Teaching Couple Application Question
Posted: Tue May 31, 2016 3:31 pm
My significant other and I are looking at entering into IT. I am a 4th year ESL teacher/ELL coordinator at a public school (fully certified with a masters) and she is a 5th year SPED teacher with experience teaching elementary and middle school (also fully certified) she also has experience teaching middle school math.
We are looking at starting in the 2017-2018 school year, what is the best approach to the recruiting process? We have a pretty long list of schools we are considering/regions and the contact info/job openings etc. should we just apply directly or would using a recruiter like Search or ISS be more effective?
If we go the route of applying directly what would be the best way to let schools know we are trying to work as a couple? Should we both apply in the same email/contact with both resumes etc. or apply separately and mention in the cover letter that we are looking to work together?
Thanks in advance for any help or if anyone here has any experience going through the process as a teaching couple.
