Arkansas DOE hasn't set the final version in stone as to how to highly qualify out of state teachers. A few districts are going on their own using their own methods. It's not a great way to do it but at least some districts are doing something. Perhaps now that the holiday season is behind us and everyone should be back at work on a regular basis they will move foreward quickly and decisively.(Insert laugh track here.)

I recently received my degree in Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations and a minor in Marketing from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. I am wanting to receive my licensure for high school math education. I'm wanting advice on what would be my best route in achieving my licensure. I am also interested in teaching journalism. Any thoughts or ideas?
Hi, Haley! That is me exactly....I graduated from ASU with a B.S. in Journalism with an emphasis in public relations and a minor in marketing. At this point, I want to teach also. Check out the website [link removed]! :)
I'm writing from Australia. Is it true that in Arkansas maths and science teachers can earn substantially more than teachers of other subjects? Our federal education minister here has just announcded that she wants to copy the Little Rock scheme where maths/science teachers receive up to $12000 more for improving test results. Is this true? If so, does it work? I'd be really interested to know.
HELP! I have been asked to lead a 2-hour workshop on Arkansas History for a group of about 25 elementary teachers! I am in the middle school and petrified. Please send me any good lesson plans that you may have or links to sites that I might be able to use! I appreciate you! Jack/AR
I am a retired math teacher, and create and publish free math puzzles as a retirement project. These puzzles are being used by math teachers middle school up, military, etc., all over the world.
Some samples of these Learning Challenger math puzzles are now available for your classroom use at the following web site:

I trust you will find these products of value in using them with your students.

Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the head of the education committee. His name is Kent Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public education. There is a lady running against him this year who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb 21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the primary. Those of us who care about our children are asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or email their friends and family to ask them to vote for Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool, straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington, Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a great rest-of-the-year!

JJ, I still haven't figured out why this was posted here. I occasionally visit other state's chat boards, and this was posted on almost all of them. I don't get it either.

I'm looking for the current Edu Tech standards for Arkansas. All I've found is a plan from July of 2000, and an update in a Dept of Edu newsletter from February 2003. Is there anything newer? Or are these still the official standards?

OOps! Just realized I was on wrong board! Was talking to
friends in Arkansas and had that on my mind.
