How hard is it to get a high school teaching job in Louisiana?

In EBR, you should have no problem. Good luck!

I'm thinking you could find a much better place than the OT on a Sunday night to ask something like this.

Probably very easy at one of our State's many failing public institutions.

Would be probably rather difficult at a nicer school with a low turnover rate. You never know though, could get in quick in a right place right time scenario.

A desirable teaching position? Connections are required.

Otherwise, there's a reason Teach Louisiana exists.

what is this? I too am hoping to break into the teaching field next year. You have any more info on what all this program entails?

Friend of mine had a degree but no certification. She tried EBR, WBR and Pointe Coupee and couldn't get hired.

He had to go out to Tangi parish and they hired him without certification.

Im no expert on Louisiana, I'm an education administrator in Mississippi but let me add this for you to think about:

There are only three fully certified Physics teachers in all Mississippi high schools. Physics is taught at every one of them, but usually by someone that had a very introductory Physical Science or maybe Physics I.

Fully certified: 12 undergraduate hours in Physics. If you have 12 hours, you should be a prime candidate at the top notch schools.

Good luck.

ETA: In most states, alternative certification is fairly easy to obtain. Some schools will hire you certification pending. In Mississippi, for example, you take 6 hours (can be online) of basic educational methods classes and 6 hours of practicum (which your teaching job can serve as) in order to receive full certification.

Do you say that because of the students or the administration?

Edit: I mean that wrt WBR vs EBR.

I know a guy who graduated recently and he began teaching at West feliciana. if i ever graduate, ill teach at a magnet school here.
