I am trying to find a local supply of Crayola tempera paint. No one seems to sell it anymore. It has superior qualities- rich velvety paint with excellent color mixing. I used to be an art teacher and used this extensively. The new brands are all mixed with gel and you cannot get the beautiful mixed colors and surface texture of the old Crayola. Does anyone know where to buy the Crayola locally? Judy

I work for a company called CRC and we provide incentive items to schools for their state eduactional tests. I know in many states teachers get a bonus for the higher acheivement of their pupils. I was wondering if this is true in Colorado?
Is it possible to obtain a high school or middle school teaching job in Colorado with only a B.A. in Mathematics? If it is how would I go about trying to find a job?

Do you have experience in the work force outside of teaching? If so, contact Jack Kronser in HR at Douglas County, who has publicly stated that he prefers to hire people with "real world" (non-teaching) experience over those who are "only" teachers.
If you have no experience at all, contact the charter schools. Many of these are willing to hire teachers who have no education or experience at all. and will be delighted to hire a teacher with a BA in any field.
My class will be reading the story the Gingerbread Man and doing a project with it. I am asking if anyone would mind assisting with this... if you would like to please email me at [email removed].
Project letter: My name is the Gingerbread Man, my friend in CLass 2H was reading a story about me and i jumped out of the storybook to visit you. My friend at school is wondering where I have run to. Please help them by sending them a picture postcard showing them the area where you live. This postcard will be posted on a large map of the world outside of my classroom. This will help the children by showing them how different parts of the world look. I know my friends will enjoy hearing from you and learning where I have run! Thank you for your help! Got to go! The Gingerbread Man

I am getting ready to start the Masters in Elementary Education program at University of Phoenix. I desperately need to work during school, hence the choice of U of P. Before I give this place $16000 of money I really don't have, I want to make sure that I can get hired.
Do you know of or are a teacher with a degree from U of P? Have you (or your friends) had any problem getting a job - due to the degree? Better yet, are you a principal that has considered hiring teachers from U of P?
BTW, my BS degree is in Biology from a regular University...
I, too, have an undergrad degree from a traditional school. A very respected school at that. And, because we are a military family, I cannot stay at a traditional University to earn my masters and credential. I have always wanted to teach, so the degree program from U of P is the most viable option. Mark, it is very discerning to hear some one speak so defiantly about hiring some one based solely on where they earned their degree as opposed to what they offer as a teacher. I am planning to start the U of P program next month and it will take 23 continuous months to complete. Don't kid yourself that it is any easier than a traditional University-it's simply a more technological format of learning. And, in the 23 months I will be required to spend 100 hours in classrooms observations as well as 12 weeks student teaching. I am determined to earn my degree so that I can pursue the career that I really want-teaching. If that means working my butt off to get a degree online, that's what I'm going to do. I only hope that when I begin interviewing, the interviewers are understanding and look beyond where I earned my MA, to what I can offer their students.

You will be just fine. Believe it or not, many people did not question my degree. They saw that I was "certified" to teach and asked me questions suited for job requirements. Good luck with your program. I know it is a lot of work since I have completed my degree. However, stick with it and you will be excited about your career as a teacher. I know I am.

I've been seriously thinking about changing careers for some time and getting into high school teaching, but I don't know if I can afford it. I tought EFL in the Peace Corps so I do have enough experience to know I enjoy teaching. However, after reading some of the posts on this site, I'm feeling quite discouraged. There is no way I can afford to work part time subbing for year. Is it really that hard to find a teaching job in Colorado? What is the average wait time and how do people support themselves until they're hired? I can't imagine you can support yourself subsituting. Also what are the most competitive areas for high school teachers. I'm considering going for certification in either social studies, Foreign Language (Spanish) or ESL. I'm guessing it's fiercely competitive for foreign language teachers, but would like to confirm. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks for the information. That makes me feel ever so slightly better. Does anyone know about the competition for foreign language (Spanish) teachers?
I am a NYS certified history teacher (my husband is a NYS English teacher) and we are seriously thinking about moving our family to Colorado. What I want to know is something that only a teacher living and working in Colorado can tell me...what is it like teaching in Colorado? What's the salary like? What are the job opportunities like? Do you enjoy a good lifestyle or is the salary low that you have to do without most of the time? What's the pension plan like and the health benefits? I know these are too many questions, but any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!!!
K.H.I have heard that Douglas County has a "test" that you have to take when you apply for a licensed position. Does anybody know what kind of test it is? I have heard it is a personality test and that you won't get a call back if you don't pass. Is this true? Thanks for your help

Found a fantastic new chapter-book series for ages 7-9 that the kids in my class are thrilled about. It's called the Incredible Journey Books and it has fast-paced worldly adventures filled with geography facts. The plots are interesting and the series has done the trick to get my third-grade class interested in exploring the world map. The books have a great site that has an Africa unit along with puzzles to go with each book. Go to [link removed].
I take the PLACE test: ART in 2 months. I have not started anything yet! I am also planning my wedding right now and teaching full time! I focused on Ceramics in high school and college and that is what I teach now. I have only done the basics in other art mediums and am scared to death about failing the PLACE TEST. I don't know where to begin studying. Does anyone have any ideas on how to study for the art test? I am looking into those study guides they sell on the internet, but am worried I will spend a lot of money for no reason. HELP!!!!!
