at someone from another state without tenure. I also know many ESL programs in NJ are bilingual, which I cannot offer. Any tips or timeline? What would make it easier for me? How do I get my name out there?
To summarize:
What I Want
• Full-time ESL teaching job in NJ
• Elementary (strongly preferred) or middle
• Hudson/Bergen/Essex/Union/Middlesex County
What I Will Have
• M.Ed. Curriculum & Instruction from University of Maryland
• A year of teaching experience in Maryland
• NJ CEAS
• B.A. Linguistics
• Great edTPA and Praxis TESOL scores
• Some Spanish, if that matters
Will anyone want to hire me? How competitive am I? How can I make myself more attractive to school districts as an out-of-state candidate? Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated!
If you are interested in earning CEUs from Kean University as well as a $50 gift card apply ASAP for our half day workshop in Union NJ! more details here: [link removed])

Look no further than Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s 2017 Follow The Voyage program. This year, there will be cadets from Pennsville, Boonton Township, Woodstown, Hillsborough, Monroe Township, and Waldwick departing on the TS Kennedy.
Massachusetts Maritime Academy is a co-ed maritime college located in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts that challenges students to succeed by balancing a regimented lifestyle with a typical four-year college environment.
The Follow The Voyage program is an online blog documenting the experiences of Marine Engineering and Marine Transportation majors taking part in Sea Term, a six-week learning experience aboard the academy's training ship the TS Kennedy. This year, Sea Term 2017 will run from January 8th to February 19th. When your students Follow The Voyage, they’ll feel like they’re actually on the TS Kennedy as they witness the day-to-day life and learning of cadets. They’ll also experience the food, art, and culture of the TS Kennedy’s exciting ports of call - all without ever leaving the classroom.
This year, the 2017 Follow The Voyage program promises to be better than ever! Not only will the lessons include real-life application of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), there will also be engaging activities that incorporate language arts, social studies, and character development – many created exclusively for Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In the past, the Follow The Voyage program has been geared towards students in grades seven and eight. This year, we will also involve students in grade two thru six. Massachusetts Maritime Academy will provide log books and maps to participating classrooms free of charge. We have also added an exciting community service project that will parallel the humanitarian work of the Massachusetts Maritime cadets.
A Facebook page has been created just for educators who will be participating in the Follow The Voyage program. Log onto and “LIKE” 2017 Follow The Voyage For Educators. Don’t miss out on informative posts as we countdown to departure day! Stay up-to-date on the TS Kennedy’s upcoming ports of call and preview curriculum activities. When Sea Term 2017 is underway, the 2017 Follow The Voyage For Educators Facebook page will be a great place for you to post updates share photos of what is happening in your classroom.
Mrs. Nancy A. Franks has recently signed on as the 2017 Follow The Voyage Outreach Coordinator. Having just retired from the Plymouth Massachusetts Public School System, she brings thirty-year years of experience and a wealth of amazing ideas and enthusiasm to her new position.
Educators interested in participating in the Follow The Voyage program may contact Nancy at ftv@maritime.educ.
