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?

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 district's web site usually states "NO PAPER APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED" Would it be wrong to send a follow up letter to the district?
Ideas, experiences, you would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated.

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 very techonology friendly. Never had problems like that with AppliTrack.
I've heard if you apply through AppliTrack and have submitted your application, you should re-submit it closer to the deadline. This apparently brings it to the top of an administrator's list.
I wouldn't send anything in paper if they are saying not to. You can bring paper copies to an interview though. I think a follow-up phone call to human resources (or whoever) would be appropriate though. :)
Good luck.

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 applitrack sytem and read that it scans the information and not all applications make it to the district. I do not know this as a fact, just something I have read. The article states that something as simple as underlining a word could throw off the scanning and not put through the application.
Resubmitting it is a good idea, I will try that with my next one.
Thank you,
Ryan

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 regular teachers admit to not being able to control some of the students sometimes. I'm at a loss. I've read classroom management tips and self-help books. I've also observed teachers with decent classroom management. It has not improved my skills.
I'm still looking, though, does anyone have any advice onn how to land that first teaching job?

Teaching was once a profession where getting a job was relatively easy. Now, almost every district is laying off and cutting back costs. An eroding tax base is part of the trouble. I honestly cannot think of many professions not impacted by the economic situation.

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!
LeahBe 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.
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 courses before you begin certification coursework is up to you. Check with the state certification office (usually the state education website) and/or the certification office for the university to inquire about the course requirements.
Rest assured that you will be taking some math and/or science while you are earning your certification for elementary education. For middle grades certification, you will be taking additional math and science courses.
(If, however, you are becoming certified to teach high school math or science, then you will take dozens of math/science courses)

I have an undergrad degree in...See MoreDoes 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
I have an undergrad degree in my field, obtained my CEAS via an accelerated teaching degree,and passed the praxis.
I am not sure what state advanced is, and I have done several google searches.
The question only allows you to choose one. Which is best?
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. This AppliTrack system of applying is making me nuts.
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, review our credentials, our teaching experience, etc on the same site.
Anyway, there is a "NCLB Highly Qualified Subject Areas" section, and that tells us our highly qualfied method, so that's the one I go with. For me, it's the state test.
I will say, though, for one of the first applications I filled out, I checked the undergrad option and got the position. I think all that matters is that you're highly qualified.
But then again, once you get a position, you may find your administrators assigning you additional subjects to teach that have little or nothing to do with your content area, so the whole concept of being highly qualifed goes out the window. :/ I think that's where the Housse option comes in at.
Good luck, and I hope I helped. :)

As you can imagine, while the year is coming to a close, the situation is getting a little more tense (these are eighth graders getting ready to move on to high school). Furthermore, I am the third Spanish teacher this school year.
Here is what happened: towards the end of class, a student 'flicked' a peice of plastic at me. I responded demanding to know who it was. I knew that of course no one would come forward (but I gave it a try anyway). So, I gave the entire class an ultimatum. If know one comes forward, I will not allow the class to have a 'relax' day on the last day of school. I added, 'If you guys cannot respect me, then I cannot give respect back to you.' I was upset to find the level of disrespect that was given to me, especially after how hard I work for this class. However, O feel that I could have dealt with this situation another way.
What should I have done to handle this situation a little differently?
Anyway, I think the instinct for any human being would be to ask who did i...See MoreNot 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 it. It might not be the best way to handle the situation, but I don't think you or anyone should fault you for making that decision.
I think the key is to address that the action was disrespectful and hurtful and that you would hope that whoever it was would make a better choice in the future.
If you have administrator support, he/she could pull kids one on one and investigate. I know we have an administrator who could get through an entire class in about 10 minutes. Sometimes she get info. Other she doesn't. But I do believe whoever flicked the plastic should receive a consequence (if they ever find out).
Good luck. :)

I too had to complete an online portfolio of my undergrad courses through the program LiveText. Although at times it was confusing and alot of work, I feel that I am very fortunate to have that portfolio for future interviews in the teaching field. I am going through my credential program right now and need to complete an additional online portfolio as well. The good thing is that if you are at an interview and they request to see a portfolio, you already have one. So although at some interviews it may be a waste of time, at others it may get you the job. -Nicole
This job was NOT for the public school system. (Although it is related to teaching.)
Public school jobs hire to the resume and frankly, if it ain't on paper and lets them protect their behinds, then they really don't care about a portfolio or other items. (25 interviews and counting this year). Make sure your resume documents EVERYTHING you think is important.
