I am a teacher moving to Perth. Does anyone have any information on how to get teaching jobs in WA?

We Answered:

You don't say where your from, are you from overseas or interstate?
The below is the Department of Education and Training (our official gov website). They have info for interstate teachers and overseas teachers, so it would be a good place to start. They also have a section for jobs, you can also look at our saturday paper, The West Australian, they have a section for teachers.

How hard is it to get a job as a high school history teacher in the Seattle, WA area?

We Answered:

Unfortunately, when the economy is bad.. teaching jobs are cut along with all the others..
However, if you haven't started a masters program yet, there is time for it to bounce back before you finish school.
What were your original plans when you went for your degree?
Teaching history is one of the hardest subjects to get into..
I don't know exactly why that is, but that's how it goes..
If you are unsure of the teaching thing.. I would recommend you substitute teach for awhile.. This is a good way to get your feet wet and see if you like teaching..
What this world doesn't need is a teacher who is there ...just because they couldn't think of anything better to do.. Blah!!
If you are up for the challenge.. I say go for it!!

Aussie jobs for teaching english overseas?

We Answered:

You don't need to speak a foreign language since instruction is all done in English. Usually you won't get your airfare paid for and the money you receive is enough to cover basic living expenses and accommodation and a few nights out.

Get yourself qualified and then find a job in the country of your choice and go there to work. It's as simple as that!

how do you get a teaching job in seattle wa?

We Answered:

It is unlikely that you will get a teaching job without already having the correct certification. In some places schools used to occasionally hire teachers who were not fully certified, but currently in the US many teachers are being laid off due to budget shortfalls, so with so many qualified teachers available they won't hire ones who aren't. If you are sure you want to teach, I'd begin working on the Master's right away (make sure it's one that will get you certified), and maybe the hiring situation will be better by the time you graduate.

For more info about what is required for certification, check out Washington's Dept of Education website.
