Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 5196837, member: 5787"] Have you considered independent/private schools? No certification needed and, depending on which direction you want to teach, your previous work experience can go a long way adjusting into the education field. There are a lot of really good private/independent schools in CT, and, depending in your area, you can apply to the schools that fit the niche you are looking for. Quite a few teachers in the MS section of my school are on second/third careers as teachers. I've taught in the same PK-8th grade international school for 15 years and love it, although the pay is a little under the median salary of nearby public schools and no pension, but there are other perks, including matching 401k contributions. I'm dual certified in CT for 4th-8th English & Math, but I don't have a desire to leave even though I've applied to a few public jobs here and there. Feel free to PM if interested. [/QUOTE]
