Thanks for the word of encouragement! I'm still hanging in there- subbing has taught me a lot. I just want my own classroom! The school district I sub for is building a new elementary school to open next school year, so I'm hopeful.
I've already decided that I'm either going to get a job here or relocate to NC next school year. I can't do another year w/o health insurance. I'll definitely keep everyone posted!
To answer your question Orchid:
There is a problem w/ teachers getting jobs in Ohio for 2 main reasons:
1. The population is shrinking, so there are less jobs and students.
2. The licensing for elementary educators is narrow. I'm licensed PK-3 , which is basically K-3 since preschool jobs pay close to minimum wage. I really wish that the certification was K-5 here, because I would teach fourth or fifth grade in a heartbeat!
