School Districts are required to post positions even though they plan to hire internally or already have someone in mind.
Yes, this is true of other fields too. They post these jobs because they're required to and also as a safety net should someone leave unexpectedly (they can have a new hire ready to step in). HR will even interview applicants to get a feel for the marketplace. It's standard practice.
can you also tell me what the heck jokes like this have to do with the OP question? Is it just be silly day?? Like I feel about the hillbilles. Ohh I get it now. Its be silly day. Ok I hate hillbillies!!! IM IN!
jokes about teachers having relationships with students are very "in" now. they are appropriate pretty much anywhere.
But we warned, as others have said, the teaching field is saturated in NJ. I have been attempting to go alternate route for almost a year & unable to land any position other than substituting.

true story. its the law here. they post for positions that have all ready been filled. they have to. half the time they don't even review the applications received, since 99.9% the positions are all ready filled.
From what I have heard, math & science are the fields that are the most "in demand", if you define "in demand" as lowering your chances from one in a million to one in ten thousand. Unfortunately, its really more about who you know, not what you know. Teaching positions tend to go to friends & relatives of people on the boards, etc. Its very political.
I would recommend doing what I am doing, though as I said before, it has not lead to a permanent position just yet. Get your certifications, start subbing in a district you like, make a name & reputation for yourself, and get to know people. Then just sit and wait for something to open up after you have "paid your dues". Hopefully the pay off is worth it. Good luck!
I am considering getting a New Jersey teaching certification. The things I have in my favor are two certificates from two other states. The things I have in my favor are two certificates from two other states. What I'm not sure of is if I need to have additional testing or credentials. Does New Jersey offer an alternative certification program? I would like to get a position teaching in North Jersey and I am familiar with the area as I used to live in Newark, NJ. I have a job in DC as a coach at a university but it pays next to nothing. I was trying to go to Florida, but their school system has the problem of not hiring anyone right now, among others. So if I'm going to live somewhere cold it would be the NYC metro.
Well.......if you can draw that figure on the back of the matchbook cover exceptionally well you might be able to get a provisional art teaching certificate.....otherwise.....you have to go to college for 4 years like everyone else.
HELP!!!!!
I am currently getting my MA in Bilingual Childhood Education in NYC, almost finished (undergrad not in Education).
I need to know what are my options as far as getting certified in NJ (I am not certified in NY). I've searched NJ certification site and there is no information regarding my situation. I would like to know what is the easiest way of getting certified in NJ when you're out of state, and have not yet completed MA, and have no actual certification in any other states. Would getting certified in NY make the transition a bit easier? Is the alternative route practically going to school all over again? That doesn't seem the best option in my case since i'm already getting my MA.
Help please!!
I think Jersey City State is one of the major hubs for certification in NJ. Check them out. They can tell you which courses you need to take.
You'll probably need to take NJ Curriculum Frameworks courses, for a start.
