Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make myself a more attractive prospect to schools in the upcoming recruitment season.
Currently, I have:
DC credentials in English (7-12) and ESOL (Prek-12).
A BA in Business Administration.
A M.Ed.
3 years IT experience as an English teacher in a Tier 3 school (common core curriculum)
5 years as a ESOL teacher in Korean public schools before that.
3 years teaching undergraduate business tutorials at a UK university.
Which endorsements, if any, would be the most valuable when applying?
1. Social Studies
+Would go well with English.
+Economics was part of my degree, and I've heard it's hard to find economics teachers?
-No teaching experience in the subject
-Not a US citizen, so schools might doubt I can teach US history
2. Math
+Math teachers are usually in high demand
+My degree had some math related content
-No teaching experience in the subject
3. Business
+Directly part of my degree!
+Taught at a university level, though 10 years ago now.
-I don't see many vacancies for this.
4. Something else?
Generally I'm just unsure how valuable endorsements are without any (or any recent) teaching experience.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
