What would be my chances of finding a teaching job considering I have a licence to teach high school English, elementary grades 1-8, and special education 1-8 (specific learning disabled)? I also have a master of science degree with a focus on elementary reading and literacy. I would like to be close to Portland.

The special ed endorsement will help....depends on the climate but it's better this year than it's been in the past few.

Many Oregon Schools may cancel the reading programs. They are dropping the requirements from the SAT's now.

If you are bilingual there are jobs, but you will bump English only speakers and your peers may not treat you very well.

I am a teacher here too. I have been subbing and looking to get hired with Evergreen Public Schools across the river in Vancouver, WA. Washington pays more, has librarians, PE teachers, art teachers, drama, and better benefits. Check it out!

But they don't seem to have any jobs either.

Schools don't list jobs for the next year in March. PPS doesn't list them until the summer for teachers who aren't in the system already as an example. So it's not possible to say who does or does not have jobs right now.

Most are under contract and they can't just come and go, so don't expect much until contract time.
