Coaches,
I am currently a college student(studying to be a teacher) and a middle school coach(7th grade). I have some questions on how the whole process of finding a teaching/coaching job goes. When looking for a teaching/coaching job should I just apply to the places that I have heard of that have openings? Or should I call places that I am interested in and ask them if they have job openings? Or should I do both of the above?
Also when applying for a teaching job should I tell them right up front that I want to coach football as well as teach? The reason I ask this is because I dont want to get into a situation where I have a teaching job but not a coaching job. In other words I wont take a teaching job unless I can coach at the school as well.
Some more questions. I know that when you interview for a head coaching job that you are interviewed by the higher ups, school board etc. But when you are being interviewed for a teaching job and an assistant coaching job who all interviews you for the coaching spot? Also who makes the final decision on wheather or not you get the coaching spot? Is it the head coach, administrators or someone else?
I know I have asked a lot of questions but I will really appreciate any help you guys can provide!
