Job Opportunity
After going on the Maryland State Dept. of Education website I looked for job opportunities in the area of early childhood education. There was a supervisor position that I was interested in but after reading the description, I would have to have administrative experience. I do have credits in administration but no experience as an administrator. In the past I thought about going into administration and supervision but I no longer has and interest in that area of education.

Job OpportunityAfter using google to search for jobs I was able to find a position in the Massachusetts area as an early childhood educator. At this time I have not ruled out leaving the school system to try to pursue my dream of becoming an early childhood educator. This position is a teaching position versus the administrative position that I listed previously. Some of the job qualifications are:
- Evaluations and assessments,
- Curriculum development and group work,
- Development of individualized service plans and multidevelopmental services
- Service coordination
- Parent support and education.
- Weekly team meeting and supervision
- Attending monthly in-service trainings
- Maintaining competency in the field via continued education
Hi Thesha, I enjoyed reading your post. It is difficult to find positions that do not want experience in areas that we may not have as yet if the majority of our career has been in the classroom. I find the same issue with many of the federal jobs on the base. If you are not already in the GS system, it does not allow you even to be looked at for the position regardless of experience or education. I think it may be more rewarding to still have direct contact with the children and families than moving to the administrative side. Cindy Ferguson
