- Local school districts
Working in a public school system is a
great way to change the future. As with any public
school system, there are ample opportunities to help
mold the future through educating children. Teaching
in the public school system is one way to take your
experiences "to the street" and make a difference for
the improvement of everyone's lives.
- Private schools
Working in a private school setting is
quite different from the public system. For the most
part working in this environment seems to be free of
state restrictions/red tape and "teaching to the
test".
