Considering the budget cuts that have sent many of our colleagues scrambling to hiring fairs filled with eager new teachers, seasoned veterans, and fewer and fewer administrators looking to fill vacant spaces, it was interesting to find a blogger on the Baltimore Business Journal looking at where there are teacher positions open. Furthermore, the hiring struggles that incoming corps members will be contending with in the face of budget constraints will inevitably force them to think about alternative placements as well. Regardless, it turns out that some of the top (read: most expensive) private schools are looking for qualified applicants to apply for teaching and administrative positions.
Coming into teaching through TFA, the idea of working at a private school doesn’t even seem to be a possibility. The struggles that our students, schools, and communities face daily are the major reasons for our presence here. It may be strange to think of a high-paying, private school position as a last resort, but for many, that will be the only alternative to looking outside of the city for employment.
