It’ll pop up in the spring. I’m in my second hear teaching in Massachusetts and secured my job in May or June before moving here.

Edit to add: it’s a competitive job market. I only had one year under my belt when I moved here and the desirable school districts didn’t even look at my application. Your partner will have no problem finding a job in Holyoke, Springfield, or Chicopee, but they’re not great districts. Also she will have to get her masters within five years of teaching here. It would also be beneficial if she started the MA license requirements before moving.

I teach at a small Montessori nonprofit but was a public school teacher before moving up here from Virginia.

It was a very hard process for me to try and find a job and transfer my license. Most places want you to transfer your license or take the ma test before they’ll look at your application. You also have the get your masters within five years.
