Expanding our roster of educator jobs for travel contractors

This week brought in our first "Teacher" position! We will be expanding this segment of our recruiting as we finish out the 2014-2015 and approach the upcoming school year.

Our first opening came in the form of a Teacher of Gifted Education. This needs to be someone who holds or is eligible to obtain a New Mexico Gifted Education certification. A teacher from any state with that same certification would be eligible OR a teacher with a teaching license who has a minimum 12 hours of gifted education courses from an accredited university. For information on how to obtain this, please give me a call or drop me a note. My desk number is 770-325-0234 and my email is millie.simpson@soliant.com.

Other qualities for the perfect applicant would be:

critical thinker and is creative in the classroom
familiar with the use of iPads and chromebooks
familiar with the use of Destination Imagination materials/books

There are 32 students in grades 4-6 who will be pulled out of class to attend the various classes. Teacher will be situated at one campus. This district is located in the beautiful Four Corners area of New Mexico and the position is open immediately for a contractor to finish out this school year, with the possibility of re-signing for the full 2015-2016 school year.

We are excited to bring teachers into the world of traveling. If you have a nomadic leaning and would like to travel to new destinations, we would love to work with you!

Recalculating....And the focus is on Special Ed Teachers for New Mexico!!

I came in to work this week determined to be focused and on top of my game! Well, it's Tuesday, January 6; the 2nd day back in my first full week of this new year and already my focus has been derailed! I have had to put my planner for the rest of the week on hold to try to help a school district in New Mexico find Special Education Teachers. They have several openings and want to see resumes ASAP to start making offers this week!

This is a large district in the heart of the state with a team of professionals already in place ready to help anyone we send get acclimated into their district. If this opportunity sounds like something you'd like to explore, give me a call at 770-325-0234 or drop me a note at millie.simpson@soliant.com

Paperwork for parent conference circa 1960

My mom gave me a box of things she had saved throughout the years from my childhood. There were report cards from the time I was in kindergarten through high school (Lord knows I'd never want MY children to see those!) There was also a report from my Speech Therapist about my progress. Ahhh, for the simplicity of the 60's, eh, folks??? I know it may be a bit hard to read, but it basically tells how many sessions I had & my mom had to sign it...that's it!!!

Spotlight on Special Eduation Teachers

End of year shifts

If anyone is looking to make a change in employment at the end of the year, now is the time to contact your/a recruiter (or just me..;-}...). So many shifts happen in school systems this time of year-those expecting a child don't return for the second semester, a spouse may be accepting a transfer to a different location, caseloads increase as children enroll for the second semester, and sometimes folks are just ready for a change. Below are a few of the locations where we are still receiving requests for Special Ed professionals:

Charlotte NC - SLP/ccc
S. of Baltimore MD - SLP/ccc
Winchester CT - School Psychologist
Jonesboro GA - Physical Therapist
Stockton IL - Teacher for Deaf & Hard of Hearing
Several locales NM - Physical Therapist
Easton MD - SLP/ccc
Several locales WA - SLP/CFY, OT & School Psychologist

Call me at 770-325-0234 or drop me a note at millie.simpson@soliant. com if you'd like details or have questions! I love helping to make your changes easier for you!!!!
