Let’s Talk About…Finding A New Teaching Job General by Joel Wagner - July 2, 2014July 29, 20160 Talk amongst yourselves This weekend, let’s discuss finding a new teaching job. It’s summer (in the northern hemisphere) and many of us are out of school. With the summer also comes many newly certified teachers, as well as veterans who are seeking greener pastures. Lots of us are looking, even if we are not seriously considering moving. So let’s talk about it. I’m asking you to help out by contributing comments. I know, I know. Blogging has changed. People rarely ever leave comments any more, they just look for the like button or share it with their social media friends if it’s a great post. Well, let’s leave some comments and answer this question: What are some key elements to successfully finding a new teaching job? Joel WagnerJoel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.
