While I certainly spend a lot of time on my bike, at the beach, and with my family, I also…as many other teachers must do…work during the summer.
But as I have stated before my “summer job†is a little different than the typical summer job that many teachers are forced to take…
You can read about my summer job in this previous post: http://teaching-tips-machine.com/blog/?p=39
Basically my summer job is an online business…
I create both paid and free teacher resources.
My three ebooks (and a handful of affiliate products) are the only way I make money through all of this so I greatly appreciate all of you who have purchased one or more or them…that is the ONLY way I could keep doing what I am doing.
My free teacher resources include this blog, my newsletter (The Teaching Tips Machine…that sends out weekly teaching tips), my teachers forum (http://www.Teaching-Tips-Machine.com/forum), a classroom management e-course (http://www.Classroom-Management-Tips.com), some free reports, and many, many articles.
As you can imagine, working this “side business†takes quite a bit of time…
Lately, I have been focusing on article writing and focusing more on articles to help teachers get a teaching job…
Through my research I am saddened by the number of potentially great teachers who simply can not find a teaching job…
On one popular teacher forum many teachers are simply giving up and looking into other careers because the competition to get a teaching job is just too tough.
For some reason there is a huge misconception that getting a teaching job is easy.
The fact is…getting a teaching job can be quite difficult…especially in certain parts of the country.
You really need to do EVERYTHING you can to get an edge on the competition…
I have written about seven different articles now that are designed to show teachers how to get that edge.
You can read all seven of them here:

Hope you find them useful.
I truly believe that the articles I have written over the past few months can help teachers get an edge on the competition.
If you are still looking for a teaching job or know anyone else who is struggling to find a teaching job than make sure to visit my free article page here:

I will continue to add articles to this page as I write them.
Have a great day!
