Will we go to a four day school week?

by susan

Feb 22, 2009

I sat in on a meeting yesterday -with 3 reps from the state house and one senator. They think a 4 day school week and starting around Sept 1 is possible. -It would cut costs of transportation and as long as we lengthen the school day a bit we could do it....say 7:45-3:55. I know this would not fly with ele ed teachers.....but on high school terms.....See More

Are Teachers Needed in Indiana?

by Mark

Feb 26, 2009

Hi Folks, I've been teaching for 14 years in NJ and am considering relocating to Northeast Indiana, the Butler area perhaps. I'm wondering if teachers are needed in Indiana or if the market is flooded. Also, those of you who are veterans, how do you feel about the educational system in the state in general? Can anyone offer resources, in print or o...See More

Mark Thanks for the reply. I'm currently teaching Technology Education (mechanical drawing, engineering and design, and robotics engineering), prior to this position I taught computer science and very early in my career I was a 6th grade classroom teacher of all subjects except the specials. I also hold a Supervisor's license. Would you know if school d...See More

IN Teacher Most schools will cap you on experience as a teacher (5 years if you have 12 years, etc). Administrators usually get to negotiate on their salary. The Indiana Employment Relations Board has teacher contracts online.

Look on that DOE site under Technology Education. Computer instruction in Indiana is done by business teachers. CAD classes though, are done through Technology Ed.

Also, a vocational school for the schools of NE Indiana is located down the road on US 6 from Butler about 30 minutes in Kendallville. They may have a need for vocational instructors. Their site is [link removed]

If you go into Ohio, they have a vocational school in the other direction on US 6, also called Four County. It is about 30-45 minutes from Butler. Their site is [link removed]

The Ohio Schools are much smaller than IN schools, and often use the vocational school as their "vocational wing" so that is the best place to look there.

Good luck

Hi All, Just wanted to share a great site I was on to help me prepare from all of your wonderful hints. I typed in art terms in a search engine and came up with this. It's a dictionary, plus samples of artists and their works. Good luck all...I am on my 2 week countdown! Hopefully with everyone's great tips, I will be successful. [link removed] ...See More

Praxis II Art 10133

by Betty

Feb 28, 2009

I have read many of the posts, and the suggested book of choice seems to be, Annotated Mona Lisa. I looked on Amazon and there are specific books for the Art 10133 test. Anyone try them? They seem to be fairly specific to the test. Any suggestions? Thanks

Spanish Books

by Diane

Mar 5, 2009

Which Spanish books are you using and why do you like them or dislike them? Last year's teacher failed to place a request for books and I'm left using very old Paso a Paso books. I'd like to ask my administration to retro order books but want to make the best decision (I know, we're all different, but I have no idea what's available). Thanks, Diane

Actually, I did not get any money to cover new books. I am still using the Paso a Paso series with all my kids. I've had to do classroom set as there are simply not enough to go around any more. Their condition is deteriorating fast. I am not able to order any more workbooks, either, so I copy pages (shhh, did...See More

Olive Cynthia,

Is 0133 the only Praxis Art exam you are required to take? Are you going to take 0132 and 0131?

Second Time???? Any Help

by GS

Mar 8, 2009

It has been several years since my art history courses in college. I missed the January Art Content 0133 by 2 points. How many versions of 0133 are there? Would there be a chance that I will get the same questions? I need some last minute ideas to help get me over the top! Please help!

Justme See if your library has the Annotated Mona Lisa or Art History for Dummies. The Annotated Mona Lisa is the shorter of the two. View parts of it online at googlebooks: [link removed]

GS My library has a book called -ART Over 2,500 works from cave to contemporary-foreword by Ross King - it is very helpful.....I have reviewed the test setup and practice test from the praxis study guide. I also looked at every question's 4 answer choices, looking up the ones I was not sure of. Good Luck!
