[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any other certs?  What is your personal background?

Social study teachers don’t usually have as much of a shortage.  And the hiring can favor diversity to match the student population.

A lot of the hiring often happens after July 15th when schools are looking for last minute hiring.

If you are interested in technology there are often jobs for technology electives in the high schools.  You just need to pass the praxis.

Unfortunately, all I've got are my secondary Social Studies and Literacy/Reading certs, and am a dime a dozen generic white dude history teacher. I chose not to go for SpEd for my masters to "avoid being shoehorned" into it--a pretty dumb decision in retrospect. Here I was hoping teaching in a high needs NYC middle school would be enough to create some draw but so far, nothing.

Oof, waiting until after July 15th would instill some serious panic. Do high schools hire exclusively for these technology electives? Or do they get tied into another needed cert?

Thanks for responding. Much appreciated.[/quote]
