Where are the jobs?

Remember that parents are continuing to have children and there will always be a need for teachers. There may not be many classroom jobs available for the upcoming year; however, there are many opportunities available in the area of education. Don't forget about the following areas:
1) Substitute teaching
2) Tutoring
3) Textbook companies have a wide array of jobs open for educators
4) Online schools

If you are seeking a classroom job for the 2009-2010 school year be aware that districts must first place all of their current teachers prior to being able to hire from outside their district. That being said, it will probably be May or June before districts know what positions they will have open. Then it will be June or July when interviews will be scheduled. Fully certified teachers will be getting the first opportunities to interview for job openings. Once those interviews and hires have been completed, any openings that are left may be open for interviews to students who have completed a four year degree and all GACE tests as well as being in a certification program such as our NGCSU Post Baccalaureate Program.
