I am an ESL Teacher who has been teaching in Canada. I am now looking for a job in the Tacoma/Seattle area. I have my BA in Intercultural Studies and TESL Certification. If anyone has any helpful suggestions as to point me towards either ESL or a Multicultural Job I'd appreciate it.
Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the head of the education committee. His name is Kent Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public education. There is a lady running against him this year who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb 21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the primary. Those of us who care about our children are asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or email their friends and family to ask them to vote for Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool, straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington, Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a great rest-of-the-year!
I just wanted to let some of the people that are currently out of the Spokane area and want to come back here. When you apply this year put down a local address here, like a cousin's or brother's address in Spokane County. You may be qualified and have all these amazing endorsements but the schools usually dismiss the out-of-state applicants because there are SO many teacher that ARE in the area looking for the same jobs. Be sure that you can fly up for an interview.
Also, there are at least three colleges in Spokane continually churning out teachers. Very, very competitive job market!
There are a couple of new private schools, Southside Christian (K to 9) and Cornerstone Christian (K-12). Also there is St. Georges private school (K-12) (non religious) and Gonzaga Prep (Catholic) (9-12) in the area.
I am a special education teacher in New York who is looking to relocate to the Tri-Cities area. All of my experience with special education is teaching students with autism in a specialized school for autism. I was wondering if there are any schools that focus on autism or developmental disabilities in the area? Also how are the public schools...do they have any self-contained classes for autistic children. There are some public schools here that have that.

I am a first year music teacher from Eau Claire, WI relocating to Western Washington, and am looking for a instrumental music job. My fiancee and I have been eyeing the Bellingham area, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the market is like in NW Washington, or where else on the Western part of the state might be good to look.
I am a native of Washington State. I used to live in Bellingham. It is a great place and very pretty. Be sure to apply and go to a job fair in Washington. It can be hard to get a teaching job in Washington. Just be persistant. I am living in California now. Good Luck!!
