Here’s a link to the National Educators Association website. [NEA: National Education Association](National Education Association | NEA). There should be a section with seperate state associations links there.

Useful for checking general trends, areas/subjects of need, job boards, certification requirements, standards.

I’m familiar with this from a music teacher’s standpoint as son was headed that direction. There may be seperate/additional professional associations for language specialists as well. For music, these included ASTA, MENC, MTNA and others.

Her current college may also have a very knowledgeable education staff/department and formal prepared info she might want to look into as a point of reference.

There are also federal programs that allow teachers to reduce/forgive federal student loans if they meet certain criteria regarding subject and area/specific schools and districts.

Just some places to look for info, from a layman who had to inform himself.
