I'm an elementary school teacher currently residing in Michigan.  This summer I am relocating to Pennsylvania.  More specifically to the Philadelphia area.  I am looking for a new job teaching either middle school or elementary school.  Aware of any districts worth contacting?

Montgomery and Bucks county schools are close to Philadelphia.  A good web site to find out information about individual school districts is www.schoolmatters.com.  You can't compare districts across states, but you could look up your current district in Michigan as well.

No.  Sorry.  The point is that you don't pay your taxes to that other district.  Here's hoping the closest school doesn't close!

Use eric as a search tool.  Check Educational Leadership and the Reading Teacher in a google search.  Good luck.  (Sounds like prime bedtime reading!)Look up NEA archives/local teachers union too.

I have two friends who are PAs in who live in Blue Bell, PA. If you are interested, I can connect you with them if you email me at pa2b32@yahoo.com. I don't know what their availability is, but they are good people. Good luck.

I am a 3rd grade teacher at an elementary school in California.  My class collects box tops and we would gladly accept your donation if you're still feeling generous.  We use our box tops for field trips or extra incentives for homework excellence.  Thanks for writing!

I suppose you leave there then ask your neighbours and just moved their or it the area near and convenient to you.\n\nSearch the Internet, go to any school near by and ask teachers principals or staff.

You are correct, there are many elementary teachers, but you can make yourself more employable if you get dual certification in both elementary and special ed. Teaching in grades 4-8 can be very rewarding. Junior high students are a lot of fun.

I have some friends moving there and she's been looking for a job.  There is supposedly a very large job market there.  Not only many jobs available, but many good jobs.\n\nIt's a great place for someone on the east coast looking for decent pay and willing to relocate!

I can't really understand your question as you have apparently left some words out.  But in the US there are many unfilled public school teaching positions.  So a certified teacher should have no problem finding a position, especially in larger cities...the problem comes in on trying to live on the meager wages offered.

The school district of philadelphia has some information and a directory (PDF) on their website.\n\nThe directory (PDF): http://www.phila.k12.pa.us/charter_schools/charter_directory_06-07.pdf\n\nThe school district's informational site: http://www.phila.k12.pa.us/charter_schools/\n\nAlso Temple University provides some information about charter school resources in Philadelphia: http://www.temple.edu/lss/cpie/cpiephilacharter.htm\n\nI hope this is helpful.

I'm enrolled in Penn Foster High School. They're a really great school. Teachers are available by phone or email if/when you have questions. You receive your textbooks through the mail and they're also available online in pdf format. You can take your exams online and over the telephone. Whatever you need, they've got it covered. Hope this helps. Best wishes!\n\nRachel  :)

Contact the schools that train teachers.  I would start with the International House network- contact the schools that train CELTA students.  Make sure your school is a good place to work or else your reputation will be ruined really quickly!  Everyone in the ESL world knows which schools have bad working conditions and bad salaries!

In FL, we have 2 paths for Elementary Education one is Elementary Education (K-5) the other is PreK Primary which is prek -3.  I think teaching is a "good" profession as it is high demand, you can move and easily find a job, there are a lot of opportunities for continuing growth, the kids are pretty cool and you get a lot of time off.  Now the bad, the salary is kind of crap, parents can be a pain in the butt,  no child left behind (not even the little kid in the back who sleeps everyday and is borderline abused and doesn't eat at home and has to stay up cleaning the house) ie you are responsible for the education of every kid in your room regardless of their home life (and some are pretty terrible).  I love teaching!  But it is NOT an easy job!!!  But can be very rewarding.

I lived in both. I enjoyed both. Do you want to be closer to NYC or Philly for down-time? They are good places to live if you want access to Urban benefits. NJ is slightly more expensive in almost everything than PA, but that's because it's closer to Manhattan and the shoreline. If you work in Philly, would you consider living in Philly?

I tried to find some good global comparisons.  What you can make somewhere else has a lot to do with what you do.\nSo, one of the easier ways to do it is through salary comparisons based on global location.  I've tried to put some reference material for you to look at.  It's important to have a base, so the salary chart for teachers is the place to start.  Then try and go comparisons from there.\n\nHere's an example from Greece (it's near Italy and part of the EU like Italy).  I did a convert from Euro to Dollars and reduced by the 15% and came up with $8.50 per hour.  In this case, they also provide housing.  \nJust a reference;  \nhttp://www.anglo-hellenic.com/teachers/remuneration.htm\n\nHere's a link for High School Teachers in the US:\nhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=High_School_Teacher/Salary/show_all\n\nHere's elementary teachers in the US:\nhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Elementary_School_Teacher/Salary/show_all\n\nUnrelated:  Interesting link on teaching in Italian Public Schools\nhttp://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0409/teaching_english_in_italy_public_school.shtml\n\nAnd another really good article on teaching in Italy, including tutoring rates:\nhttp://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0501/finding_work_teaching_english_in_italy.shtml\n\nThis looks like an excellent resource to find update on the market and jobs:\nhttp://www.teachitaly.com/\nhttp://www.teachitaly.com/joblist.htm - joblist but no salary :(\n\nSorry I couldn't find any listings that have positions with Salaries. \n\nHope some of this help.\n\nTake Care,\n\nTBG

Search for your teacher's name.  Put it in quotes.\nIt might also be helpful to include the school name in the search.
