I've been teaching elementary in Utah for 10 years. Before that, I lived in Ft. Collins, CO for a year.

I took the state exam (the PLACE exam, I think it was called), got licensed and subbed, but moved before interviewing. Now we'd like to move back and are looking at rural (western CO) locations. I'm now in the process of renewing my license and we are taking a road trip to CO soon to visit some areas we like. Are we wasting our time? I know some of the popular districts are really hard to get into, but we're looking at rural areas. But I've noticed that even some of the smaller towns require the teacherinsight test. I've been researching that online and it seems ridiculous, according to people on a messageboard. Those who took it posted that the test didn't truly measure them as a teacher and their abilities. So now I'm nervous about this test. I'm "just" an elementary school teacher, but I have my masters degree and am ESL endorsed. I'm hoping that will help me gain employment. I'm already aware, based on the websites, that my salary will plummet nearly 30% by moving from the Salt Lake City valley to rural CO. But I am willing to suffer that by living in an area that I really happy with.
I used to teach art in Colorado and am now teaching in New Mexico and am making more money here. Anyway I own a house in Colorado and cannot find a job teaching Art so am here for the time being. I went on a lot of interviews in Colorado and was told I was almost chosen, but it is extremely competitve and hard.

Is anyone else as stressed out as I am with all the new responsibilities related to RTI?!?
Anyone know when the next one is? What should I expect if I attend?

Anyways, I know that this IS NOT true (you can check snopes.com), but it sure is funny....ENJOY!
=========================================================== This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School California staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine.
This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework.
The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children'sfailing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enoughschool work to pass their classes.
The outgoing message:
Hello!
You have reached the automated answering service of your school.
In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:
To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
To make excuses for why your child did not do his work - Press 2
To complain about what we do - Press 3
To swear at staff members - Press 4
To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed
in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5
If you want us to raise your child - Press 6
If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7
To request another teacher, for the third time this year - Press 8
To complain about bus transportation - Press 9
To complain about school lunches - Press 0
If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable
and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and
that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort:
Hang up and have a nice day!
If you want this in Spanish, move to a country that speaks it!
