Hola! For a ton of reasons, my son (finishing his junior year in high school) and I are planning to possibly move to Maine this summer.

I left a message today with the Licensure department but I haven’t heard back yet. The issue comes with what I ask for as my endorsement.

Currently, I hold a Level II K-8 Elementary license, as well as a Level II Pre-K Specialty Area license. My current endorsements are: Bilingual Education, Modern & Classical Languages (Spanish), Language Arts, Social Studies, Reading, Library/Media, TESOL, Science, Mathematics and Business Education.

I am working as a high school librarian right now but I know those jobs can be hard to find. Coming from a desert, we’d like to live near some water but I am not too picky right now. I figure I need to get a foot in the door first, then figure things out afterwards.

We live in a rural area already. I’m originally from Chicago so I remember what cold is and how to dress for it. I own a Subaru and lots of flannel shirts . I am truly looking to make a true life change.

In your expert opinions, what endorsement should I choose first? What, among what I have, is the endorsement most likely to get me a job? Where should I look?

No matter what kind of issues there are in Maine, there is no way it is worse or more difficult than where I currently live.

What is your best advice? Thanks!

¡Hola! For a ton of reasons, my son (finishing his junior year in high school) and I are planning to possibly move to Vermont this summer.

I talked to someone at the Licensure office today about reciprocity and it seems that it exists between Vermont and New Mexico—yay! The issue comes with what I ask for as my endorsement.

(Yes, the kind that are good for your heart!)

I need some suggestions, please.

I am trying to eat more beans but I need something more interesting, more unusual. I am also trying to keep my 17 year old son interested. We are both ridiculously lactose intolerant as well.

In Santa Fe, I have tried every kind of bean (canned and dried) at La Montañita, Sprouts and While Foods. In Albuquerque, I have been to Whole Foods and Sprouts.

Any other suggestions, including online? Thanks!
