bmd51 you sound a little bitter. Being fresh out of school doesn't mean unqualified. Just because you are experinced in your field and have mastery of your skills doesn'[t necessarily mean you have the ablity to relay that skill to another. teaching is a skill in itself.
CAO Head Start is hiring teaching positions from temporary teacher 1 up to certified teachers for the Universal Pre-K's. Contact them at 70 Harvard Place, Buffalo NY 14209

I know anywhere up North it's almost impossible with no experience, but how about with 3-5 years of experience? Is a Masters a requirement in New York?

Bitter your right. I have a credential from NY and California, Student taught and worked at a school district.
Well, my mom just graduated from college, after going back for a career change. She was unable to get a job anywhere in Buffalo, not even the city schools. She got a job in Chataqua (sp?) county, though.
I'd say if you have experience that's a better shot but it's going to be really hard.
I don't understand at all. I have two friends, one went to school to teach, graduated last year and immediately got a long term sub and I dont know if she is permanent, but she is still teaching.
My other friend is finishing up her masters, she took time off after she graduated to have her children, and now due to timing has to get her hours in, (she never taught prior to this) - last year she immediately got a sub position then onto long term in the buffalo public school system. She then had some issues with that particular administration and left, she then went immediately to subbing in Williamsville and now has a long term sub job there. She should be getting her final certificate shortly and just needs to finish getting her hours in. These two women had no problems at all finding positions......
Please tell me what I am missing??? No long term experience, they are probably both considered straight out of college, even though one took a lot of time off. They are in their late thirties and I don't think they have any special connections.
I also had an employee of mine go to school and graduate and then straight for her masters, so she was maybe early to mid twenties when she also got a job. First she was at a private school, but within a year was at a public school, a little further out that where she lived. I am not sure what school she is in today, however I just don't get it. I hear stories about how hard it is to get a teachign job, yet the people I know haven't had that experience.......
