Apr 18, 2010

My husband was transfered to the General Motors plant in Ohio, and I am looking for a middle school English job in the area. The plant is located in Lordstown. I have heard from numerous people that the teaching jobs are hard to come by in Ohio. Is this true? I am currently teaching in Baltimore, Maryland at a blue ribbon school.

Ohio jobs The market is super competitive here. If you are willing to work in an urban school like Warren or Youngstown, you will have a better chance of securing a position. You have to apply to each individual school you are interested in. There are educational service centers in Trumbull and Mahoning counties, but they don't cover every school in the coun...See More

Any Phys Ed Jobs in Columbus OH

by Kate

Apr 19, 2010

I have my teaching license and live in Columbus, OH. I have been subbing in the area for the past two years. It seems that every school wants experience but no one will give me a chance. Other than subbing and going to the schools web sites, are there any other ways to look for a job?

Apr 19, 2010

With the summer approaching, many teachers (myself included) are looking for convenient ways to knock out professional development requirements.

pksped I highly (from the rooftop highly) recommend Barbara Gruber Courses for Teachers. It's way cheaper than anything from the University of Phoenix (quality courses, I'm sure). These are only for teachers seeking professional development hours; they are not designed for degree-seeking students. You pay $99 for the course (Barbara Gruber's fee), then yo...See More

From Wauseon It's not a total surprise that Spanish teacher is leaving. Her classes were always crazy. I guess the party was over with the new principal.

Also...I am concerned (as an elective "easy to cut program"), that if I get cut and am unable to find another job....that the benefits I'm counting on will not be there. I have been t...See More

How is your district union voting on RttT??

My union voted no...primarily because we are not in favor of merit pay. The HS and MS passed it...but all the elementary teachers voted...and all said no.

no memebership vote We did not have the membership vote. Exec decided to go with the MOU from round one. The questions and issues were so complicated the first time around, it was not going to be productive to involve everyone. Schools can always pull out, which our superintendent is willing to do. However, if Ohio wins money, it will not be new or additional money. I...See More

extended deadline ODE has exteneded the deadline to May 14th (from May 4th). Why? Ohio has only 239 MOUs. About half are public and half are charter/community. First round had 266 public and 214 community schools. Hmmmm.

In round one, 266 of 614 districts signed on along with with 214 of 320 community schools
