"The Most Effective Search Methods for Both New and Experienced Educators!" Some districts are laying off senior staff. Others are begging for applicants. This guide describes how to assess which district is which, prepare paperwork—including credentials, applications, references, resumes, portfolios and videos—and get in the classroom door through successful interviews and alternate means such as volunteering, substituting, or working as a temp. The authors include a chapter of resources on teaching jobs, and results of surveys on how others have approached the job market.
