Remember when you consider private schools... pension
Be very careful to check on pay scales.
My husband works in a charter high school. They do not have to follow a standard pay scale of any kind - nor do teachers have to be certified. He was able to negotiate a decent salary since he specializes in AP math classes, but other teachers on his staff are paid 1000's below public school teachers in the surrounding area.
I applied to about 25 districts before I got my first interview. I wish I had considered private and charter schools sooner since it seems they often have quicker hiring timelines.
I can totally relate! I’ve applied to about 18 districts so far and have a similar goal of expanding my search. It’s exhausting, but I’m hoping something clicks soon. I’m also looking into charter and private schools to widen the pool. Have you found any particular districts more promising than others?
It is relatively easy to get a job teaching in Texas. I left teaching mid-January after just over 13 years in the classroom. I haven't felt this happy in years!
