â...See MoreWe are well on our way to a successful postcard exchange, but are missing one of the largest states in the USA. Please consider joining our 3rd grade exchange. Here are the guidelines. If you are interested I will need your name, school name, school address, and an email address. You may post a reply here or email me at [email removed].
• You must teach 3rd grade. This allows us to be able to compare and contrast information using common ground.
• You must commit to sending one postcard to each class participating in the exchange by December 1, 2010. This gives us plenty of time to collect and send postcards.
• You will receive an emailed list of participants and addresses no later than August 31, 2010.
• Information to be included on your card:
o Students favorite school lunch o State or city sports teams o Number of boys and girls o Famous people from your state or city o Anything unique to your school, class, state, or city

We were told that the school district was looking into creating a preschool inside the elementary school. We were also told that this is something the entire State of Alaska was pursing.
Is there anyone throughout the State of Alaska that has more information on this or has a school that already does preschool?
I know they can't mandate preschool, however, there's this push to make sure 4 year olds are getting the fundamentals because a lot of the K's are struggling with what is now required.
Im interested in hearing more from ALASKA, Thanks, Sara in Nome, AK

I have just published my first children's book, and using my talents as a Reading Specialist have developed interdisciplinary activities, as well as before, during, and after reading activities for the classroom. There are vocabulary activities and opportunities for your students to write to me about the book and its characters. I am glad to respond to those letters at your request. A physical disability permits me from teaching in the classroom anymore, so I am reaching out to students this way. The main goal of this book is also the part of my job I miss the most: instilling a love of reading and learning in each student. I can visit your classroom by Skype, if you wish, and our website is about to go online. There, you will be able to access the acitivities I spoke of earlier. The obok is called Harley Hits a Homer, and I am so pleased with the positive way it is being received in the classrooms where it is being used. I'd love to hear from you if you think we could work together on this project. I'd love to hear from your classes and to interact with them. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Let's keep them reading, Tena

Sub pay is about $120 per day, but I could be wrong on that one. Its my best guess.

We seek experienced Early Childhood Education (ECE) Specialists to support Head Start and Early Head Start programs to ensure high quality Head Start services in accordance with the Head Start performance standards and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. The Early Childhood Education Specialist will offer training and support to Head Start programs and local early childhood professionals, teachers, home visitors and education managers and share information about relevant resources available in the state. The Specialist will work with the programs to correct deficiencies relating to program design and management, governance, fiscal systems, educational parental and family engagement, health and nutrition, mental health, oral health. The Early Childhood/Specialist will engage programs in dialogue and learning of best practices for children from birth to three and from three to five and encourage a culture of learning that promotes school readiness. This position is home-based and will involve travel to programs within the state of Alaska.
The program, which was initiated by The Society in the spring of 2010, offers funds to elementary and secondary school teachers to develop innovative curricula, projects and other classroom activities about Turkey. The Society’s first Curriculum Development Grant was awarded to Harry A. Dawe, former Headmaster of Robert College in Istanbul and current history teacher and college counselor at the Fieldston Upper School in Bronx, New York. Mr. Dawe received support for History 181: East Meets West, for which he developed course material and two chapters of a history text book for use with eleventh and twelfth graders.
Grants vary between $250 and $2,500, and cover the costs of research, materials, speakers, and other expenses incurred by the school or the teacher. The amount of each grant is determined by the project’s scope, the availability of total funds, and the number of projects selected through a competitive process. The American Turkish Society encourages all applicants to identify additional sources of funding where possible. Once selected, grantees will be free to develop their proposed projects without editorial input from The Society. They will, however, participate in follow-up activities for evaluation purposes and will be asked to share any teaching plans, materials and activities with The American Turkish Society for future dissemination.
Application Process Spring Semester, 2011
Application deadline: November 1 Notification: December 1
Please submit proposals including:
1. A 2-page summary of the proposed project detailing the tools, materials, and methods to be used; the objectives and anticipated impact; and the teacher's relevant qualifications; 2. A project budget, including a detailed breakdown of costs and the grant amount requested; 3. The teacher’s CV; and 4. A letter of support from the teacher’s school.
Interested parties should send proposals to The American Turkish Society at [email removed].
For questions and additional information, please email [email removed].
