The most critical for you will be to get a detailed description and cost of the the benefit package to which you are entitled in accordance iwth ';state regulations.'; Does it include health care benefits? Are these fully paid by the employer or do you have to pay a portion? Are a variety of plans available to choose from? For example HMO vs. Preferred Provider. If you have a family will you be able to insure your spouse and children under the plan.





Is there a pension plan paid at least partly by the State? How does it work? How long do you have to work to get some vested right in the plan? Generally, what percentage of your salary can you expect to receive at the termination of your career?





Does the job offer dental insurance?





You may also want to explore the dynamics of the particular school. What is the turn over ratio? How are teaching assignments structured? Team teaching? What resources are available? Why have teachers left for other schools or positions? Hope this helps a little.Some advice about new job, and the contracts?
is this a new post or has the previous teacher left (if so, why?)





please clarify my responsibilities (they may seem obvious but you can't make any assumptions)





sooner or later a student will not accept the authority of his teacher, what are the procedures I should follow when this happens?





how will my performance be measured? I am keen to succeed.





Does the school have a mentoring programme for new teachers?





(personally, if this were my first job offer I would just take it to get the experience)
Looks to be a standard offer letter. 9 days vacation (as a starting teacher) sounds good to me.





If you're comfortable with the pay and you want to work at the school, then sign it.





Also, is this a public or private school? If its a public school you'll also be paying dues into the teachers' union.
Looks okay except that nothing is mentioned about your responsibilities. This might, however, be incorporated in the contract you will sign.





Peace and blessings!
