Hi all! I have applied for a teaching job with a private school. I will be teaching a class for an hour while being observed. My question is: Does anyone know what they will be looking for? Any tips so that I can knock their socks off and get the job? I really would like this job, so any advice at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!

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!

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the voting rights movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues.
NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. To receive the guidelines and information on how students can send in their entries, please contact me directly at [email removed].
The contest's official launch date is on February 12, 2010 (President Lincoln's birthday and Black History Month). Submissions for this contest are due by Monday, April 12, 2010.
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,
Naoma Nagahawatte The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.

I cannot believe the school just keeps heaping more and more responsibility on us/me ...never a thank you or caring shown to what they give us to do.
I am starting to be angry that they think we have no lives beyond these walls.
And, "they" are not held to the same standard to responsibility.
I am just feeling unappreci...See MoreI cannot believe the school just keeps heaping more and more responsibility on us/me ...never a thank you or caring shown to what they give us to do.

I am just feeling unappreciated.
I cannot list all there is going on right now because someone might recognize the source of this vent.
ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some sympathy, please....?
I have no one to talk to about it.
Others have someone doing at home stuff.... The ones who are "they" always take out a folder at every meeting to plan an activity and say, "This is how we have done it in the past" or "This is how we have always done it." Then they appear to be open to new ideas, but nah.... Oh, and, "But I'm not a committee of one" has been said when "they" present the same old same old and take ownership so one cannot have any consideration.... They just want everyone to agree to his/her way that it has always been done.
I am certainly not a committee of one, but I would like to be a respected member of a committee who can at least discuss ideas. The remark was not made about me, but the person presenting the file of the past.
Okay, then I am assigned a job and "they" bait and switch...assigning me more and more not even making any sense to what my job for a project was supposed to be.
And, I am equally mad at myself for not saying, "Hey, what is this?"
Christian school/church teaching ministry and my "cup" is continually being emptied and no one, no one, ever cares.
Burn out is happening for sure.
