You'll see that there is an event called "Great Florida Teach In"
where all the districts send representatives to interview candidates.
Special Ed is a "critical shortage area" here. My district, Broward
County, on the East coast, expects to hire 2000 new teachers next year
- other counties are the same.
Good luck!
