Teaching jobs

[vx_thorpe]

HI,
I am looking to move to the D.R early next year (2010) I am interested in finding a teaching position somewhere. I am not set on any particular area of the D.R so any information would be helpful! I do have my B.A in Child Psychology and will be finishing my B.Ed this year.
If anyone has any information they can pass along it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank-you

So you are looking to get hired for the 2010-2011 school year starting in August 2010 I assume?

With your education you will have NO trouble finding a job in any area of the country you choose.

I would advise first choosing an area of the country that you would like to live in.

Investigate the housing market (for either renting or buying).

Pay will be higher in the Santo Domingo and Punta Cana area. Pay on the North Coast does not really compare with pay down there.

Look at the pros and cons of the areas, and then expand your search for schools from there.

But as mentioned, with your degree you will have no problem finding a job!

One other suggestion is to try to have the school hire you from the US the benifits and pay are much better than coming here and then getting hired. Carol Morgan is an amazing school and they have job fairs in the US to hire teachers. Remember that The school look for teachers starting in March and the jobs start in Aug.

Thank you so much for the help! I will look into Carol Morgan as well as jobs fairs. I am coming from Canada though so do you happen to know anything about any job fairs/recruitment up here?

After looking around I think your right (alicious) and I am interested in either Punta Cana or Santo Domingo so I will look around in those areas!
