Hello. I am currently a student in Education at KU. I was wondering if Kansas had any debt resolution programs where you can teach in a poor area for several years and get some/all of your college loans paid off? I know this exists in other states, I hope it does here. Does anyone know?
Sorry, I do not know the answer to your question. Would student services at KU have that info? Or, perhaps, check the KSDE web site. [link removed]
Not much help but I did want you to get a response on this board.

Click on the Survey Section and proceed to take the online survey. Our goal with this research study is to find answers as to why teachers stay in education for more than twenty years.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Due to recent developments, the Baldwin Wallace College Research Team has decided to expand our research study. The original concept of the study was to find answers as to why secondary educators stay in the teaching field for more than 20 years. However, due to the overwhelming response from participants and observers of the study, a new more significant development has revealed itself. Our research team is now progressively moving towards the development of a significant grounded theory for a qualitative-quantitative study. More details on this new development will be shared in the upcoming weeks on our website.
Our research team is still accepting surveys from Secondary Teachers with more than 20 + years of experience. The data collected thus far, and in the future will be a factor in the overall study. The deadline for the completion of our online survey is November 4, 2004. I urge any secondary teacher with 20 + yrs of experience to take the survey. The survey consists of ten questions and no personal data has to be given. The data from the survey is directly sent to the researchers. The survey can be taken in eight different languages included English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Japanese, and Chinese.
Come join us. Be a part of educational research history. Let your voice be heard along with the many teachers from around the world who have participated. Thank You.

Looking for Montessori trained teachers for all levels (0- 3,3-6,6-9) to teach at an international Montessori school in Beijing, China. Immediate openings. We offer competitive salary and benefits.
Hi, my husband is most likely going to be transferred to KA towards the end of this school year. I'm a TX girl and am interested in hearing what it's like to teach in KS. I teach 5th grade and here it is test, test, test, test. We are told what to teach and when, then tested on it. I hope it's a little less test oriented in Kansas. I have 32 fifth graders in a self-contained class. How are class sizes there? Also, how difficult is it to get a teaching job? I've been teaching eight years and am recognized as a good teacher in my community, but I am over 40 and sometimes principals like the younger girls. Thanks for any info you care to share!
Thanks for all the info. I truly appreciate it. It's looking pretty certain that he'll be transferred there in March and we will join him when school is out and we sell our house. I've been researching Olathe on the internet and it looks like a GREAT place to live.

You'll love the Olathe area and the school district is great. Lots of prof. development opportunities too.
Hello, My name is Kristen I live outside of Niagara Falls NY and I am helping my daughter's 3rd grade teacher organize a project. I am in need of willing participants. The project will consist of each participating class to make 16 paper gingerbread men, depicting facts about the area or state that you live in. I will include a link at the end of this email to a site that I got this idea from. This shows examples of gingerbread men they had received while doing a similar project. Then those 16 will be sent out, one to each of the participating schools from all around the country. This will teach the students many different skills including geography, map skills, writing and social studies. A bulletin board can be made with a map and when the gingerbread men are received, a map marker can be placed from that school. We will need 17 schools to participate, since you wouldn't send one to your own school. The students can brainstorm, research, and create the gingerbread men individually or as a group. If you are interested all I will need from you is your school address, and your name, so that I can give a list of class names to all participants. If you are not interested, please share this idea with another third grade teacher. I would like to get this project started right after Thanksgiving, so that the gingerbread men can be mailed out by December 10th. If you are interested please email me back by November 12th. This will allow for other classes to be contacted if you cannot participate. Here is the link to the similar project to give you a better idea. [link removed]

If you are a K-12 teacher in the United States, you are invited to participate in a study titled “Teacher Perception of Technology Integration in the Workplace: A National Study.” If you teach in a teacher education program, please feel free to forward this invitation to any graduates that you think might be interested in participating in this study. If you already filled out the survey, thanks for your assistance and please dismiss this message.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to investigate teachers’ perceptions of technology integration in the workplace as it relates to their self-confidence in computer use, their preparation in formal and informal technology courses in teacher education programs from which they have graduated, and administrative and technical support in their workplace.
Benefits: The findings could be used by teacher educators to revise technology courses and by K-12 school administrators to reconsider necessary support of technology integration for teachers’ practices. The benefits to you in participating in the study are receiving a copy of a summary of the study results.
Procedures to be Followed: You as a teacher are invited to participate in the study by completing a web-based survey. You will also be asked about your willingness to participate in a possible telephone interview. You do not have to agree to being interviewed in order to complete the survey.
If interviewed, you will be asked more detailed questions about your opinion on the type of experiences you had regarding technology integration during your teacher preparation program, whether you feel that you were adequately prepared, how you have used technology in your classroom, and your perception of the administrative and technical support that you have at your school.
Duration: The survey will take approximately 20 minutes of your time. The interview, if conducted, will take approximately 30 minutes.
Risks: There are no risks in participating in this study beyond those experienced in everyday life.
Compensation: There is no compensation for participating in this study.
Voluntary Participation/Alternative: Your participation in this project is voluntary. You have the right to withdraw at any time. You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to answer. The alternative is not to participate.
Statement of Confidentiality: Your responses will be confidential to ensure that they cannot be linked to you personally. Any personal information you provide that is linked to your name will be held in strict confidence when the data are presented in a written report.
