We would love to have a teacher from DC join us for our 2013-14 postcard exchange! It is a fun, educational activity for all ages! My kindergarten class has loved getting mail and listening to the fun facts about the states! We have classes from K-6 participating. Please email me for more information!
My daughter and I are visiting Washington DC in October. Can anyone give us information about good Restaurants near the capital, and airport area Crystal City where we are staying our last night close to the airport. Also, main attractions we should visit. Thank you for your help.
Do you want an opportunity to take part in research that could positively impact your students and your classroom? By participating in our short survey, you will be helping us collect data for a study investigating obstacles and feasibility of psychological recommendations. Because these scenarios may be similar to what you have seen in your classroom, your input is very valuable! Once you complete the survey, you will be eligible for a $25 gift certificate to reallygoodstuff.com. Please feel free to pass this along to your teacher friends and co-workers as we need as many responses as we can get! All responses are completely confidential and participation is optional. Thank you!

what is it like to work in dc public schools for a special ed teacher, paperwork, kids, administratin..Also which schools are best to work in in northern va? any feedback
I'm an experienced teacher from Chicago looking to move to DC and work for DCPS next year because my wife has received an employment offer in Washington. I hold a couple of certifications typically viewed as "shortage fields," so I think I should be able to get a job teaching either with DCPS or one of the nearby MD or VA schools.
However, before my wife got this job opportunity, I was about to start a program in educational leadership that would eventually lead to certification as a school administrator. Obviously that is on hold now, but I would like to eventually pursue that opportunity in DC and perhaps work for DC public schools as an administrator down the road.
My question is: if a teacher moves into an administrative job, does he/she continue to contribute to the DC teacher's retirement system? It is that way in Illinois, but I can't find any information regarding DC. This might impact where I seek employment now as that I do want to be an administrator within five years, and don't want to waste the credit I earn in the DC system if I am not earning a pension.
