My husband is a teacher from Scotland - now lives in the US and cannot get a job?

Question

He taught Religious Education in Scotland for almost 20 years. He moved to the USA over a year ago and cannot get a job. Can anyone offer any advise ???

Answer 1

I'd be looking at theological seminaries. Can't believe they won't hire one. Also Religiously affiliated Colleges that have a good religion department. That's where I'd start.

Answer 2

He might have problems finding a teaching job because of his accent, You might find you have to speak like them to be understood.

Answer 3

If he received a four year degree, he should be able to get licensure to teach public school (probably something along the lines of English or whatever his degree was in). At least, that is the case in North Carolina. They are so desperate for teachers, it doesn't matter WHAT your degree is in. You could have a BA in Business and decide you want to teach high school math, english, whatever, and they'll license you and get you started. It's advertised all the time. So, provided he's an intelligent individual and your state is in need of teachers (which is pretty true throughout MOST of the US), he should be able to take the appropriate tests and begin his career as a teacher here in the States.

Check out your local school board to find out more.

Answer 5

That's tough.  In the states, teaching about religion in schools is dangerous.  To many psycho's to please.  Say the wrong thing and it become fuel for ballistic parents to start spouting through their pie holes. He might consider a new subject.
