No offense taken. I'll continue to hope for the best, but I appreciate the realism that teachers who have experienced the system bring to the conversation. Thankfully I am in a great teaching situation right now and I'm not at the point of frustration. Maybe that will come later :) Thanks!

Although she has a ton of experience in support roles in schools and in the library, she is not interested in becoming a full classroom teacher. I'm thinking more of a certification that would allow her to be able to tutor students in a small group basis.

I have heard that Social Science positions are tough to find. I am signed up with Search and am a little disheartened about the conversations I've had with them about my wife and daughters as a "liability" to finding a good job. Nevertheless, we are going to try to find a good job for the 2013-2014 school year.
My question is about programs you might recommend to add an ELS/ TESOL qualification to my wife's resume. Are there online courses that you've found particularly good? The options of programs seem endless. Thank you in advance for any insight you can offer.
