Currently, I have a California special education credential and even with a special education teaching credential, having a hard time finding a full time job. Does anyone know which websites I can visit to see what the teaching opportunities are in other states? If I can find a job outside of CA, I might be able to covince my husband to move out of California since his business is very slow right now. Thanks for any info.
My wife is a special ed. teacher at this non-traditional school here in Upstate NY:Hillside Family of Agencies She works at the Fingerlakes Campus in Auburn. Here's the employment site: Employment Listings (http://www.hillside.com/Join/employment.htm - broken link)

The pay here in NYC is pretty high, but it's getting increasingly harder to get a job. Probably still easier than most areas. You have to start in neighborhoods like the south Bronx (like I did) that have a high-turnover, but some schools in bad areas can be good. Your certification is a shortage area here in the city, so you could probably get a job.
A few years ago it was said that anyone with a pulse could get a job teaching in NYC. It's way different now, but like I said, it's very possible you could land one since you have a special ed certification.
I know that northern VA and NC are hiring a lot. Especially NC with the increasing population and building schools.
Maryland teaching jobs are generally listed by the individual counties. I'll ask my daughter (a Maryland English teacher) tomorrow what info/sites might be useful to you if you're interested.
