Looks like it's time for the job hunt to begin, I'm unable to grow with my current company and just feel like it's time, I'm at an impasse though, I'm supposed to attend the TCEA conference in February (It's already paid for) it's a beneficial conference that I think would be an awesome opportunity to attend. What would your advice be?

Honestly, a job hunt at this time of year could easily take until February, so start looking and plan on attending.

I'm with Jared, Job hunts typically take a long time, especially if you are looking for something better rather than looking to take "anything." So start hunting, see what is out there and start practicing your interview skills. If you find the "right" job before then, just schedule to start in March. Jobs rarely require you to start immediately. Once they have their right candidate, waiting is rarely a big deal. They have to plan many months for looking for someone so they have to be flexible already.

@Dashrender because more teachers are learning new things and constantly are changing the way they are teaching, the state makes changes, the materials change. They could change them for any reason. Example, my best friend is a technology teacher, this is her first year, and she's already started making her lesson plans for next year, to make the class more interesting for her students. Different projects, more hands on, the sky is the limit! Well the state's limit...lol
