Literacy Collaborative has 150 interested enquiries. Placement is in DCPS w/ a 2 year commitment. The director has assurances with DCPS that they support systemic change. I like the sound of GW & Literacy Collaborative concepts but qustion DCPS, who did not represent themselves at the presentation. Any feedback? H A M B O N E
I would really appreciate your input for a book that my colleague and I are writing for teachers. This book will give teachers ways to help their students become engaged and motivated, as well as practical tools to deal with students difficulties in learning.
This is my first time posting a message here, and i dont know or not if its going to get read. However im not past giving this a shot because it might lead some where. Im interested in having someone in the academic community read a short book i wrote posted on my site at [link removed].
I am considering moving back to DC...can't get it out of my system. Since I left, I have become a certified ESL teacher and am working on getting my Moderate Disabilities cert as well. I am inclined to apply to DCPS, as I would love to work in the city. Friends tell me that with my certs I should have no trouble finding a job.
So tell me, DC teachers, just how bad is it? I have heard the horror stories of no pay for three months. I currently work in a district where I have to buy EVERYTHING (copy paper, books for students, etc), so that is no shock. I have worked in the worst (students) district in my state and loved it.
Is it worth applying to DC? Or will I be tearing my hair out in 5 minutes?

They continually told me that they lost hte paperwork while moving, Then I was told that they thought I had them and I would have to wait until the next checks were cut. I planned on leaving this school and I live on a very stict budget as well as take tutoring and babysitting jobs. > > > > > > On 4/25/06, DCSped wrote: >> If you really feel called to it .... go for it.

I quit working in DC as a Sped teacher adn I was wondering what other people said during interviews about why they quit their last job. Most people have said," Just tell them you worked in DC" they should understand.What do you think... any suggestions?
Hi, I've been accepted to teach special education in the DCTF Program. Why did you quit? What grade level did you teach? How large were your classes? I'm am very interested in hearing your response.

DCPS representatives are here in the Phils. recruiting teachers. Any advice on beginning teachers with regards to school districts which have good teaching condition. What school districts are not worth accepting the job offer. Your advice is very valuable. Thanks.

Hi, I have been accepted to teach special education for the DCTF program. I've been reading the post about the lack of support. I really would like to speak to someone about their experience. Please contact me at [email removed].
Why didn't they have the checks ready?
How did you eat? Did you have a part-time job?
