I am currently a teacher in NY and in the process of relocating to Connecticut. I was trying to find information about the types of benefits teachers receive. For example, do teachers in Connecticut get free health insurance or do teachers have money taken out of their pay check for health insurance? Thank you so much!

I majored in Math (45 credits), and am 029 certified.Do I just put down 18 credits for calculus (Calc 1-III, analysis, diffi-q's), or do I leave all of these blank, and assume that they're for elementary ed applicants?
Hi,
Does anyone know, or know where I could find information, about getting my certification for childhood/special ed in Connecticut with an out of state bachelors degree? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello. I am looking for a job teaching English LA in Connecticut. I have found a very tough job market in Fairfield County, and am looking further away from my area and am willing to move if I land a job.

I am looking for a job teaching English LA in Connecticut. I have found a very tough job market in Fairfield County, and am looking further away from my area and am willing to move if I land a job.
Just wondering if anyone has any good resources for teachers seeking jobs, other than CTReap, CEA.org, or k12jobspot (I only recently found about this last one!). Online or otherwise. I have not found the local newspapers to be very helpful.
Thank you in advance. If anyone knows of any districts or schools in need (even private schools) I would really appreciate hearing about them. So frustrated, I am certified with experience but spent the last year subbing.
Best to all,
Looking

I've been in the corporate world for what feels like forever. Although the pay is good, i've always felt a little empty working in the corporate world. I am 33 years old and have a wife and 8 month old daughter. I need an honest answer, however hard it may be to hear, but is it too late for me to become a teacher? I've always been good with math/ physics, and obivously technology. With an 8 month old daughter to support, how hard will the road be? i've read somewhere that there is a period of a year where you do not collect a paycheck while in the process of becoming a teaching in CT. Is this true?
Thanks, Charlie

In fact, the organization responsible for the resource, Peace One Day, recently toured schools in the north east and visited Glastonbury High in CT. I hear it was a great day and Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One Day, spoke with just under 1000 students all of whom seemed thrilled with the film! The school actually participated in our pilot program in December so we have a very good relationship with them. The resource can be previewed at [link removed]=
The free resource, created by UK non-profit organization, Peace One Day, aims to advance active learning in the areas of conflict resolution, global citizenship, human rights and the link between sustainability and peace, using the UN International Day of Peace 21 September as a focus.
The Resource provides 19 lesson plans and 26 classroom activities for exploring issues of peace, nonviolence, and the protection of the environment. The resources are linked to the documentary film, The Day After Peace, directed by POD founder, Jeremy Gilley. The film charts Jeremy’s journey to establish the first annual day of global ceasefire and nonviolence with a fixed calendar date; culminating with Jude Law accompanying Jeremy Gilley to Afghanistan to spearhead a massive vaccination against Polio on Peace Day, thus proving that the day works, the day saves lives. In April 8000 free copies of the film were delivered to schools encompassing grades 6 – 12 in the six New England States.
Each lesson plan refers to National standards and fit well within the frameworks of History/Social Studies, Civics and Government Studies, English/Language Arts, Environmental Science and more. To find out more about the educational resource and show your students what young people can do to make peace at school, in their community, and in the world at large, please go to [link removed].
