Pre-K Teacher Summer Unemployment

by Jennifer Smith

Apr 30, 2013

I am a Lead Pre-K teacher in a private center. Since I will not be teaching this summer (and have a 10 month contract), would I be eligible for unemployment benefits for the summer? I will be teaching again in this center beginning in August for the next school year. Thanks!

Pre-K Lady It wouldn't hurt to try and file unemployment, but you may not qualify if your center required you to sign a contract.

Does anyone know what GACE tests I have to take to teach Georgia Pre-K Four? I was told 001 and 002. There is a lot of algebra and geometry on that which I find very strange for Pre-K.

teachermom Look it up on GAPSC or GACE web site. By the way, August 2013 may be thr last test day for taking GACE. Then GA is reverting back to Praxis. Again, look up GAPSC/GACE sites for correct info.

Becoming a Media Specialist

by Jill S.

May 9, 2013

Does anyone know if I have to enroll in a program to become a media specialist or if I can just simply pass the GACE to become qualified for the position? Thank you in advance!

GA SpEd It takes a masters degree, plus passing the GACE. Be certain to choose a program for school media specialists. There is a different program for public/university librarians.

TRS and Teacher Contract

by Anonymous

May 11, 2013

Hello,

I had been out of teaching for the past year and withdrew my TRS account and just cashed it out by receiving a refund of contributions. I figured since I was staying out of the state, I would find something somewhere else. That didn't pan out either. So after going through the process of getting the refund, I got an email out of the...See More

Ed Wynn You can buy back your years too when you can. I did the same thing years ago.

Anonymous Thank you very much for your responses. That is what I have been looking for. I have just been mailed my contract, does anyone know how I have to get it mailed back to the school system also for years of verification, do I send just one to the last system I worked for or do I need to send one to each school I have worked for to provide verification...See More

Hello. Does anyone know if my salary will be reduced if I take an elementary teaching position even if my masters degree is not in early childhood education? My masters degree is in secondary education and I have been teaching middle/high school for over 12 years.

If I take the Early Childhood Education GACE and pass it, am I qualified to get a teaching position in an elementary school in Georgia? I am already a (current) certified teacher for grades 6-12 English/ESOL. Thanks!

Is getting media specialist certification worth it? I have heard that the jobs are both hard to get and starting to disappear due to layoffs, etc.... Any advice out there?
