Arizona hiring teachers internationally
I know we often say, why would a school district go to the expense of hiring a foreign teacher? Well perhaps because they have thousands of vacancies? The article is a little light on the visa details as usual.

That's interesting..I wonder if unemployed teachers in the rest of the USA are aware of this?

Re: Arizona hiring teachers internationally
That also surprises me...:unsure:
I believe the starting salary @ Los Angeles is only about $40,000. Wouldn't $30,000 go a long way in Arizona for a starting teacher? I'm not clear what alternatives those who trained to be teachers would have. |

But often a newly qualified teacher isn't qualified to do much else.
Maybe they don't have a great number of newly qualified teachers in Arizona. Even qualified and experienced teachers don't have much of an avenue to change careers easily. |

Re: Arizona hiring teachers internationally
We have more teachers then we need here. No jobs for new teachers, and very difficult to get a job let alone a full-time teaching job.
Average teacher salary ranges from a low of 45,000 for new teachers up to around 75,000 for senior teachers with seniority. (40,000 to 64,000 in US dollars) Teaching is a very lucrative career in Canada when compared to the general population's salaries. |

Re: Arizona hiring teachers internationally
Hi, new here and very interested in this prospect. Any ideas where one might start inquiries as a UK teacher (PGCE, QTS, BA & MA) looking to make the move to the States?
Many thanks, Mike |

Re: Arizona hiring teachers internationally
The number of certified teachers vs the number actually teaching 95,000 to 52,000 sounds high - but 46% of all new teachers in the United States leave the profession within five years. Plus you have the baby boomers retiring at the moment which means there is quite a lot of staff churn. Arizona also has one of the weakest teachers unions so I can't imagine its great teaching down there. It's a difficult profession even with the unions being able to negotiate pay and benefits.

Re: Arizona hiring teachers internationally
Our vicinity often has a shortage of teachers in High School Maths and Science. I notice in the article that's what AZ appears to have a shortage in also. When I asked our school district why this is I was told that math and science majors can make more money in other careers without the added stress of 'babysitting'. (I'm in upstate NY.) Our state requires a Masters degree to teach any grade.
