Any teachers here? I've gtot my letter of eligibility, but it seems like the only way to get hired in BC is to be hired as a teacher-on-call. I can't imagine moving my whole family up there to be a substitute with only an occasional chance of work. If I DID do TOC, would I be working every day?

Anyone? If nobody knows, any ideas where I could ask?

    I'm no expert on this, but I do remember a whole series of cutbacks in the education department many years ago. A lot of new teachers got laid off and students got shuffled into overcrowded classes. Newly graduated teachers could only get work as teachers-on-call. I think you would have a better chance of getting work if your credentials included working with special needs students, have ESL training, or if you teach hard sciences (including math) at the high school level. Good luck!
