Hi Rey: It is nice reading about this topic and even nicer to hear there are opportunities in Arkansas. I have taught English; Spanish and French for many years in my life and though I presently hold a full time job within the travel industry, I have always been the type of person who looks for new tasks (with better salaries).

I am very concerned with the age though. In México institutions wil hire all those under 35 and I start to believe I might be discarded from the market (i will be 58 on August 18) I am happy with my job even though sales have dropped drastically and if this continues, chances are we will get sacked. Another thing is the visa needed. Is there assistance from institutions to obtain it?

Thanks fro an answer and I hope you are fine.

Roberto Centeno

Hello Sr. Hernandez, I do not have any teacher dredentials but I do teach Spanish at a Technical college in Wisconsin. As of now I am an adjunct faculty menber. Presently I am attending college in order to obtain a 4 year bachellors degree in business. I wonder if you could tell me what do I need to do so that I may qualify as a teacher.

Gracias.

Atentamente.

Cesar Cisneros.

Hi Rey Como estas tu? Deseo de todo corazon muy bien......ya se bien Bbbbbusy.

Con 5 anos de experiencia en el sistema escolar, Yo creo que las revistas o magazines deben hacer un articulo unicamente y especialmente, como donde y el primer y el 2 paso a seguir para obtener una certificacion o si quieres cambiar tu carrera de marketing a Teacher, que tienes que hacer y el tiempo aproximado para hacerlo efectivo, y que en verdad ofrecen estas entidades para apoyarlos Profesionalmente y Personalmente, le dejo la inquietud......con 5 anos ahorre en el plan de retiro y habiendo pedido querer incrementar mi aporte mensual, a la hora de mi retiro de la Escuela en 5 anos solo tenia Que Riiiisa..$3,000 dolares, los creditos que trate siempre de obtener.......unos cuantos, solo me pagaron un dia de Continued Education Classes porque encontre esta entidad de California, Staff Development Resource, y se lo propuse a mi jefe, cuando me presente a la Universidad de Clayton la persona que se yo o Secretaria ya me lo habia comentado mi companera Luz discriminativamente te daba medio informacion y la otra la tenias que adivinar, lo que no sabe ella yo fui estudiante en esa *U* desde 1988 tome cursos en Computadora, cuando aun no viviamos en el mundo de la Techno......y te puedo mandar una copia del certificado de cuantos creditos?
A todos los interesados solo deseo dejarles saber trabajar como Educador es una bella experiencia, todos los dias recibes y aprendes algo nuevo de los estudiantes y +Talentos+, los mios fueron excepcionales, dibujantes, matematicos, arquitectos, ninas que querian ser Ingenieras mecanicas, porque tengo una amiga que es Mecanica de carros, con mi chichigua de salario les hacia regalos para que dibujaran, en mi clase no aceptaba excusas......... y creo la 1ra clase que debes recibir es Class Management y la 2da, school policies and regulations..........y ver que hace NEA....que es la organizacion mediadora entre el Profesor y su mundo.
Que tengas un bello fin de semana, suerte y cuidate.
Tu amiga Profesora de nacimiento.....es una broma .....Ja...jaaaa

Virgilio Manuel,

We faced many of the same challenges here in Arkansas. One challenge is recruiting Latino's away from traditinally Hispanic areas and asking them to leave the comforts of their families for an opportunity. The good news is this economy has put some out of work and are now seeking to go anywhere they can. Locally, we have begun a program to try and grow our own by working with the colleges and universities to identify candidates and assist them toward getting their credentials and certifications. Your local LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) may be able to help and you can get information about LULAC at www.lulac.org which will also give you links to LNESC for scholarship information and SER for Latino hiring information. Best wishes. My direct contact e-mail is rhernandez1@nwacc.edu if I can be of further assistance.

Buena suerte,
Rey

Dear Mr. Hernandez: I am presently a principal of a small school servicing and educating emotionally disturbed adolescents (grades 7-12). A significant amount of my students are Latinos. My teaching staff is not. I have tried diligently to hire Latinos, however this has been virtually impossible. Where are certified Latino teachers in NJ?
