I work at one in NYC if you want more info :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-hows-the-job-market#post-1576973 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:53:47 +0000 mrs. 64 1576973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends. From 2008-2012 they were cutting positions every year. This year my district has had a shortage and has had trouble finding classroom teachers and licensed long-term subs for things like maternity leaves. I know this is not the case in many districts though. Districts with better reputations for salaries/benefits/school climate are always more difficult to break into. As far as the specialized position it really depends on what it is and how many other people are certified to do it. Unfortunately specialized positions are always the first ones to be cut when there are funding issues. in my district many teachers with specialized degrees had to go back in the classroom (not sure if you will be licensed to do that). I teach elementary but there is always a higher demand for middle school teachers so it might be advantageous to be certified in those grades. I really can't say much about private schools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-hows-the-job-market#post-1576581 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 21:47:18 +0000 swedishfish 1576581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not good but it does depend on your certification area. Math and science are always in demand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-hows-the-job-market#post-1576533 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 21:22:11 +0000 regberadaisy 1576533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am considering pursuing an Avenue that will lead me to teach a specialized subject. But I'm wondering how the teaching job market is like right now. Particularly at the elementary or middle school level. </p> <p>You *always* hear about school funding cuts. So I'm just wondering for those in it. How is it right now? </p> <p>For the record I'm considering private sector because I think there'll be more interest in what I'm hoping to specialize in. </p>
