Hi,

I graduated with a BS in mathematics, with minors in
chemistry, economics, and theology. I have been private
tutoring for 5 years as well. I also have been a head swim
coach for two years, and assitant volleyball, softball and
track coaches as well. Currently I am in graduate school at
for environmental and natural resource economics, but I
have decided a PhD is not for me. Is there anyway that I
can get hired without having a state license and then get
my license after I begin to teach? I would really like to
coach somewhere along with teachinig too if possible. Does
anyone have any suggestions on what is the best way for me
to find a job. I would be willing to teach public/ private,
city/rural, and basically any of the following fields:
math, science, economics or religion. Thank you for any
help or guidance you can give me!

Are you interested in teaching in massachusetts?
It is very easy to get certified there - just pay the test
fees and pass the state tests (MTEL) - there is a general
communication/literacy type of test, and also tests in
whichever subject areas you wish to teach.
That's it. You'll get a preliminary license...See More

To be hired in a public school in ri you must be certified
or the school dept must get you an emergency certification.
You can not obtain an emergency certification without going
through a school department.

To hire an uncertified person (and get that person an
emergency certificate) a public school...See More

chatboard now and then. You could have a job in Houston,
Texas in a split second. We are absolutely desperate for
Math and Science teachers on the secondary level. Both the
state legislature and the school districts are giving nice
bonuses and stipen...See More

Thank you all so much for your help. I just moved to RI (from Ohio) to attend
graduate school, so I am not partial in any way to this area. I will look into Mass, as
well as Houston. Any specific school districts or programs you guys could tell me
about would be great. I know this all probably seems very rushed ...See More

In RI check the big city (Providence, Pawtucket, Warwick,
Woonsocket) districts. You'll need to contact the central office
of each district individually.

Call the placement office at Rhode Island College and find out
if there are any job fairs that they are aware of.
