Seeking a Teaching Job

[epchick]

So I was watching TXCN the other night (it's the "Texas News channel" lol) and apparently Houston wants to hire teachers from outside of the state. It doesn't matter that there are good teachers in Texas, but the Superintendent of HISD wants to get the "talent" from elsewhere.

So if you all are looking to move to Texas, you might want to apply in Houston.

Seriously? That's so weird.

Yep, and very. What he was essentially implying was that the best teachers, the ones who are the most innovative, come from outside of Texas. He did say that there were many qualified teachers in Texas, but he wanted "the best" and for that he would have to look outside of the state---like California (which is a state he mentioned).

I wonder if he knows that California teachers aren't certified in Texas. That is one state where the certifications don't cross over. But maybe one of the "better" teachers will tell him that....eventually.

I don't know anything about Texas but I find it hard to believe that there aren't innovative teachers who come from Texas?

Right? And I like to believe there are innovative teachers here, especially considering I like to consider myself innovative. But whatever they want to believe so that they can say they don't have to hire anyone from Texas.
