Am going back to school after having worked in corporate
hell for many years and have recently decided to begin a
second career. I have a degree in English and am working
towards certification to teach in Secondary Ed. Any ideas
on how dificult it may be to begin a teaching career in RI
being a new teacher who is not exactly a kid....not an
artifact yet but seeing it from less of a distance than
I'd like. I would welcome any opinions, advice, comments
etc.

It is VERY hard to become a secondary English teacher. Way
more teachers than jobs. You need to add to your
certifications with middle school endorsement or Special Ed.
Too many schools pumping out too many teachers.

While it is possible to get a secondary English teaching job
(my district hired one this year) you should add Middle
School endorsement to your certification.

I think you are both absolutly correct and I certainly intend
to get the middle school endorsement. I would like to
eventually work with "at risk" kids. Kids who are in danger
of dropping out, behavior issue etc. but not special ed....I
think you need to be a special kind of person to do that
work. Thank...See More
