I am a retired teacher/coach, thinking about getting my Colorado substitute cert and wondering what feedback you have on this subject. I live in Widefield.

Flacka My husband has similar issues and he got something from the doctor to take about 20 min. before we board that will calm him down. It has made a huge difference for him.

EXERCISE ROLL CALL for Monday

by judycaret

Mar 13, 2017

Elaine, I went back to TJ and got the Chili Lime Seasoning you recommended. I even got some for the caregiver. I just had it on my lunch cottage cheese and it was FABULOUS! Thank you!

Elaine/ret/IN Yes, Judy, that is good stuff. Walking with a view and a book and Chili Lime Seasoning very close by is a perfect trifecta.

Men, it's spring in the indoor pool area and the kids are breaking from school. Guess that means you're on spring break.

Why are sped teacher not paid more

by wondering

Mar 1, 2017

When it requires extra education? It requires extra patience? It requires a strong constitution? The paperwork is about quadruple of that of reg ed?

What is the argument that sped teachers should not be paid significantly more, for their additional skill level?

Sped is typically a very hard job. But, that being said, everyone knows a resource or inclusion teacher who seems to have it easy, so it goes both ways.
