Whether you are in your first year or in your fifteenth – it is important to get honest and current information about this profession.

Searching for a teaching job is not the same as looking for a part-time or even a full-time non-teaching position. It is important to get your teacher career advice from teaching websites or from real teachers.

This article has two main sections: job search advice and professional development opportunities. Each section has links that pertain to helpful subtopics relating to your teaching career. I have even covered some less-discussed topics, such as the non-renewal process and leaving teaching.
