    I begin my teaching career in the fall as a PK teacher of 3's and 4's at a small Catholic school. It's a full-day schedule 8:30 - 3:30. Just wanted to get an idea of other PK class schedules. Also could use some suggestions for great PK music for movement and learning. Thanks! MK

    I just got hired to teach at a private school. I'm currently working towards my teaching certificate and this is my first time teaching. At this school, you have 3 to earn your certificate while you teach. My aide will be last year's teacher!! She's been there for 10 years, teaching for 3. She didn't get certified for some reason or another and is ...See More

    Zodea I think it depends on your grade level and where you teach.

    I'm not Catholic and I teach in a Catholic School. I teach science, not religion.

    If you taught in an elementary school, I think it would be more difficult. We say prayers in my class and I go to Mass with my homeroom students. It's really not a big deal. There are only a...See More

    To Mary Ann I am Catholic, but not very well schooled in religion. I had to take a basic religious education course (paid for by the diocese I work in) and will have to get advanced religious education courses by a certain time frame. Up until this year, I did not have to teach religion classes. This year, I will. The basic religion classes are what "qualifies...See More

    Looking for opinions----my math teacher purposed having the students able to do advanced math from each (7 and 8th) grade come together--the rest of each class could have 2 options---1. they to combine and do literature class together 2. or each go to a special and rotate--they will be together for PreAlegbra (which they would take separate anyway)...See More

    rider Our 7/8 is combined for certain classes. They do humanities (lit/history) and vocabulary/composition together. The curriculum rotates each year-nothing is repeated. They also do science together-currciulum rotates each year.

    They separate for math, logic, Latin, and music.

    My name is Mike Schaefer, and I am a doctoral candidate at Northcentral Univeristy. I am trying to prove the importance of Character Education in our schools by comparing Public to Private. I have currently developed a survey and will post it online as soon as the University approve it. I am overwhelmed by Public school participants but am having a...See More
    Jean Bullock Mike, try posting again once the survey is up. I think people might want to see the survey before deciding to participate.

    Donna music/TN One thought-does your tuition change if families are not Catholic and do not support the local parish financially and/or with their service? My daughter's school (LCMS), which gets about 60% of their students from outside the local congregation does (there are more children attending school daily than families who attend the church each Sunday. On ...See More

    I teach at a private elementary/middle school in southern CA, and we've always threatened an academic probation policy in the past, but we never followed through. The students continue doing miserably year after year, holding back the other students, and they really aren't getting the quality education that they deserve and could get in a public sc...See More

    PattyCA Our school is hurting for students and we try to help struggling students every way we can. However, I have one boy on academic probation for the fall. He failed most of his subjects on his last report card. The main issue is the parents. They did not have any follow through on any of the suggestions we gave to help him. They excused him not doing ...See More

    Pat In our policy manual to parents we tell them students will: * receive a report card each quarter * grades will be reviewed every three weeks and parents will be notified of anything under a C- * if it is an athlete they have two weeks to bring up the grade or be put on the bench - they have three tries then they are off sports for the rest of the y...See More

    Hello! This fall I will be starting my 3rd year of teaching. I taught in a public school my first two and will now be teaching in a K-8 Catholic school. For those of you who have taught in both, what did you find to be the biggest difference between the two? Any advice or guidance? Thanks so much!

    Marie I want to hear more about this too! I'm actually in a very similar position. I did my student teaching in public, and have worked two years in public. Just recently I began teaching summer school in private (a job which will continue this fall). I feel like I am in culture shock (but I am too new still to share any helpful observations). (Perhaps i...See More

    Lynne Hi,

    Well, coming out of both of these situations very recently, let me give you my two cents.

    First of all, I am not Catholic and prior to last fall, I had no experience in teaching at a private school. I had completed all of my practicum experiences in public schools and had intended to student teach in another public school. ...See More

    I am in great need of help and advise.I have been teaching 1st Grade in the same Parochial school for the past 20 years.To teach in Catholic Schools you must take a certain am't of Religion Classes.

    I was under the impression that I had completed this. Then--I get a letter in the mail saying that I was not going to be hired for the next sc...See More
