by Gretchen

Dec 1, 2009

I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any schools looking for a German teacher or that might be looking for one in the near future. Some days this seems like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack, but I'm still hoping...Any suggestions will be welcome!

CB Definitely sub, sub, sub, and sub! That is the only way to get your foot in the door. You could also start taking some grad classes. There you will meet many current teachers and administrators. Good luck

TAM Subbing is great, but only for the money. Yes, you'll meet teachers and administrators, but the likelihood of being hired is slim. They need subs more than teachers. I agree with moving south, but scope out the scene before you leave (cost analysis and stuff). Many school districts are not hiring.

They need subs more than teachers. I agree with moving south, but scope out the scene before you leave (cost analysis and stuff). Many school districts are not hiring. I graduated 7 years ago from Cleveland State (they year they laid off 1200 teachers). I went to job interviews all over the state, I even had a principal say he was reluctant to hire me because I had come so far for the interview, he didn't believe I was willing to move. I didn't even get a call back. Now I'm teaching my 6th year in GA, moved an extra 750 miles. Be willing to move and extra certifications never hurt!

HS Spanish position wanted

by Eloise

Dec 3, 2009

Hola! I am seeking a full time (not long-term sub or substitute) position in Spanish. Location: within 30 miles of Cleveland, Ohio. Many years of experience. Thanks in advance for any information. Muchas Gracias!

I am a special education teacher, and have a Masters in reading...9 years exp. What are my chances of getting a job in Lake County next year? I realize that I will most likely not be on a step based on my years of experience. I teach in GA now and we have been forced to take seven furlough days this year with more next year as well as a pay freeze....See More

Lake County

by what are my chances?

Dec 4, 2009

Southern transplant You definitely have an advantage with the special ed background and with the masters in reading. I would expect to be on a lower step but if that is not an issue then you MIGHT have a good chance. I have found that you need to get your name and face out there because you are competing with many, many people for a position. Some districts may rather...See More

Question about former Cleveland city official

by Kathy

Dec 16, 2009

I have a question for anyone who has lived in Cleveland, OH over the past 10-15 years regarding a high level person in the mayor's office. She's now the super in our district and is quite the personality...in a Cruella DeVille sort of a way. Kathy
