Not many like that out there. Factory worker, secretary (in some cases), bank teller, construction worker, . . . . I gueess there are a few, focus on jobs where you are paid hourly.

I haven't heard of any TFA candidates being hired here. I was talking to my principal the other day and he made it seem like they wouldn't even be considered for a position. I don't know if he meant district-wide.

What??? Maybe that's true only in very rural areas and in areas with a high percentage of Native Americans. I have never worked with or met a Teach for America teacher in my city after 21 years of teaching. New teachers get hired frequently at my school. Granted there are way more applicants than jobs, but there are jobs. At my school several brand new teachers have been hired over the past three years, but they all started out taking Educational Assistant jobs at the school for he first year. Then when the teaching openings occured, they got those positions.

south carolina IMO tends to do a lot of hiring annually. HOWEVER, be careful where you apply or where you accept. the more desirable districts are usually in or around greenville, columbia, charleston, rock hill (proximity to charlotte), and to a lesser extent the aiken / augusta area and myrtle beach.

if you look at SC stay as far away from the i-95 corridor as you can. low pay, low performing schools, some of the towns are down right dangerous. these are the places however that do tend to hire mor than any other district. primarily b/c their turnover is so high.


i got my job in greenville in 2004 over the phone. different times now though.

job renewals usually go out after spring break and are due by late april. so May for the majority of the state is when the jobs begin to pop up.

unlike NC, SC does not have a statewide salary schedule. however, most of the districts pay pretty much the same. the coastal districts tend to pay better though because the cost of living is higher.

anything east of columbia you need to stay away from. trust me.

Default Hiring teachers

I am in Denver, Colorado and have spent the last 2 years subbing in the hopes of getting a job to no avail. I am thinking about moving to Austin, TX to get a job. Does anyone know if they are hiring? Any other places I should try? I can't do rural. Thanks in advance.

If you think you will like Texas style education, I have heard of some hiring there.
