Nicolas Cooley: Here is the web address for the Orange County (Orlando area) school district. www.ocps.net You can get in contact with them directly to discuss the credentials and certifications you will need to have. I just want to warn you, Florida is one of the lowest ranking states when it comes to the amount of money spent on students and teacher pay. For the second year in a row, the state government has cut funding to education. I am not too sure how this has affected Orange County but I know that in Broward County (Southeast Florida) has already laid teachers off and Miami-Dade County will lay teachers off in mid October or November. Oh and the state government wants to repeal a class size amendment that was passes and is supposed to go into effect in 2010.I don't mean to sound harsh or negative, I just want to give you the facts about what is going on in Florida....Show more
Carter Dewater: depends on where you want to teach. public schools require t! eaching certification; often, private schools don't. if you're in the UK now, I would recommend looking into the job market in Orlando prior to your move because private schools, which may pay better, can usually set their own standards for the teachers they hire. Public schools offer really good benefits packages, but they are also required to adhere to certification standards set by state law.
Solomon Belback: Good Lord why? You're leaving a perfectly nice cool island to go to bake in the hot, humid sunshine and teach undisciplined, undereducated louts. But if you're serious about it, the first hurdle you'll have to top is getting your teaching certification for the state of Florida. Contact any University there for information on how to go about doing this, they all can provide guidance. Once you have this, you're ready to go short of the immigration hurdles.Good luck to you!...Show more
