The training takes from 4 to 6 hours and we provide all of the training materials. Then, we would like for you to volunteer to attend the event. We already have a couple of retired teachers that are going to help us this year. We will hold a training for all of the teachers that will volunteer. Then, you will be ready to train the students.
There are over 500,000 Medicare beneficiaries in the State of Arkansas. There are six people in our division. You may go to [link removed].
I am organizing a POSTCARD EXCHANGE for the upcoming school year 2009-2010. I would like it very much to have successful turnout of all the states (provinces and territories are welcome!). My classes and I have enjoyed this experience tremendously over the years.
This project works well when all participants hold up to their promise. I would like one participant from each of the 50 states and DC. In addition, anybody who teaches in Canada feel free to join just inquire!
This will be on a first come, first serve. I will have all info ready mid to late September and email every so often with updates.
If you are interested and willing to make the commitment, please provide the following information:
I am currently a MAT student at an Arkansas univesity. I have passed all of my Praxis exams with no problem on the first try. My background checks are fine. I have even tutors to receive extra teaching experience. I have good grades. I have even been selected by the Thurggod Marshall/Bill Gates Foundation as one of the best student teachers in the nation.
But, when I apply for a teaching job in Arkansas, all that doesn't mean a hill of beans. I can't get a teaching job. During interviews, I have had school officials to tell me: 1. I was TOO SMART to be a teacher. (My personal favorite!!! And yes, their school district is on academic distress.) 2. Only if you coached football, you see we reserve all of our social studies positions for men ((I actually considered getting my coaching endorsement seeing that I tutor the football team at my university!) 3. If only I was willing to get my cerification in math, science, special ed, home ec. or any other area besides history, I could offer you a job. When I explain I would be willing to receive the extra certification, they tell me because my background is political science, it would be hard for me to get the needed lic. (I then wonder why did you ask me then?)
The list goes on.........Two of my classmates have moved to other states. Another is cosidering filing a discrimination suit.

We would love Arizona to join a Christmas card exchange! If your school is able to participate in an exchange that may include religious cards, please join us! A very exciting way to enjoy the season! All directions will be passed on to you. All levels are welcome. Ho, ho, ho!
