Employment

[∞♥ 17]

My wife recently got her EAD and we have been job hunting in the private schools but there is basically nothing available.

Is she allowed to work in the public school system?

Thanks!

An EAD, which is no longer valid/needed once the GC is obtained (and is supposed to be destroyed or turned in to USCIS), allows a person to be employed in the US. However, there are certain jobs which are only available to US Citizens; these would not be open to an EAD or GC holder until they get their citizenship.

As long as the EAD is still valid she can but there are other requirements needed by foreign national who finished their degree course in other country. You might as well want to check it online how to get certification to teach in your state.

She can teach in both public andbprivate school even though she is just green card holder or ead. She just need to get certified and have her undergraduate credentials get evaluation. To become full time teacher on certain level, she needs to pass some sortbzof exam. But for substitute teacher, just credentials and certification. Other state nightshade more requirement though.

Unfortunately, not that I am aware of. Each organization sets its own rules for hiring. I am only aware of this because my wife applied for a GS job, and some require citizenship, some do not. It's in the job description. But I suspect MOST state and local jobs would not be so stringent. You'd just have to ask the school(s) at which she might work what their requirements are.

Check your state's education dept. I am a grad student in PA and we work in schools.. I had to get a police clearance, child abuse clearance, FBI clearance.. we have a temp. Teaching cert until I graduate, but I needed my undergrad transcript, 20 observation hours here in US, BLS life support cert to obtain it I work 20 hrs a week at a public school. Most states near PA have similar guidelines
