What kinds of teachers are needed most?
by Kristin
Jul 17, 2011
Teaching is my passion and life's path. I just need a venue! I have a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, a NJ certification and experience.

Miramira Welll, a secretary told me this summer that she got 2000 applicants for an elementary ed job.

It's tough out there. I know dozens of elementary ed teachers who have never gotten their first job.

I don't know why the colleges keep cranking them out.
