The answers to these questions are entirely dependant on location.
The reason for this is because the education field is not centralized
but instead a state and local level run profession. At present there
are pockets of decline but also pockets of increasing enrollment
within states but also nationally in the United States. The state you
live in determines licensing requirments (this can be very strict or
lenient). In my expierence I find it the most efficient to go
directly to the sources. The sources are as follows 1. The particular
states department of education (this is were you find the individual
school districts). 2. Go to the School districts website (if they
have one and many do these days). 3. On most districts websites they
have listings of which jobs they are interviewing for. Keep in mind
that due to many state regulations that these interviews may be mock
interviews just to appease the requirements. What I mean by this is
you might be going to an interview for which they already know whom
they wish to hire. The schools are often times bound by silly
requirement to post the position anyways and thus waste your most
absolute limited resource (time). The teaching market is currently
and projected to be strong in Special Education all grades, Math, and
Science at the High school level. Good resources are the National
Education Association (NEA), The US Dept of Education, the United
Federation of Teachers (UFT), and the individual states departments of
education. I have not found much use at all for the job listing
services for the field of teaching, it generally is an unsaid fact
that most schools expect you to seek them even though they may just be
wasting your time.
I hope this helps. |
