Teaching jobs in Columbia area?

by Lori Vanis

Jan 12, 2010

I am currently teaching in Florida but am seriously thinking about moving my family to South Carolina. I am interested in finding out if there are teaching positions available and the chances of being hired.

I know that things got tough last year in Florida for new teachers trying to get a job. I was just wondering if there was a similar problem in South Carolina.

Lori Vanis Will, Thanks for the information. After the inital response I realized that it could have been for anywhere in this country. Unfortunately as the budgets get tighter in every state it is education and teachers who seem to be feeling the effects.

I have actually done all the you suggested and hope that I will now be able to find a job in t...See More

Cindyjohnt@yahoo.com I am a teacher in Ohio and while things are tight, our union members, board members and and districts work together. The teachers have done a lot of extras for our district and we got a modest raise. I wanted to move to the sunny south but I can't afford too because I would have to take a huge pay cut-- 8000 a year & more for my husband's teach...See More

Will Rogers Cindy,

I am glad to hear your union reps and district do well together...it is the first I have heard. Having been directly involved with union negotiation (from both sides over the years), yours is one of the few I have heard with coperation! That is a VERY GOOD THING! :-)

How much of your pay cut goes to union dues? I believe in...See More

doh I doubt if you really did sit in a real union negotiation. Your short sightedness on union's is really evident in your post. Especially in teacher unions.

Will Rogers You may doubt whatever you wish.....I was there, and did so. It is because of what I saw and learned from both sides of the negotiation is why I feel the way I do about unions. "doh" why are you not brave enough to stand by your statements, but hide? That is a coward's way. A friend I worked with as a teacher now works for the AFL-CIO in union HQ. ...See MoreYou may doubt whatever you wish.....I was there, and did so.

That is a coward's way. A friend I worked with as a teacher now works for the AFL-CIO in union HQ. I turned down an oppotrunity to work for the unions in PA....wanted to go where I was needed. I bet if I saw your students test scores, they would be far below mine!

You have never done research, I can tell...and you represent EXACTLY the problem today in the USA...you don't do research...just go with the crowd.....sheep and cows do that to, al the way to the slaughter house.

You want to be a sheep, or do you want to actually DO SOMETHING other than snipe at others? Stand up and be counted, or get run over...your choice.
