I am a Wisconsin dislocated corporate education executive with a background in high school teaching (English/history/social studies) who is looking into teaching jobs in three sun-belt states -- Florida, Texas, North Carolina -- for this fall. I do understand that recruiting, at least in Florida, is not what it was two or three years ago, but I am going to make my applications nonetheless and pursue this with vigor.

I hold a Florida Statement of Eligibility in English 6-12, and am about to have my credentials reviewed in Texas and North Carolina for temporary certificates. I do not anticipate major difficulties in receiving temporary certification in those states. I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching from Boston University (and a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from Yale) and formerly held English 7-12 certification in Connecticut. The paperwork in Florida was a breeze, happily.

I would welcome any tips from knowledgeable Floridians (teachers and others) about searching for high school jobs in the state. I prefer urban/suburban systems to rural systems, and I'm open to public, charter, and private schools. I have experience working with disadvantaged populations, although my honest preference is to work with (at least some) high achievers. I have very good classroom management skills and rapport with students.

I am registered with Teachers-Teachers.com, TopSchoolJobs.org, and EducationAmerica.net, and am actively "working" those websites. (A lot of Florida and North Carolina jobs drive to Teachers-Teachers, and some Florida jobs to EducationAmerica also; I see more Texas positions on TopSchoolJobs.)

All tips, advice, insights welcome, especially regarding the most promising districts.
