Teaching Without Certification

by ChrisWolfCaesar

Feb 9, 2017

For those of you who are not certified, what has your teaching experience been like? What degrees do you have, was it tough to find work, was working in a private school enjoyable, how was pay, or anything else you might think is valuable advice. Thank you.

Judy2/CA My daughter went to a Catholic high school and all the teachers were certified. The community colleges here generally hire part time instructors so many commute between colleges to make ends meet.

DonnaR/CA I taught at a private Christian elementary school while finishing up the classes to get a California credential. The school I taught at did not require a California credential. However, priority hiring was given to those who had credentials in some state, and had teaching experience. We had several teachers who had just moved into California, wante...See More

Learning websites for kids

by Shari1977

Feb 10, 2017

I used to post here several years ago when I was a substitute teacher. I've gotten back into it and am interested in educational websites to use with students when they are finished with their work. Fridays are my slowest days because after testing, I end up with almost an hour with "nothing" to do. I'm especially interested in science or...See More

I have no website suggestions (many parents are requesting that their kids have no screen time in school unless required) so I have books, art supplies, and penmanship books--I have quite a few kids this year who want to learn cursive and have good penmanship!

Where do you keep your vacuum cleaner when it's not in use? I'm struggling with figuring out a place to put it.

I have a bank of closets near my back door. One section is for cleaning supplies. My vacuum hangs out in that closest with my broom and dustpan. sj/retired

Got in 18.4 miles in on the bike this AM. Pushed the pedal as hard as I could knowing I was heading for the dentist to get a tooth pulled. The dentist experience wasn't bad at all. Of course the numbness hasn't begun to wear off yet. Only time will tell but I sure am glad I got my workout in first. Now for some relaxation and watching some Law and ...See More

judycaret men, I went to the dentist yesterday and I love Law & Order. Good work to both you and Bev.

I only logged 6,000 steps because I also had to go to the Post Office (to find out about a very important package that tracking said was delivered yesterday but wasn't), the seamstress, and the UPS store.

Yay for us!

JRod Cardio day completed!

I jogged 1.2 miles and walked/jogged the second 1.2 miles. The sun was shining, the temp was not as warm as yesterday, and there was a cool breeze so it was pleasant to be outdoors.

Back inside the gym to change into my swimsuit and to the pool. It was eerily empty so my preferred outside lane was free! I am...See More

Shirts are advertising my favorite Mexican restaurants, or purchased on a motorcycle trip, or left-overs from school activities.
