Tri-Cities, Washington teaching positions -- Age difficulty?
March 14, 2016 5:59 AM Subscribe
How hard is it going to be to find a new teaching position when I am pushing 60 with 25 years of elementary experience under my belt.
I know there is a shortage of teachers in our state and have read that the districts around Kennewick/Pasco/Richand area are scrambling for qualified teachers. Am I going to have a hard time finding a position with only five-six years left in my career? What do other teachers think about my chances? I am GLAD trained, but will need to bone up on the latest buzz words that will probably come up in interviews. I am at the top of the state's pay scale as well, which I do believe will add to the difficulty as well.
What does the hive mind think? I am so excited about this move!
