I'm currently in the United States with the intention of contact with teachers who could be interested in making an educational project for the next academic course 2011-2012, so that science students from Malaga and USA could make a collaborative work and establish a rewarding relationship, using the new technologies.
I´ve already done a science project to enable our students to meet students from another country, while working together and improve their science skills.
If you are interested, I could sent you the project and we could change it, since it´s a flexible project.
I´d like to have the opportunity, also, to visit some schools in Usa to learn about the U.S. educational system, the methodologies used, the available resources ... Would appreciate someone gives me the opportunity to make a visit to your school.
My email address is: [email removed]
Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about it.
Come to H St. this Saturday May 28th at 9 PM for the Hot for Teachers Comedy Show. Put together by a collection of local comics at SOVA Expresso & Wine, the show is all for charity and to benefit World Teach.
Unions didn't fight for school lunch programs, smaller class sizes, and services for special needs children? *Facepalm* All we do is bankrupt the country because our lazy college-educated selves don't want to work for $9.00/hour.
It's just demoralizing. I love my kids (I consider my students like family) and work hard for them, but much more of this and I'm out... if I'm not worth it to the country/state/parents then I'll leave with what dignity I have left before it's stolen from me.
I had parents volunteer this past year, they all left saying I great respect for you teachers. I could never do this job. After attending a trip with us, a father told me, you got this. I could never do this.
I also hate the fact that people who never taught in a primary grade become principals, CEOs and tell us how to do our job. They have not been in our shoes.

I am searching for my 1968 grade school teacher, Ms. ? Harley. She taught at Sumner Elementary School at 17th & M Streets NW, Washington DC. I'm guessing she would be in her late 70s now.

However, once the training institute began, there was nothing but lengthy assignment after assignment after assignment, all totally unreasonable and unnecessary. This combined with practice teaching in an unnecessarily strict cooperating teacher's summer school class, and attempting to secure actual teacher positions with DCPS principals; not to mention, if anything was erroneous with your assignments, you'd have yet another strict deadline on correcting it, all while trying to stay afloat with all the current heavy demands. All the planning, expenses, and assignments quickly became absolutely RIDICULOUS, esp. while attempting to live everyday life (and who doesn't have to do that). I may not be the best expert, but I'm also no fool-it does not take all of that nonsense to hire/place capable,willing,intelligent individuals in DCPS as new teachers. Fortunately for me, I have another job offer that I'd accepted as it didn't conflict with the DCTF training institute. Please believe me, when I say I will very HAPPILY be transitioning into that in the next few weeks. At any rate, best of luck to all who dare. My advice, just make sure all the "headaches", lack of sleep, and lack of any other form of life outside of DCPS/DCTF is truly worth it. In other words, if I were you, I definitely wouldn't compromise or sacrifice anything important for this “so called wonderful opportunityâ€. You may be still saying, "but I'm resilient..." I said the same thing, and I still feel that way; just not enough t to begin accepting lunacy in this instance as though it's okay.
