I'm looking for an English teacher named Vonda Platt, or at least that is her maiden name. She moved to Colorado in the late 60's to teach. Vonda, if you read this, I would like to hear from you. I was in your class at Monterey High School in Lubbock, Texas. If anyone knows Vonda, please let her know that one of her former students would like to hear from her. Sam King
Does anyone know anything about the Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, CO? I am researching charter schools in the area and can't seem to find a great deal of information regarding teacher satisfaction, salary, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have taught this last year at The Academy. What would you like to know? My observation is that teachers are generally satisfied with administrative and parent support and the quality of education they are able to provide. Salaries are (as is true with most charter schools) lower than the public school scale.
This administrator's tool continues to grow and expand. If you are a school principal and looking for help with your everyday forms, letters, etc.- please feel free to use PrincipalsPage.com.
Each day we receive more free resources from school administrators who are willing to share their knowledge.

My husband and I live in Florida. He is a Senior Systems Engineer, and I an elementary teacher. Our daughter is 8, and has been fully included, and presently in a varying exceptionality classroom and getting her supports through therapies and resource classrooms.
We are looking a district 20 as the are for purchasing a house.

I teach 5th grade in Florida and I am trying to start a postcard exchange for my class. I am looking for a class that **promises** to participate. It is so fun and any elementary grade can do it. I am accepting the first teacher from each state that emails me. It is super easy and fun!
All you have to do is request that each parent send in 2 stamped postcards that have your state name on it. Then when the due date comes, you have your students write facts about your state's climate, what it is famous for, etc. In return you will also get a postcard from each state. The kids LOVE getting the mail and you can do so much with it.
If interested, please email me at gator.[email removed]!
I am applying for certification in Colorado and I am not sure how my certification will be handled. I am currently certfied in Texas Early Childhood thru Fourth grade. When I looked at Colorado certifications Early Childhood and Elementary Education is broken up into two separated certification areas. Can anyone tell me how does Colorado handle this. I would not like to just be certified in ECE. Thanks in advance.
I'll only add that it takes forever (I'm at week 11-1/2) to get your license from CDE...Be sure to get the name of the person you talk to if you call them. It used to be you could get a different answer from each new person you talked to but that was YEARs ago...

What is the demand for art teachers? Where? Relocating from New Jersey with a Masters in Art, wonderful presence with children. Enthusiastic and seriously looking. Any advice?
I just happened to look at this area of the board (not in my usual group)tonight and thought I'd fill you in on the CS area.
There have been a few postings this spring and summer. I've known 2 art teachers that have been looking--both have interviewed several times. So far only one has gotten a new job and I don't even know yet if it is in Art.
Good luck.
