At Last!A Reading Method for EveryChild

by Jared

Jun 27, 2014

Wasn't the Subject book adopted in Georgia a few years ago? Are there any reviews on it?

I have been told that it takes out the confusion of teaching reading and reduces it to its simplest terms. Also includes lots of reinforcement ideas and motivation activities. Has anyone applied it in their classroom?

I have applied through the Gwinnett County web site for well over 30 positions beginning at the end of May. I have emailed resumes and mailed hard cop...See More

TeachGwinnett Hi- I'm totally having the same problem trying to get an interview With a gcps elementary but I think my issue is because I need to be hired to go through the TeachGwinnett program. I resigned from my position as a paralegal after 15 years and starting subbing in Gwinnett, passed GACE and have been applying online and emailing principals everyday. ...See MoreHi- I'm totally having the same problem trying to get an interview With a gcps elementary but I think my issue is because I need to be hired to go through the TeachGwinnett program.

Most principals do not seem to know much about how the Teach Gwinnett program works and I think that's part of my problem. :-( trying hard to stay positive. I know I have a lot to offer. A

Can someone please respond to my earlier post about breaking contracts in GA?

I broke a contact with DeKalb County four years ago because of my commute each day. They did not report it to anyone, but they did say I could not apply to come back for three years. I hope this helps.

I work in a "alternative educational setting" not a traditional school. We currently have only 3 out of 8 teachers returning, the "school" has gotten so bad.

I would love to leave as I have oth...See More

I accepted a teaching contract at a school, but now we lost a position and a tenured teaching is taking my spot. Can they really let go of me when I've already signed a teaching contract?
