There are a lot of Texas coaches on here, so I figure this is the best place to ask this question. What is the procedure for an out of state teacher/coach to get a TX teaching certificate? I am just across the Red River, and am becoming very curious. Also, what is the attitude of most head coaches about hiring out of state assistants?

out of state doesn't really matter as much as being certified, who you know, and knowing your stuff

www.fortbend.k12.tx.us/personnel/prof/OOS-Cert.htmThis site will explain all out of state certification requirements and procedures. I came from MN/ND and have had a great experience teaching and coaching in TX, I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. I work on a staff with 3 non-Texans and our Head Coach has no problem with that. Most just want to know what your coaching background is and will hire good candidates. Be prepared to pay your dues again, but be realistic and understand that a resume is only that. Everything must be proven to those that don't know you personally. Jobs are plentiful, pay is excellent in most suburban areas, and good coaches will get every chance native Texans have for advancement. I do recommend careful research about the school you are interested in, some places are tough to teach in, and the diversity of TX schools can be a challenge for those that have worked in culturally homogenous schools of the midwest, (Swedes aren't minorities here.) Not being racist in my comments, just observations I have made concerning other Northern transplant teachers that had a hard time understanding the cultural differences in a school setting and the problems they had adapting to this challenge. If you learn to embrace the regional traditions and norms, you will be rewarded with a great opprotuity. And they will only make fun of you for about four or five years if your accent sounds a little funny der den.
