    If kids were all alike, we could teach them all alike, but if some kids are different, we must make them like the others, or failing that effort, we must learn to make instruction fit their differences...Let's do it the right way. Here's how, in a single page article you'll want to share with others.
    I'm a certified teacher, but I haven't been able to find an English / Language Arts position in the city where I live. I was thinking about relocating to find work. Which states are hiring?

    There is a cool app for Androids, Algebra Vocal Vocab... it uses voice recognition!!
    Has anyone here applied for a job through AppliTrack? I have read and heard that there are do's and don'ts attached to this system. I have been actively looking for a teaching position for over a year. I have had some interviews but never from a district that I had applied for via AppliTrack.

    Another question, when using AppliTrack the dis...See More
    Mandy Most of the applications I've ever completed have been on AppliTrack. It's very convenient, as once you applied at one district through it, you can import your data from it into other districts. Plus, a computer application is much easier on the hand than a paper one. :)

    Also, I've done some other computer applications that have been not v...See More

    Ryan Hi and thanks for your advice. I have tried it both ways, putting in the applitrack at first posting, and at the end. What I have discovered is that the district's are hiring before the closing dates. I do not know whether the postings are just a formality and they already had someone for the position or not.

    I have done research on the a...See More

    Help,

    I'm certified to teach English / Language Arts, but I haven't found a position yet. I've been searching for about six months, and I've taken to substitute teaching in the meantime. This is not at all an enjoyable job, and it makes me doubt my classroom management skills; I've gotten quite a few complaints as a sub, but some of the r...See More

    pixie re the health care field I was thinking about health care careers in general. Your experience may be an example of how one needs to carefully research before spending money or incurring debt on more education. But if you google "health care job growth" it does appear to be a leader in adding jobs in the U.S.

    I have a phone interview coming up and I'm very nervous. Has anyone done this? If so, can you offer any advice or questions I might expect? I appreciate the help!
    Leah Be at a table in a chair that has you sitting up straight. Have lots of notes available to help answer the questions. Take a keep breath and have a glass of water handy.

    You can do it. Try to relax and be as enthusiastic as possible.

    Leah How did it go? What ideas would you like to share?

    I already have my bachelors degree and had a 3.97, but I have hardly any math or science courses that I took, and the one science class I took years ago...I got a D because it was the busiest time of my life. I am planning on taking math and science classes to become more proficient and marketable, but my questions is...should I take those classes ...See More
    Jeff The answer to your question depends on 1.) What subject/grade level you for which you want to be certified, and 2.) the state/college requirements.

    Each certification program at each university sets the requirements for the numbers and types of courses you will be required to take.

    Whether or not you take math and/or science cou...See More

    Does anyone know when filling out an application using AppliTrack, when it asks "How did you obtain highly qualified status..."? It allows you to only check one, which one is best?

    1. passed state test (praxis) 2. state advanced certification (not sure what this means) 3. undergrad 4. grad. 5. Houuse

    Mandy My state doesn't has the "state advanced certification" option.

    Do you have an online account with your state's board of education website? Before we could get our certificate, we had to apply for one through The Educator Certification System. We register and renew our certificates through there as well. We can add professional development...See More

    Hello, I have been teaching Spanish at a rural middle school since January and have some great kids. However, one of my classes has been difficult to deal with all along. I have been very strict with them. On a side note, I know very well that respect is earned, not given. I live by that every day. I always give respect to the student to teach them...See More

    Mandy Not sure how students react in the environment you teach at, but I know I would be careful about directly calling students "small" or "mean." We try to put the focus on their actions and not them as a person. But again, it depends on the school/community you're in.

    Anyway, I think the instinct for any human being would be to ask who did i...See More

    Mr. Flatley Thanks to all for your responses. I have had time to reflect and found that the teacher's general demeanor can have a large affect on situations like these. I had this class again today and found that the suspected students were calm and ready to move on...I will take what I have learned here and think of better ways to react should this situation ...See More

    So I am fresh out of college and starting up my first job search. I hold a degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Development and am trying to piece together a teaching portfolio for job interviews. Needless to say I'm a little lost as to what all to include so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    LJ My last interviewer went through every page of my portfolio and asked me about all my projects in detail. She was geniuinely interested in my accomplishments and about what I could do.

    This job was NOT for the public school system. (Although it is related to teaching.)
