Looking for Montessori trained teachers for all levels (0- 3,3-6,6-9) to teach at an international Montessori school in Beijing, China. Immediate openings. We offer competitive salary and benefits.
I am a web developer in Washington, DC who is ready for a career change. I think I am interested in becoming a Kindergarten teacher, but I have no idea how to go about this.
I left college during the internet boom to learn the web, so I have a little more than half of a Journalism Degree and 10 years of publishing experience. I also ran a small record label and am now a collage artist.
Anyway, where do I start? Do I have to go and finish my degree or are there some certification programs I could start with so that I could be an aide or teacher while I go back to school.
Hello, My name is Kristen I live outside of Niagara Falls NY and I am helping my daughter's 3rd grade teacher organize a project. I am in need of willing participants. The project will consist of each participating class to make 16 paper gingerbread men, depicting facts about the area or state that you live in. I will include a link at the end of this email to a site that I got this idea from. This shows examples of gingerbread men they had received while doing a similar project. Then those 16 will be sent out, one to each of the participating schools from all around the country. This will teach the students many different skills including geography, map skills, writing and social studies. A bulletin board can be made with a map and when the gingerbread men are received, a map marker can be placed from that school. We will need 17 schools to participate, since you wouldn't send one to your own school. The students can brainstorm, research, and create the gingerbread men individually or as a group. If you are interested all I will need from you is your school address, and your name, so that I can give a list of class names to all participants. If you are not interested, please share this idea with another third grade teacher. I would like to get this project started right after Thanksgiving, so that the gingerbread men can be mailed out by December 10th. If you are interested please email me back by November 12th. This will allow for other classes to be contacted if you cannot participate. Here is the link to the similar project to give you a better idea. [link removed]

If you already filled out the survey, thanks for your assistance and please dismiss this message.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to investigate teachers’ perceptions of technology integration in the workplace as it relates to their self-confidence in computer use, their preparation in formal and informal technology courses in teacher education programs from which they have graduated, and administrative and technical support in their workplace.
Benefits: The findings could be used by teacher educators to revise technology courses and by K-12 school administrators to reconsider necessary support of technology integration for teachers’ practices.

Procedures to be Followed: You as a teacher are invited to participate in the study by completing a web-based survey. You will also be asked about your willingness to participate in a possible telephone interview. You do not have to agree to being interviewed in order to complete the survey.
If interviewed, you will be asked more detailed questions about your opinion on the type of experiences you had regarding technology integration during your teacher preparation program, whether you feel that you were adequately prepared, how you have used technology in your classroom, and your perception of the administrative and technical support that you have at your school.
Duration: The survey will take approximately 20 minutes of your time. The interview, if conducted, will take approximately 30 minutes.
Risks: There are no risks in participating in this study beyond those experienced in everyday life.
Compensation: There is no compensation for participating in this study.
