My husband and I are both retired teachers. I have 34+ years as a teacher, school counselor. I have worked at both the elementary and secondary levels. I have 3 degrees, B.S.E. Elem Ed., M.S.E, Counseling and Guidance, a Spec. Degree in School Administration. My husband has 35+ years, a B.S.E in Health Ed., a M.S.E. in School Administration, a Spec. Degree In Adult and Continuing Ed., and an Ed. D. in Adult and Continuing Ed. He was teaching college level courses in School Admin. when he retired for Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. All of our certifications have expired. How hard would it be for us to get re-certified in any of these areas? He also has a sporting goods business that we operate out of our home-football helmet reconditioning, sales of sporting goods equipment, sales and installation of artificial field turf, sales and installation of basketball goals. He works with numerous schools across the state. Right now our income is $100,000.00+. What information can you give us?

Hello Hawaiian Queen and Peter Kay,
I am very interested in your thoughts as I am currently finishing my masters in education with a special Education credential from USC. I would like to move to Hawaii with my two kids ages 12 and 14. I am a single mom, but do receive alimony and child support . My professor also said there is a lot of Opportunity for teachers . I use to own property and live in Maui part time . Do you think I should move and do student teaching in Hawaii or wait and do student teaching in Southern California ? Any thoughts would be helpful . It’s a big move and a long time dream
Considering Oahu or Maui, Kauai is a last option, but expensive to live .
Thanks so much , Richelle

Aloha, I am a Napa, mother native, father white. All the islands need Special education teachers! I retired from a mainland Sped H.S. job. I moved to Oahu after getting a call from Hawaii DOE. The paid my relocation and give me extra to stay. Love the children, love being home.
