What can I do to increase my chances of work in US? (experiences please)
I've heard the challenges that non-citizens are facing with the current economical climate. The fact that schools are already laying off teachers, makes the idea of both months of planning and spending thousands of dollars a bit of a stretch.
So for this year I'm planning on working towards getting 'Outstanding' grading in my inspections. But what will I be able to do with it? I've heard about the Fulbright exchange but still looking for more similar projects.
Also, anyone familiar with any statistics regarding immigrant teachers? What are the numbers of applicants? Numbers of accepted positions? etc etc.
Thanks

VIF seems to be the cheapest least painless way to go to get to the states. Unfortunately, good luck will be needed. Sorry to be depressing and cynical, but at the end of the day, its just being realistic Good luck
