How can I make myself a better candidate for a teaching job?

We Answered:

Getting that first teaching job isn't easy. Basically you have to throw a wide net and be willing to take a job that isn't your first choice. It may take some time, but there are jobs out there.

If I were you I would work on getting to know people whenever you sub. So when you go in, introduce yourself to the teachers there, even to the principal if you can. Let them know you are looking for a job. Don't be afraid to stick your neck out. Substituting also gives you a chance to really look at the values and needs of the school and hopefully will give you a leg up in the interview process.

Also you can take a college class without actually enrolling in a degree program. Taking one class will give you a chance to get to know your professor and hopefully a positive reference. Again, take the time to talk to the professor and let them know you are looking for a job. Most professors are more than willing to help you out in that area.

For the summer I would consider working at a summer camp. They are great because it is a temporary position and is an opportunity to work with kids. And this could be like a math camp or a writing camp or anything like that for kids to do. I think it is okay not to work with the age group you will be teaching - experience with kids is key.
You could also tutor, however that is usually not a summer only position.

Good luck, and don't doubt yourself. Teaching is not easy, but getting your foot in the door will open up a lot more opportunities. Spend some time while you search to think about what you really want to do. Maybe go and observe a class you would like to teach. Don't give up!

Getting a teaching job question?

We Answered:

It sounds like your passion is History, so don't go into special education. I am a special ed teacher and I can tell you unless you have a passion for working with these kids you will not be happy in what you do. I have to work with teachers who went into special ed for the job security or the extra pay ( a whopping 5%!) and they are not happy and just make things worse for the students. These kids need someone with the knowledge and the PATIENCE to deal with all their issues. Special Education encompasses a huge range of disabilities and problems. It's easy to burn out because these kids can be so demanding. I personally love my job and wouldn't think of doing anything else, but I do come home exhausted physically and emotionally. I also spend a huge amount of time trying to stay current with the new research and best practices for teaching these special kids. If history is what you enjoy, get your degree and relocate to where the jobs are. You'll be much happier in the long run.

Can Someone help me find a job teaching elementary school in Massachusetts? I'm certified! Thanks!?

We Answered:

One thing that might help you to know: a lot of the hiring is done during the summer, and especially at the end of the summer. Teachers who want to resign or go on leave have a deadline by which they must contact the school department, and they usually wait till the last minute to commit themselves. So don't panic that it's late August. It's a great time to apply.

Send a resume with cover letter to the school department personnel office in every town you would be willing to work. Make sure your documents are perfectly proofread and well-written. (Get help if necessary.) Whoever is looking through the resumes will notice neatness, grammar/spelling, correct but simple form, your degree, your certification, and the job category. Forget about gimmicks like color of paper and ink.

If you don't have time, this is optional: When I was applying, people seemed to notice when the inside address on the letter was individual to their system. E.g., Ms. Jane Johnson, Director of Personnel, _____ Public Schools," and so on. I was asked, "How did you happen to be applying to the Braintree Schools on x date?" as if it didn't occur to them that I was blanketing Southern Mass with my resume. But you might as well pick up the phone, call Braintree School Department, and ask, "May I have the name of the personnel director?" It only takes a minute.

When you say Boston and surrounding areas: seriously think about how far you would drive. A hour might be too much, but 45-50 minutes is really not that bad. Just be ready in the interview when they ask you how you're going to deal with the "long commute" to Sharon or Norwood.

Good luck!
