I have a BBA Management. I'm certified to teach in Texas. I've taught for 15 years. No one will talk to me! I've tried headhunters, careerbuilder, monster, etc.. I've been very successful with the state testing. 100% pass rate. I'm very organized.

Look to businesses that serve educators/education field. There's a great company - McGraw Hill. Educators make great salespeople! Good luck!

I was looking for an online school about a year ago and I really did a lot of research.  There are a number of "sketchy" schools that you should avoid.  The only one that I was really interested in was Kaplan University.  Kaplan is the company that is in charge of SAT testing and test prep.  It is a very reputable company.  If I do end up taking online classes I will take classes from Kaplan.

I received my BA from a university and my MBA from an on line program.  I went through the University of Phoenix flexnet program.  You go into class the first and last day of each course, and the rest is on line.  It is very demanding, and is tailored for people who work full time.  It was the only option for me and I recommend it to anyone who has the ability to keep themselves on task.  You are required to log in and participate in the on line classroom environment 5 days a week, and assignments must be posted on time to receive credit.\n\nNo one is there to remind you that you have to participate, and a lot of your work in as part of a learning team therefore you are accountable to your teammates on many of your assignments.\n\nI really enjoyed it and so did my classmates.  There was a group of us that went through the program together and graduated together.

I am a retired teacher. I think your best bet would be to go to a teacher's employment agency to see what they have to offer. Usually the one who hires pays the fee.\n\nAlso, you could look in the local papers, particularly on a Sunday where classified ads abound for teacher openings. Look under "Education" in the classifieds.\n\nFurther, The NEW YORK TIMES, Sunday edition is an excellent resource. It was a great help to me when I relocated once in my career.\n\nGood luck.

tests, books, coaches are all crap. it comes down to what you want to do. If you don't know, then you need to do some serious soul searching. if you can't figure out what you want, then you'll never find the right job for you. ask some friends what they do and see if that's something you'd like to do. either figure it out yourself or get a whole bunch of crappy jobs to figure outwhat you DON'T want.

TX has a great alternative certification program for people who didn't obtain their degrees in education, but rather in something else. Depending on what area you are in is what Education Service Center you would need to go through. When I got certified, I went through the center in Fort Worth, so that is the link I am attaching. Go to the menu on the left and try "Certification Programs." There will be a link on the site that will connect you to other ESC's across the state. Good luck!

Google is a wonderful idea. I would also have business cards printed with your certification or experience listed and the website. There are many adults that would be interested. When you meet people then pass out your card. Of course this would just be local, but could be a start.\n\nMail your cards to friends that live in other cities/states.\n\nWould you tutor high school students online? Put that on the card too! Take your card (a few of them) to the guidance counselors at local high schools. \n\nDo you have a web page that explains how people will learn? What is your curriculum? Will they speak? Will there be listening? If you do not have that, then perhaps make a flyer explaining it for when people inquire. Or make a web page and print it and keep it handy.\n\nYour friends can help. I am a Spanish teacher and hear people say all the time "I always wished that I could speak Spanish...". I would hand them your flyer, or your card with the web address.\n\nIf that does not get you where you want to be... try selling your course on ebay. List it as a course with a fixed "buy it now" price. When people sign up you can have a start date. It might just work...

I am currently looking for a new position in the Chicago to Madison, WI area, and I have to say this is a different approach to marketing yourself, but...  if you are not getting results why don't you try having a professional write your resume, normally the rates are discounted for graduates with little experience.  Or try building yourself a website and using some simple and free techniques to help employers find you, I have found that to be the most effective for myself.  Also, hook up with a recruiter (one that doesn't charge you but is paid by the client), be exclusive, and be patient.  Hope this helps.

I teach in New York which is a test-happy state.  I am sorry to say that what works best is doing lots and lots of practice tests.  It's a big waste of time but it does improve scores.

I tried this once, and it's a long process (which I didn't have patience for). Since it's federal, you need to take a test at a certain location in your area. But the first step should be checking out their website and looking at the positions they have available. Good Luck!

I have had so-so experiences. I am currently teaching undergraduates online and the pay is around 1300 for a nine week class that is capped at 20 students. At my school you can teach up to six classes at once. They pay you 66% of your pay in the beginning and the final 33% at the end after you have turned in grades. I am teaching people who are adult learners who have not been in school for a while. So at times it gets very frustrating. The biggest issue that I had was with plagiarism. I taught two classes recently and it ended up being around 20 hours per week on the computer doing work. Some places to go are the University of Phoenix Online, Kaplan University or Axia College which has been bought by UOP online. I think that if you are retired then you would be perfect for an online teacher position. I was working two jobs and trying to teach at the same time and it was rough for me. In addition, I am in an online MBA program. I hope this helps you out!

Not sure how much use this information will be to you but here goes!  My friend did his microsoft certifications through the open university.  His company funded part of his studying until it went bust too.  I have no idea of vacancies or the actual studying itself, only that my friend is now certified and he's not using it!  But that's his choice, he's contracting at BT!

Sounds to me you are a great candidate for teaching.  What type of bachelors do you hold?  Have you thought about alternative certification?  For instance, if your BA is in business you can enter into a "fast track" program that provides the opportunity to earn a teaching certificate.  I am not a big fan of the program due to the absence of specialized educational/psychology /childhood development classes.  However, quality teachers are badly needed all over the country and the alternative certification program helps to meet that need.   By the way, if you land a teaching position and at the same time, return to college to earn your Masters, look into funding programs that will help or pay all of your tuition.  \n\nI am a teacher.  I wish you all the best.

Your school should have a contract with someone already. Usually it is with either Herff Jones or Jostens. You might try them on your own. I'm SURE they have websites.

Check to see if they are accredited, first off.  If they aren't, don't even bother wasting your money because the degree will not be recognized.  Be very careful of any online school.  The are propriatary (for-profit) and most just want your money and don't offer quality in return.  Look to see if your local state college or university offers an MBA.  Many schools tailor those programs to working adults so people can maintain a job while earning an MBA.  \n\nGood luck!
