I just "retired" from teaching in Southern California. I
have my Highly Qualified HOUSSE paper, a sealed copy of my
transcripts from my University, two letters of
recommendation from former Administrators I worked with, my
ESL papers (plus I'm sort of billingual for Spanish.) And a
desire to work in Los Lunas or the surrounding area which
would be close to home for me. We moved here about a month
ago.
What would be a good time to start looking?
How do I go about looking in this state? Online? Where do I
go? I taught 1st and 2nd. grade for 20 years. I have worked
scripted programs (Direct Instruction and Open Court.)
If I decide to accept a contract and not sub, will I have
to take any exams or will my California Clear Credential
and CBEST be enough?
Thanks!

license a...See More

have a better chance at staying on next school year if you take ...See More

I agree to try to get hired now if you're in NM. The reason I said
March is that I didn't realize you were available now!

Some of the advertised positions *might* be with people like you
who don't have a license. Of course someone is teaching those
kids-- a long-term sub, or someone-- but it's advertised ...See More

I'm going to sub for Los Lunas, Peralta, Bosque Farms or Belen for
awhile to see what's going on. I really don't want to commute. I
was wondering....do they take out Social Security in New Mexico.
They don't in CA. but, I have worked in the private sector for 34
credits. (you need 40 to get Social Security)....See More
