I am considering moving from Georgia to Illinois. In Georgia, I am certified to teach PreK-5th grade. Does anyone know what certification level that will translate to in Illinois? Will it be Birth-3rd grade or will it be Kindergarten-9th grade?
Thanks! :)
Is the only way to have a PAID maternity leave through CPS (district 299) is by using one's sick days which accrue from year to year? I know all about the FMLA, which is UNpaid. I want to know how to get paid time off for maternity leave. One can only use sick days is my understanding. Is this correct? Thanks!!

How many days can you sub in a district with a teaching certificate? Next question how many days can you sub in a district with just a sub certificate? What can be done if you sub over the amount of days for the district? I think it's 120 if you have a teaching certificate and 90 days for a sub certificate. I am not sure.

The goal is for teens around the world to post and discuss poetry related to the teenage experience in the 21st century (their hopes, dreams, burdens, joys, etc.) I am calling it one billion b/c there are about 1 billion teens in the world, so I believe that that means there are potentially one billion teen poets. Below, I am copying the about us page.
It's not for profit, and all the teachers have to do is show the kids the site.
I am very excited as it's been only a few days and people from 14 countries and 27 states in The US have been on site. I already have members from South Africa, England, Hong Kong, and the Bahamas. I have posted on numerous education and librarian listservs. It's been great as kids I don't know from the Bronx are connecting with each other.
I hope you enjoy and that you let your students know and encourage them to join. Please share with your colleagues and teacher friends all over.
Thank you so much.
Best, Alex Trivas
Approximately one billion people in the world are teenagers. Therefore, there are approximately one billion teenage poets in the world, young adults who can inspire and shape the world through their writing. Teenagers are often labeled as disaffected, disgruntled, and disengaged. However, we see numerous teens around the around the world striving to effect positive change. And frankly, if you are feeling a bit disaffected, that's okay too. The world is complex and tough, and it can be doubly so for teens. One elixir for the disillusionment and frustrations we face is the potency of poetry. Focusing on the four following prompts: Where I'm From, What I Carry, Why I Laugh, and What I Wish, One Billion Poets invites all aspiring poets to connect with each other and to share and reflect on each other's poems. We hope you will all see that although we certainly come from very diverse backgrounds-- sometimes extraordinarily different-- we all share many of the same dreams, burdens, loves, hopes, and emotions. Whether you live in Tunisia or Detroit, Moscow or Mexico City, we believe you all have something salient and beautiful to say about the teenage experience in the 21st century.

As far as the certification issue, this will likely depend upon your education. If you have an Early Childhood background, then you will likely get the Type 04 P-4 cert. If you're more elementary oriented, it will likely be the Type 03 K-5. Bare in mind that the middle school 6-8 (with the possible inclusion of 9) endorsement must be earned by taking specific middle school classes.
Honestly ISBE probably won't be able to accurately answer your question until you submit your credentials for review.
I was wondering what Kensington Schools teachers make. Specifically, one who has a 4 yr degree and 10+ years working with children in preschool and elementary schools. Thanks in advance!
