Any teachers here?
My husband and I will (most likely) be moving to the NOVA area - not sure where yet, but so far we are looking at Woodbridge, Stafford, Fredericksburg, Bristow, Manassas, Triangle, and Dumfries. I am dual certified (in my state) in elementary and special education. I read that I could get a provisional certification in VA that lasts for 3 years in order for me to get my standard certification set (taking tests, paperwork, etc.). I just have to take the two Virginia tests (I already took the Praxis) so hopefully it won't take too long.
I already have an interim teaching position for half a year where I live now, but I'm looking for VA jobs in either elementary or special education. I doubt I will be able to find a job for September this last minute so I'm also interested in mid-year positions. Does anyone know what districts are hiring this late or is your district/school hiring? I'm open to both public and private schools. Thanks!
Re: Any teachers here?
I have a last minute interview and I'm hoping I get the job after the long drive and overnight hotel stay!!
To the poster who just got hired, did it seem to "bother" them that you weren't certified in VA yet? I guess not because you got the job, but I'm just curious how competitive it is to get a job in some areas that I mentioned. Thanks!
