OK, so I'm an elementary education student also pursuing a license in mild interventions (special educ.) ... and here are the districts I'm considering applying to...
Gary Community School Corp.
Merrillville Schools
Hammond Schools
South Bend Community School Corp.
Does Merrillville need teachers at the elementary level/special ed? Are they hiring?
OK, I know people say Gary is bad... that's where I'm from, so I would want to "give back" to the community? How are the schools now (elem.)?
Are Hammond schools even hiring for elementary teachers (I will have a special education endorsement too).
South Bend? ... I don't know what to think... ?
What are the salaries like for brand new teachers....
From what I hear, Gary pays good... how good though, I wonder? (Although, that wouldn't be a job I'd be taking for the money, but more for the love.)
What are the beginning salaries like in those parts of northwest Indiana and South Bend (northern Indiana).
Any opinions/facts would help greatly! Thanks a ton!
