Re: Searching for good CA locations for ESL
Posted by Interested in "ESL" or "ELD" on 7/02/08
Hello all!
I am a California native ready to come back after many years from
Detroit- probably next year. I have K-12 Spanish (major) and 7-12 English
degree (I teach elementary Spanish in a charter school in Detroit) and am
in the process of going back for my masters...I am trying to figure what
would make me more marketable..Michigan is really tough right now. My
question: is there a high demand for "ELD" teachers in California? I ask
because I heard that many districts are moving away from ELD
programs...hopefully that is incorrect. Thank you for any info :)
