I landed my first teaching job by being enthusiastic on the interview and bringing a portfolio and a video tape of a lesson.
I landed my first teaching job because I possess these qualities flibility, caring, loving, creative, and enthusiastic.
Finding a teaching job can be hard, but here is some advice to make it easier stay positive even though it's tough out there. You don't want to give up your dream because once you do land a job, touching the hearts of children and seeing the smile on their faces is the best!

DonorsChoose.org Project: Hope for the Future
Is there hope for the future of American Education? If educators continue to be innovative and caring, I think that there is!
It's time to weed out the bad teachers, and continue to encourage young teachers to be positive role models to their students. When teachers continue their own education, both formally and informally, they are bound to make a big impact on their students' lives.
Staying on top technology is one way to inspire young students. A fellow teacher and I just completed a workshop on integrating technology in the classroom. We took what we learned, and helped our students create powerpoints, movie files, and projects using digital photography. They were so excited about the projects, that my friend and I will continue to integrate these things in our classroom. To see the students so excited about learning gives me hope that innovative ideas like these will continue to inspire future students.
