Sitka Sam No offense intended but do you have dyslexia or some sort of reading disability? I am not trying to upset you but your post has so many errors in it. Are you an educator?

Jane lease do your research before moving to Alaska. The cost of living is high. Depending on where you go, you could be in months of darkness. Winter seems to be about 9 months long. If you can hack that, then there is the whole issue of teaching. If you have never taught before, don't try starting out in the Alaska Bush. Your first year of teaching is...See More

08-09 Jr. High Battle of the Books

by Christina

Sep 18, 2008

Hi all... I was wondering if anyone else out there is teaching Battle of the Books at the Jr High level. And are you interested in sharing resources? Not the books of course but comprehension questions or other activities you are creating. We started with "Flipped" and I wrote an extensive Cloze summery for it. I'll be doing "Touching Spirit Bear" ...See More

Alaska Salary Scales Revisited :)

by Nanda

Sep 20, 2008

Is there a more current way to access scales, or is this impossible due to the multi district approach. I am aware of Alaska Teacher Preparation's site having information, often several years old, for many but not all districts. Pribilof Islands information? North Slope information?

Alaska Teacher Will have to check at work Monday, but on the bachelor scale you would be starting at about 58,000. Will have to look up the Masters pay scale, get kicked up 1,800 for 18, 36 credits after your degree.

LKSD has a position advertised in Kaltag; the school itself isn't listed on the district website and nobody answers the phone at the school. Does anybody know what's going on? Once before I took a position without finding out the true state of affairs and I really regretted it. Any info or contacts would be appreciated.
