Do I have a chance
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2016 8:46 pm
So my wife and I are deciding between staying in CO or going back overseas and I'm wondering if I should even try given my situation. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
I have an elem teaching license and 9 years teaching experience My wife is Chinese w/ a green card and just got her CO teaching license this year. She's certified to teach Chinese k-12 and English 6th -12 grade. We have one son who is 2 1/2
Here's my career and my wife's career in a nutshell
1st year teaching reading in a school in co left b/c I wanted to be closer to my hometown
2nd year teaching GT in a different school in CO left b/c I wanted to go overseas
5 years teaching at a QSI in China 2nd grade
1 year as a full time sub back in CO while my wife taught Chinese at a private school.
1 year teaching in a small town in CO 2nd grade left b/c it was a one year only position
1 year (this year) ELL Coordinator and ELL teacher in CO
As far as I know, I've left on good terms in all my schools
My Wife taught Chinese 6 years at QSI and 1 yr private school in CO and this is her second year teaching Chinese at a public school in CO
For financial reasons we would prefer to go back overseas Since I've moved so much though I'm wondering if anyone would bother hiring me. We're okay with third tier but since we have a son we have to go to a school that would at least be okay for our child's education.
Do I have a chance or should I just suck it up and stay in CO?
