lease I would appreciate any teachers with the experience of 3, 5, 10 & 15 years of experience to participate in answersing these questions. I only need 4 more teachers, one with 3 yrs exp, 5 yrs, 10 yrs, and 15 yrs. Thank you in advance.

1. As student achievement and a greater understanding of curriculum have become more relevant, what are some ways you have found to apply curriculum to previous knowledge? 2. Technology seems to be the way in which education is steering itself. Some believe that technology can lead the way and eventually produce better schools, while others believe that there may be long-term consequences that are not being considered in the rush to use technology. What are your thoughts on this issue? 3.

The "being taught by out-of field teachers is not germane to poor areas.

There was an opening in my home district for a math teacher. I have a B.A. in math, and will be attending graduate school this fall for my M.A. in General Math. I wasn't even looked at for the position in this rural district in a somewhat upscale neighborhood. I bet if I were an engineering major with a whopping 30 credits in math instead of my 48, they would have rolled out the red carpet. Chances are, I'll be working in an inner city school in the fall.

Last September, I was offered a position in Fairfield County, put passed due to the distance consideration. I'm still waiting for Hartford to call me for an interview. (They must be busy whining about the "math teacher shortage")

So, the "you get the better teachers in the 'burbs" is a bunch of B.S.)
