I am currently taking the alternative certification program for my state and I was wondering if anyone had any tips, study materials or guides that they are willing to share.
I set my own hours and don't have to worry about planning, marking papers, parent meetings, administrators, commuting, low wages, etc. I recently passed the VIPKid Demo that someone had mentioned before in one of the forums... The bundle below included all the props and resources I needed and which I highly recommend:

Hello group.
I find that my shoes for my old job where I was running around like a crazy lunatic don't quite cross over to teaching. I mean I'm still moving and what not but there is a bit more standing and what not. I was wondering what shoe you have found that are perfect for teaching. Thanks
Hi, does anyone have a Navaed book for professional education that they no longer need?
I am in need of some advice. I feel as though my situation consists of several "special" circumstances.
In November, I will graduate with my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies. From there, I will begin working towards my Masters Degree in Education (either pursuing Elementary Education or Secondary English Education,...See MoreI am in need of some advice. I feel as though my situation consists of several "special" circumstances.
In November, I will graduate with my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies. From there, I will begin working towards my Masters Degree in Education (either pursuing Elementary Education or Secondary English Education, I am currently undecided).
I currently live in Japan due to my husband's military career. By the time we leave Japan and go back to the States, I will have finished my Masters degree. Therefore, I am trying to get as much "experience" under my belt, as it seems most jobs require at least 1 year of teaching experience. However, opportunities are few and far between, here in Japan.
I am currently working as an ESL teacher for Pre-k, Kindergarten, and 1st grade Japanese students. I have a one year contract with the school. The pay is miserable ($3.00 an hour at 12 hours a week). I pay a babysitter for my son more than I actually make in an hour. I am literally doing this job for the sake of the experience it gives me.
This is where things get a little complicated. I only work two days out of the week. For the other days out of the week or after my 1 year contract is up, I would like to do one of two things. I would like to either start a Kindergarten Readiness Preschool Program that I would run out of my home for other military families around me (for children ages 3-5), or I would like to substitute teach.
Both of these options have many pros and cons. For the home-based preschool, I would be able to stay at home with my son and actually make money while also giving my community an affordable option for a kindergarten readiness program. We currently only have ONE preschool program on base that only accepts about 20 students a year. The only other options families have are to go off base, which usually costs about $1000 a month. What are the cons of this? Well, I am not entirely sure that this would count towards teaching experience? Obviously, I would be building curriculum, lesson planning, etc. but because I am running it out of my home, I'm afraid it wouldn't leave much of an impression on future employers.
Substitute teaching would obviously be beneficial. The pros of this are self explanatory. However, I face the dilemma (once again) of my entire paycheck going towards daycare for my son because there are no affordable options here!
What counts as experience? What are my best options? Any advice is very much appreciated!

I am a first year teacher. I am young, fresh out of college at 22. This has been a very good year for me, and I have been told by one of my co-teachers that I have the management of a 3rd-4th year teacher.

I am young, fresh out of college at 22. This has been a very good year for me, and I have been told by one of my co-teachers that I have the management of a 3rd-4th year teacher. The one problem I've run into this year is that people treat me like I'm incompetent as a first year teacher. It's like just because I'm young, they treat me like I'm the little kid who isn't grown enough to sit at the adult table. Some people that I have to work with really have not been flexible when I bring in new ideas that I'm not suggesting in a demeaning, rude, or know-it-all way. These people are older, but some are only just returning to teaching after taking off for an extended period of time. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem?
Hi!,
So I'm currently in a district that does not have adequate programming for my classroom. I'm teaching a 3rd-5th grade self-contained classroom. The last teacher I heard was using what she could of the general ed, on level programming when possible, but mostly made up her own things. I don't want my current situation to happen next yea...See MoreHi!,

The last teacher I heard was using what she could of the general ed, on level programming when possible, but mostly made up her own things. I don't want my current situation to happen next year. I'm looking for programs that target ELA and Math, and fits students with, disabilities, ESL, and behavioral issues. I know, I'm asking for a lot, but any help would be great! I already presented Math in Focus and Readers and Writers Workshop, which got turned down. Thank you again!

Just a post for beginning teachers to offer my services where I offer help teachers in specific areas of writing in the teaching field. This includes help writing the proficient accreditation annotations to meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, lesson plans, student report comments, and more writing specific areas for teachers. I know what it is like to be a new teacher, trying to figure everything out whilst being busy with a full teaching load. So if you are interested in any help with specific writing needs for the teaching field, you can contact me at: [email removed].
My aim is to relieve the tedious and time consuming requirements, so teachers can spend more time teaching!
