I'm a local representative for a non profit called Forte International Exchange Association. I get to find host families for international exchange students to spend a school year or semester with creating incredible experiences and memories. I am hoping you can help me spread the word, exchange ideas, connect me with events and groups, etc! Would love to show the students how special North Idaho is!
Right now, ISO fun and loving host families (Single household, kids or not, any family) for 2019-2020 school year! If you or your organization refer a host family you can earn $100 too!
Students from these countries ready to be placed:
• Denmark
• Spain
• Germany
• Thailand
• Brazil
Right now we have students looking to engage in sports (football, basketball, cheer leading), music (drums, piano, etc.) and students who would like to be involved in photography & film-making, volunteering, hiking and camping, and so much more! I know there is a perfect fit in the community somewhere!
Message or email me for more info about how to host a student.
by Difficult to find teaching positon in HS Chem / Phys?
Jan 28, 2016
Hi, Is it difficult to find a teaching position in ID at a good district? Some states are crawling all over each other for teachers while other states don't have any openings. Where does ID stand? Is it hard getting a teaching position in HS Physical Science?

Greetings from northern Idaho. I live in beautiful Bonners Ferry, Idaho, close to the Canadian border. We have wide open spaces, beautiful scenery, and friendly people in our area.
I am a first grade teacher and am using the four block framework. I would love to hear from other people living in Idaho.

It is beautiful here; lakes, forests, etc. BUT.......I love the mountains and the wilderness. Can anyone suggest a particular area in Idaho to vacation in the summer where my family could see moose and elk? We have tons of deer in Wisconsin, but unfortunately, no moose. Also, I am interested in finding out about job openings in Idaho. My husband is an art teacher. We are curious as to the pay scale in Idaho. Any information from anyone would be appreciated. If any teacher has a home in the mountains that would be interested in swapping a week for our home in northwest Wisconsin, let us know. We can talk about it!
I am a 3/4 combination teacher in Arco, Idaho. I am learning about Four Blocks but haven't been brave enough to start it. I have felt overwhelmed with being "new" to third and fourth grades. I really would like to use 4B next year regardless of grade level. I have most of the books. Any combination teachers out there?
Help! I am a first year teacher in Idaho. Today I was asked if I would support closing school on Tuesday and being in a rally on the legis. steps in Boise. I understand the issues, but I'm scared, don't know what this means or what to do. Feeling pressured to go out. Boy, I never that I'd be dealing with this my first year along with a cart and 160 freshmen! Any advice? Thanks

Tip to use Alejandro's books in the classroom: Several schools are using Alejandro's books, "books written by a peer", as following: 1.- they give the students a chapter to read 2.- they discuss the chapter in class 3.- they ask the kids to write something similar based on their own personal experiences.
What part of Texas? I'm from Waco, but I will be moving to Idaho in
