[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I have about 20 years experience, so I'm not a cheap choice. I didn't know that was something the larger counties took into consideration. I'm not willing to teach elementary. I have also heard that sped in FCPS is a nightmare and there are openings only because they can't keep people, but I don't know the specific reasons why. I'd to have to get hired on a provisional for that, though, and I'm not sure how willing the county is to do that.[/quote]

If you have been teaching for 20 years it’s been a long time since you’ve done HS math.  It might be difficult for you at this point and you would be very limited in the classes you could realistically teach. You could always take a course yourself first.  That’s going to be the biggest barrier to you getting the job, if you were somehow able to even pass the test to get the certification. You don’t have experience.

Have you been working on any HS math these past 20 years? I’m making a lot of assumptions here and I’m sorry if I’m wrong, but I’m a math teacher and it’s been so long I would need to study really hard before I taught a calc class now.  Many adults couldn’t do the problems in Alg 2. [/quote]
