It does apply to Kauai also. The outer islands have had shortages, especially with NCLB. In addition to the increased requirements, there will be a substantial number of teachers retiring over the next few years. Unfortunately, what you don't hear... and this is just a heads up... the recruiting that goes on (bringing mainland teachers to the outer islands)does not inform those moving over that the position they fill may not be available the following year. In the last couple of school years, I have seen great teachers make a commitment to the DOE, move all of their belongings over, only to find that their job is guaranteed for one year. The next school year the jobs are again posted and the teacher can be bumped by someone from another school with seniority. This has happened to teachers and counselors. They are guaranteed a job, but not necessarily in the same school. So, in the case of one of our teachers, he made his decision based on the fact that he would be working at a particular school... he moved over. The second year, there was not a spot for him and he was offered a job that was on the other side of the island.\n\nBut if you travel lightly... and don't mind trying out a couple of new schools... Maui and Kauai are awesome places to live. If you have any questions about Kauai, I can be of assistance.

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.

Do a Google search "math proficiency 2004 online" and add your state or county name to it.   \n\nThere are a lot of hits, but you need to add your area to it to find the right one.\n\nGood luck!

School districts generally directly do their own hiring. I have never heard of a "placement" agency finding and hiring teachers and staff for a district. There are too many security risks involved.\n\nI would strongly recommend you ask about this "placement group" through the following links:\nhttp://www.sciway.net/org/busbbb.html\nhttp://www.myscschools.com/tracks/educators/\n\nSchool districts that need teacher generally advertise through reputable teaching newspapers and journals (e.g. Education Week, Mailbox, etc.), and Educator Job Fairs generally sponsored by teaching colleges. They also usually have direct district vacancy postings on their websites. Here's an example from a school district in South Carolina:\nhttp://www.lexington1.net/humanres/posting.htm\n\nThe South Carolina districts are listed here:\nhttp://www.myscschools.com/PublicInformation/schooldirectory.cfm\n\nOnce you get on a chosen district site, go to the "Departments" link and then "Human Resources." Look for a job listing link.\n\nYou need to be fully aware that districts take their students' safety very seriously. You will be submitted for a full and complete background check, including fingerprints, to both the local/state police and to the FBI. You will have to already have a teaching degree from an accredited college recognized within the United States, take the state required tests for teacher knowledge, and commit to ongoing professional development.\n\nGood luck!

Are you doing the honour maths or past papers? my advice to you is study and ask your teacher for some sample past exam papers and see what sort of question will be asks in next year paper. Best of luck in your exams.

I am guessing that you do not want to teach (Please check your spelling next time you post). \n\nYour mathematical training will come in handy if you pursue studies either in computer software or statistics, neither of which may require great language skills. Good luck!\n\ncc

If you are eligible for the green card lottery you may want to consider that route.  I have never been able to find a district that sponsors foreign teachers.  The only suggestion I can offer is to go state by state and contact school districts.  I have found that most of them respond, and try to be helpful.  Good luck with your search.

Yes, I am a Sub in NY for 2 years now (earned MS is '04). It's tough all over. Best thing to do in order to keep your head above water is to tutor privately and sub locally. Many schools dont think of the quality of education, they think of the quantity of the salary to be spent (unfortunately). I had my own experience where I was "over qualified" and they took a lesser degreed educator. Let's just say that after subbing for her class they got what they paid for ;-) . Keep your head up, you're not alone in this!

* Call your local public school headquarters, and ask if there is an "alternative certification" program where as long as you have a college degree, you can take classes/tests to get certified while you are already teaching and deduct the costs from your pay. If you teach a subject outside your credits, you may be required to earn additional course credits in that.\n* Also ask if there is another group that offers certification outside the school district.  In Houston it is called Region IV and\nit is better than the program offered by the public schools. Compare costs and requirements, and get recommendations from other teachers which one is better for your field of interest.\n* Can you contact Teach for America?  This nonprofit assigns college grads to teaching assignments to offset college loans.\n\nWhile you explore that, can you substitute teach? This may help you decide what subject, class size, demographics, etc. suit your teaching style, or which school administration you prefer.\n\nAs long as you have a college degree, you should be able to substitute teach or qualify for a program that will pay for your courses/certification out of your salary.  Good luck!

Go to the department of education for your state and look up the requirements.  With a master's, you can teach at a community college.  \n\nIf you want to teach K-12 you need a teaching credential.  If you didn't major in education and want to teach, you can do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program.  These are acclerated programs for working adults, they give you all the coursework you need to become certified.  You can also do that kind of program through your school district IF you are hired for a teaching job.  You can't do it through your district unless you are hired.  \n\nIt's a confusing process, isn't it?  Start with your DOE website, though.  Good luck!

Well, ur explanation is even more confusing than ur question.\nIf u want 2 teacher-bash, maybe u shd go back 2 YOUR school.\nAs 4 the next 2 answerers, I specifically mentioned, "in my country"\nIs it true that ppl in USA do not know that a world exists beyond east coast & west coast?\n=============================================================\nUr question is very confusing.\nAnyways, i'll like to tell u something.\nIn very youg age, in primary school, A CHILD SHOULD NOT BE FAILING.\nThe problem is either\n- Teacher DOES NOT teach\n- child DOES NOT UNDERSTAND the language of teaching *at all*\n- Mother is illiterate (yes, this is a valid & sadly, a common reason)\n- Child truly has a LEARNING DISORDER\nUnfortunately (In India) we do not have a good support system at all, & niether making the child repeat, nor promoting with grace helps, as in all the above cases, special attention is needed.\nPlz take ur case vey seriously.\nWhich country r u in?

First you should research and decide which state you would like to teach in.  Once you have decided that next chose the county you like the most.  Then google or should I say Yahoo the city's name and school disctricts.  The local school discricts should come up and you pick which on you like.  Next, click on Human resources on the disctrict page.  This will usually lead you to phone numbers of who to call with questions and available employment and qualifications.  In most of the states you are required to have a bachelors or even masters in sped.  I would just use the internet to browse different states and requirements.  \nbest of luck

Do you want to teach high school?\n\nDo you have a degree in education?\n\nIf you have a degree in education you need to determing which state in the US you want to teach in. You of course would need a work permit because you are from another country and a visa, etc.\n\nBut as far as teaching each state has different requirements. You would need to contact the state that you have interest in (board of education) and see which tests, etc. you need to take in order to get a license in that state.\n\nIf you want to teach at the university it is much simpler. You need at least a masters degree but it does not have to be in education. Simply contact a university that is hiring in your field and inquire. To teach at this level you would just need to get the work permits, etc. and would need to get a license for teaching.

I'm a teacher in CA, and unfortunately, CA does not have reciprocity with most states.  In other words, you will have to move here and go through the teacher ed program again.\n\nIf you have any background in special ed or secondary math and science, you can probably get an emergency credential and work while you are completing the program through night classes.  These are the areas where teachers are most in demand.

Hi! I am a high school math teacher, so I can answer some of your question, but not all.  Why? It depends on the state that you live in.  ALL states require a bachelors degree in math education.  This is four years of math classes, general ed classes, and teacher preparation classes.  The math classes you take would be a full calculus sequence (3 or 4 calc classes), linear and abstract algebra, geometry, analysis, and a mix of some others such as math history or number theory (again, depending on the college you go to). Your final semester would be student teaching, where you pay your college tuition, and then you are placed in a junior high or high school classroom to practice teaching. Some states (NY for example) require a masters degree, which is two more years of college.  But you can do that after you have started teaching. I live in Utah, and we only need the four year degree.  Hope this helps!
