My daughter graduated last year with degrees in education (certified K-9 in IL, K-6 in PA) and sociology. For the last year she has been teaching English in China, and will not get home until late August. Unfortunately, she signed a contract last year and cannot come home earlier.
She has a close friend who has offered her a room in her Manhattan apartment for a very low monthly rent and my daughter is now interested in teaching in a NYC private school. I think she's been turned off of teaching in public schools due to the NCLB rules and likes the teaching methods that many private schools encourage. She student taught at two publics and one private in IL and Missouri.
Anyone have any experience with getting hired at private schools in Manhattan? She knows that it would be to her advantage to be certified and I am not asking about that.
To teach at the elite private schools in NYC, one pretty much has to have a degree from a top college. Private schools don't too much care about the certification.
A top college with a major in education?? Daughter graduated from a small private LAC, with highest honors, but I don't think it's considered a "top" college.
