teaching question?
Hi there - I am looking into information about teaching careers in your state. My husband and I are both high school teachers and are looking to move to the U.S from Canada. I am trying to gauge what the teaching climate is like in your state (i.e., jobs, relative pay, etc?) Or, if you have any recommendations/advice on any states that are especially good for teachers, please let me know! I thought a few years back that I heard of some states that were offering signing bonuses to teachers who committed to 2 years? Anything like that still available? TIA
Re: teaching question?
Hm, I know there is a need for math/science at the Indianapolis Public School system, but you really need to know what you are getting into when teaching for them. I believe there is a fellow program with IPS that will pay you to get your master's while you teach there, but don't hold me to it.
I don't know much about teaching at the h.s. level, but I would suspect there would be some job opps depending on your field near Chicago, around Indy, around Louisville and around Cinci.
I haven't heard of signing bonuses, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some offer somewhere.
Most schools are looking for math and science teachers because those are the hardest to fill.
I do know that around Indianapolis competition this year has been tough and there have been very job postings. Several school are taking their stimulus money and offering 2 year contracts. There have been hundreds of applications for 1 or 2 positions.
If you work inner city or high needs areas the US government has programs for student loan forgiveness.
The schools around Las Vegas, Nevada were offering signing bonus 2 years ago to move their and work for them.
If you are interested in Indy specifically you may also want to look into the private schools.. a few off the top of my head (you can google)...
- Park Tudor
- The International School
- Bishop Chatard
- Roncolli
- St. Richards.
Good luck!
