*Dar* ? re: teaching

hi there!

Hope all is well! We are considering moving back "home" and I was curious if there was a website where teaching jobs in the area are posted. I know further north (saratoga county) uses a site but I am looking for something (read: anything) so I'm happy to go to Albany/Troy/etc. especially since I have taught in inner city DC for a few years now. 

thanks for any help you can send my way :)

Re: *Dar* ? re: teaching

  • OLAS is the site that most districts use here to post openings.  I'd also check the local papers, like timesunion.com, to see if they have any listings.  I'm not sure how many there will be since we are cutting more and more teachers each year it seems.  Good luck!
  • OK that's the same one they use up near my parents, too.

    I know...it's a really tough situation since we want to move and buy a house but without a job for me, that makes things difficult.  My brother and his fiancee have been in the job hunt for almost 2 years now (but I think they are a bit too picky about locations) and I'm just happy to be anywhere. Sigh...in a perfect world, it wouldn't cost so much to live in DC and I'd move my whole family here. Jobs aplenty!

  • Have you considered Sylvan Learning? Let me know when you move up north, I would love to meet you!

    I have! I actually am a Title I reading teacher (small group instruction) so it seems like something I would enjoy but I just worry about the hours. I'm also thinking of taking the plunge and opening my business full time once we move - we'll see! :)

    and yes! I would love to meet you!

    A big 'ol teacher GTG lol.  It's been too long - what the wine tour with Jamie? Keep me posted on the job hunt.  I'm sure any school would be lucky to have you.  Oh and the business - is that the crafts that you make for weddings and stuff?  I wish you luck in whatever you do!

    haha! Yes, that was it! Years ago - goodness how it flies by!

    Thanks! I certainly have learned a lot here and would love to continue teaching but am ready to take the full time entrepreneurial plunge! :) Yes, wedding "details". 

    I'm sure I'll have some more questions as time goes on...everything is SO up in the air but we are looking! 

  • Yeah - crazy how time flies by.  The wine tour seemed like it was last summer.

     I wish I could quit my teaching job to work full time on quilting and such.  For now, it'll remain a hobby/side job - insurance and a regular paycheck are more important lol.  

     Ask away!  Good luck in your hunt/move.
