James to Charles /blockquote>

Thanks for response Charles! Its been a couple of weeks since
I have checked the TN listing. The circus, unproductive
atmosphere does not surprise me. They are still in need of
ESL teachers but I have not heard a peep from them. Their
loss, not mine. I wish them all the best of luck in the world
cuz they...See More

as a counselor or an AP. I finsihed my doctorate in
leadership and have worked with special ed. I have applied
to Shelby county schools, was interviewed, but there are

school and substituting. I know that substituting is awful,
but it is a sure way to get in quick and also see which

How does the job market look for teachers in TN?

by Doc

Jul 10, 2007

I am currently a 2nd grade teacher in AZ. My fiance would
like to relocate next year to the Franklin area...he grew up
there. How is the job market out there?

tnteacher /blockquote>

For as long as I can remember, that area has been really
tough to get into. Once someone gets into a position they
like (or are liked in) they don't move. It's always been a
tough market in that whole county. I would start making
contacts early and keep an eye on the area / schools and
openings.

Insights on Hamblen county

by Scott

Jul 17, 2007

/blockquote>

I got hired in Hamblen county anyone have insight on what
it is like. All I know its the 4th smallest county in TN
yet represents 8% of TNs manufacturing base.

Could be a growing area, with the lakes region represented
in the area also.

Any Hamblen county teachers here?

Karyn /blockquote>

I am a former Hamblen County person. It is a great area. I
grew up there. Found a job in a neighboring county but have
worked in the system. Where will you be teaching and what
grade? Morristown is definately growing.

Does anyone know of some websites from others that use
the Scott Foresman series. I would love to get some
new ideas that others are doing with the series. ( esp.

I am also just starting the Scott Foresman Reading Series.
I really like it so far, and am finding it quite broad but am
beginning to get better at picking the most important areas
to teach. I would love to have some little " cute " ideas to
go with the stories. Any ideas? ON any of it!!!!!

have an inservice to tell us what to do, but I haven't
heard details yet. At the end of last year, they were
telling us we would have to have...See More
