I think I'm going to pass on the fair and try to forge my own path- I'm preparing a portfolio cover letter resume letters of rec etc. and I'll contact some of the schools who went to AASSA and UNI (I have my heart set on a Central American or South American school) and maybe I'll get some offers that way after the fairs. Also toying with the idea of getting a math cert added to increase my competitiveness.

I'm also planning on going down to South America to travel so maybe an opportunity will present itself there... or maybe I'll win the metaphorical lottery and DoDDS will pan out!

thank you gr8teach!

Hi

I'm considering going to the UNI job fair- I have to decide soon. I have 3 years experience, an M. Ed in TESL, and I'm certified in ESL, English, and biology. I've taught English/language arts and biology to English language learners for 3 years

1. I've only worked with struggling students- ELLs- does this affect my chances of getting in the top tier schools? It's a far cry from IB/AP programs

2. Are there 1 year contracts available or all 2 year?

3. Any general advice for UNI job fair? It sounds like a madhouse v. intimidating. Should I just forgo the 10 hour drive one way/~$700 investment and apply from home? You'd think with Skype etc job fairs would become obsolete

Thanks!

hi! I'm thinking about going to the UNI fair. ELL is my specialty- all my experience is at the high school level. I'm really curious about the answers to your questions too.
