Despite the doom and gloom of the job market, there is a need for teachers across the country.  Some regions have more teachers than jobs, but some areas of the US are hungry for teachers in all disciplines.  Teach for America is an AmeriCorps program placing people who are willing to teach in low income schools around the US.  If you’ve thought of using your life skills in the classroom but thought you needed certification before ever thinking about any kind of teaching, check out Teach for America.  The application deadline is February 10.  It could just be what you need.  Committing two years of your life teaching,  is just  what some child you haven’t met yet, needs.  Learn more at Teach for America.  (A new region is opening up in Seattle/Tacoma).
