My company, Seward Inc., is conducting a survey of educators around the world about their opinions, experience, and plans for using (or not using) student-centered methodologies in their teaching. The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete and is open to educators at all levels, from all subject areas, and in any geography. The results of the survey will be shared and compared this March at a workshop about student-centered teaching practices. All respondents can receive a copy of the results presentation. We hope educators will find the survey results helpful and informative. Please share with your colleagues!

Hi,
i am a distance teacher. i have a student who was in my course last semester who turned in everything in the final 3 weeks of class.

i am a distance teacher. i have a student who was in my course last semester who turned in everything in the final 3 weeks of class. I was very sick when this person did this, and i had to cram in a lot of grading while taking care of myself, a sick family too, and trying to work my other job in addition...
Now this person is in my 2nd semester course, and i am not looking forward to this happening again. Any advice? My company does not permit a 0 policy of any sort unless the student's school permits it beforehand, which in this case, it does not. I am tired of sending feedback that falls on deaf ears - this student never makes any changes to their work based on corrections i send, and i am exhausted from trying to help someone who doesn't listen to my feedback.
I vented to my boss about it this morning but i need more suggestions from other distance ed teachers. How can i deal with this student? I plan to contact the supervising teacher involved with the student, but beyond that, do the more experienced teachers on this board have any anecdotes they can share that might be helpful?
Thanks, i can't believe this person is in my Sem 2 course.

Hi everyone! I've been teaching 7th grade math since 1997 at a reputable school in a suburb of Pittsbugh. It's a great job, but as a mother of 2 young children, it's a bit of a juggling act.

I've been teaching 7th grade math since 1997 at a reputable school in a suburb of Pittsbugh. It's a great job, but as a mother of 2 young children, it's a bit of a juggling act. After completing several online classes through the Univ. of Phoenix, I have a new interest in online learning and am considering a career change. I'm entertaining the idea of teaching online.
This is a huge change and I'd like to learn more before drafting a resume, cover letter, etc... Would it be feasible to teach online if I secured daycare from 9 - 3 M - F? Is there flexibility in your day? For example, would I be able to drop my daughter off for preschool? Are there time requirements throughout the day? Are they 12 month positions or 10? The main push for this change is the hope of more flexibility in my day.
Another concern is losing my pension, so I'm hoping to stick with a PA public virtual school. I know of one - PA Virtual Charter School. Do others exist?
I would love to hear more from anyone who teaches online :)
Thank you, Laurie
I'm a vet teacher and I have a MA in curriculum and a year as a principal. I've taken on-line courses, but I've not taught them. I would like to introduce distance ed to my district but I am totally lost as to how to do it. Are there certain coruses that would benefit me?
I'm interested in online teaching... but wondering about salaries? I've heard rumors that the pay can be quite low. Every site I've looked at with job openings are very vague - as a one salary family, is it even worth it?
