Knowing how hardworking and passionate Filipino teachers are, the Clark County School District (CCSD) in southern Nevada is planning to hire Filipino special education (SPEd) teachers to join the education force of the aforementioned place.
The Clark County School District Las Vegas, Nevada has recently hired teachers from the Philippines with the annual base salary of $40,900 or more than P2-million. That is more than enough for a family living in the Philippines.
INSPIRE ME
Nevada has already hired a dozens of teachers since the launched in 2017. This is the third time or batch that the said school hired teachers from all over the Philippines. In 2017, 84 Filipino teachers were hired and 105 in 2018. This is the third year since 2017 that the school has been recruiting more teachers from the Philippines to work as special education teachers.
Each recruited teacher has to undergone training under special education which includes not only classroom management but also individualized planning for students with special needs.
“We follow the same curriculum with the U.S. standards and the Philippine standards. That’s the advantage of the Filipino teachers so they can teach anywhere else,” said Dr. Michael Santa Juana of the Filipino American Educators of Nevada.
For your information, hired teachers will be provided with J1 visas to legitimize the work for three years in Las Vegas and are open to renewing the contract for another two years.
The Clark County School District has recruited around 200 teachers as participants in the Exchange Visitor Program (EVP) through the J1 visa, and not as H1 B visa /work permit holders or employees. Teachers who are J1 visa holders are required to return to their home country (Philippines) upon completion of the three-year exchange program.
We emphasize that the J1 visa program is NOT a pathway for employment regularization in the United States.
Meanwhile, newly recruited teachers explained this will be a long-distance sacrifice and may affect the relationship with loved ones who are left, but for the comfort and ease of their family and loved ones they are very much willing to do so.
“There’s a huge difference in terms of the basic salary and in terms of the benefits as well. I miss my family but for a better future and greener pasture,” teacher Jan Salazar explained.
But given the fact that you will receive a P2.1 M for a year, this is a rare opportunity for a teacher seeking greener pasture in other nations. What do you think ka-teacher?

how to apply?
Im willing for this. Im a SPED major.

SUPERB
Hi! I,m an elementary teacher and I,m interested to apply, am I qualified? thanks.
This is a good opportunity for Filipino teachers, but be weary that you won’t get the full salary as what the news claimed. Local teachers are fleeing outside their country because that salary in the US is just enough to live but would be difficult to pay the loans, get a house and secure a retirement plan. But again, if you are pursuing an international teaching career this is definitely a perfect way to start, when you finished the contract you can easily find a high paying teaching job in international schools around the globe.

Hello I was interested…
I’m graduated a elementary education,major in General Education…
Thats a little under $40K minus taxes a year. Most of the new hires will be assigned to “low income ” schools. Keep in mind, you still have to pay rent, utilities, transportation. Most of these teachers at this pay have second jobs. There’s nothing wrong with that. This is great for someone who is single.
What are your qualifications?
Why are you always converting the salary to Philippine pesos? Don’t you know that Filipinos needs to pay their bills in US Dollars? Don’t forget that we have to pay taxes, medical insurance, etc. which will be is about about 40% to 45% of the salary depending on the state. This is a good opportunity but our fellow Filipinos needs to know the facts!

I sir/madam I’m interested and willing to undergo training.How to apply and what are your qualifications for applicants?
Thank you
Reality Check – this salary is too low for teachers in US standards. It will be like $42K a year (gross salary), minus taxes (25-30%). Divide by 12 months = approximately $2,450 per month minus living expenses (rent $800-1,500, food ($500), transportation ($200). Whatever is left (if any) is what you can send back to the Philippines (for support, loan repayment, etc).
I’m interested.

FYI , If that is a gross salary, there’s an income tax to be taken from it before the check is issued. So expect that u won’t receive the whole amount as stated.
