I have my Mo certification and have been teaching in Kansas City for the past 3 years. I am going to be getting married to a guy from Abilene, Ks this summer and was wondering what I need to do to get certified to teach in Kansas? Thanks.

I have a certificate in MO too. What I did is I contacted the dept of education in Topeka. They sent me paperwork to fill out and I had to get finger printed. It is actually very easy. Your transcripts must be sent from whatever school you went to. Check the web site. You can ask for the paperwork that way. That's what i did and got it in a couple of days. Good Luck.

Environmental Education at Campanario Eco Lodge and Biological Reserve
Environmental education for students of all ages !! !!
Proyecto Campanario's second mission is to promote environmental education to all who spend time at Campanario, both local and international visitors. Campanario offers 4 basic programs to accommodate different age levels, interests, and different lengths of stay. Please select the program best suited for you:
Ecological Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family group. Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or middle and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student Courses for university, high school, and middle school students. Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs.
"Give the gift of a nature trek to your family." Ecological Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family group. Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or middle and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student Courses for university, high school, and middle school students. Tropical Ecology Teachers? Programs.
"Get away for retreats and your own personal adventure." Enviromentally minded individuals, families, groups of friends, and corporate executives who want to plan their vacations, annual get-togethers and retreats are welcome at Campanario. You can spend your days hiking with our naturalists, or you might also choose to go fishing, kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling. Be sure to plan time for just relaxing on the beach or in a hammock. Our goal is to have you absorb as many of the sights, sounds, and smells of the rainforest as possible. A minimum of a 4-day, 3-night trip is necessary, but a 6-day, 5-night trip is recommended to more fully absorb the wonders of the area.
"Become involved in environmental education." Conservation Camps are special programs we've designed for families and middle and high school students. The camps are usually scheduled during school vacations and last 6 days and 5 nights. They are limited in size to ensure adequate instruction and supervision. Students of all ages participate in extensive hikes and workshops in the rainforest to appreciate all its wealth. Evening sessions look into the history of the area and discuss deforestation and other social pressures affecting the tropics.
Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs are designed to give hands-on experience to the active instructor who wants personal knowledge of the tropics to complement the area which he or she teaches. This rigorous program, which runs two weeks, includes most course materials, requires a small amount of pre-program reading, and assumes a basic understanding of biology on the part of the participant.
The program spends one week on site at the Proyecto Campanario facilities in the rainforest and another week traveling to different areas of Costa Rica for experience in other life zones. It is hoped that you, as a teacher, will take back to your students the understanding of the urgency to work together to conserve what is left of the tropical eco-systems.
Course Format
Two course formats are offered: a two week course and a 3 week course. Credit is offered at two levels (see below): (1) Professional Development and (2) Degree Applicable. Academic credit is given through Lewis and Clark College in Oregon.
New Schedule 2005 offer in June, July and August, Programs for Teachers Professional Development: Habitats and Culture of Costa Rica and Rainforest Conservation Camp.

Devereux is working on a research project that will directly impact the lives of many children around the country - we could really use your help!
We are asking parents and teachers of children in grades K- 8 to complete a short survey on positive behaviors exhibited by their child or student. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. In addition to helping contribute to this valuable research, Devereux is offering to donate $2.50 for each completed form to your choice of: the child's school, a Devereux treatment center, or to be reinvested into our research efforts.
You can help by doing any and all of the following things:
1. If you are a parent of a child/children currently in grades K-8, you can complete a survey online... use the link below.
2. If you are a teacher of grades K-8, you can fill out a form on 4 children in your class and/or you and we can talk about putting together a fundraiser for your school by getting other teachers to participate as well... use the link below.
3. You can forward this message along to your friends, family, and coworkers who are teachers or parents themselves, or who may be able to forward this message to parents and teachers all around the country.
4. If you have any connections to schools in your area, you can pass this along to them and send me their contact information so that we can talk about putting together a fundraiser for that school by getting teachers and parents to participate. (The fundraisers can be for other groups, too... such as scouts, teams, band, PTA, the possibilities are endless!)
To fill out a form (or up to 4 if you're able), you can either ask my research team to mail you paper versions of the survey OR you can simply fill it out electronically at: [link removed].
Please direct any requests or questions to Marisa at [email removed].
Thank you again so much for your contribution to this important cause!!

I am beginning a new job in the fall in sixth grade. I wasn't sure exactly what state assessments students are given at this age and what are the main areas I should concentrate on to prepare them... Please Help
What subjects will you be teaching? I'll be starting a new job teaching 6th LA & SS. I've found the Kansas Education Resource fairly helpful in deciding what to concentrate on. Of course, I am new to Kansas and still have many unanswered questions myself. min

Go to the KSDE site, curriculum standards, and you will find standards for all areas. Next year the tests administered in each grade changes to comply with NCLB so you will be concerned with testing in reading, math, social studies. Your district will probably do some standards testing as well.
You can also check out the report card of your new school while you are there.
Are there any colleges there that have online masters programs? I would like to start on one before we get there.

I thought some of you might be interested in my novel entitled "Soul of the South" which is being tentatively released for the winter of 2005. It is filled with action, romance, and intrigue, as my protagonist serves the South as a spy in Washington, as a diplomat in England and France, and as an officer in the Army of Northern Virginia. My protagonist is also adamantly against slavery, as he makes known to President Lincoln and Confederate President Davis. And, of course, there is much romance in my novel, as my protagonist William Lytham meets a beautiful woman Melanie Wenning from Richmond set against the backdrop of a beautiful woman he meets in France as a Southern diplomat. Without giving away too many details, William marries one of them amidst much acclamation with a surprise individual as the best man. You are more than welcome to read a chapter excerpt and purchase the novel on my web site at [link removed].
