The best thing to do would be to go to the Kansas State Department of Education website and see what you need to do first. Another good idea might be to contact any of the state colleges, as they will all offer the tests that are needed. I am glad to hear you are interested in coming to Kansas to teach! I teach in a very small north central Kansas school where we have had a hard time finding music teachers the past few years. We have had to settle for what was left and our music program has really suffered.
You are going to have to take the certification test all over again -can't remember the name ( i had to retake the testss when I moved from TX to KS in 1998). And the pay scale in ks is about 8,000 to 10,000 dollars lower than what I am making now. (We just moved back to TX in 2002) On 1/21/03, just me wrote: > i have taught in tx. for 15. what would i need to do to teach > in kansas. also can u tell me base pay in kansas
Hi! I moved to Kansas a year ago and am ready to return to the classroom. I am in the process of getting my Kansas certification now. The Olathe School District is VERY impressive (have a Kindergarten daughter), but I've heard it is really hard to get into.....is this true? What school districts do you suggest I apply to? Are there ones to "stay away" from? Any advice you give would really help me!!! Anxious to get back, but yet a bit nervous about the application/interview process.
A new ESL student has just arrived at our school. He is a basic/intermediate level student. I have been asked to provide an INFORMAL TEST TOOL to assess each of the student's language skills- reading,writing, speaking and listening. In addition, I must provide an informal math assessment as well. I am quite new at this...where do I start? Your help is greatly appreciated! N
I would like to contact my former teacher or her daughter to express my continuing appreciation for my days at Margaret Hill McCarter Elementary School. I believe Mrs. W was a Methodist and I am now a pastor in The United Methodist Church after a short career in education and librarianship. Thank you.

It is with great excitement that I am writing in response to several e-mails which I found at Teachers.net.
Gladys Waldoch was my fourth grade teacher in 1958/59. She had such an incredible influence upon my life and my career aspirations. After visiting McCarter Elementary School in Topeka, KS, I did try to find Mrs. Waldoch and left word with one of her fellow teachers at the school. It was my understanding that she had recently moved to North Carolina. It was only tonight that I tried a different approach on the internet to see if she could be found. It is my hope that you will be able to send this message to her.
I was a relatively shy student who was made to feel wonderful and successful in Mrs. Waldoch's class. Our class was the first to use the new set of Encyclopedia Britannica as we pursued answers to the questions posed in the weekly "Look-It- Up Club." Mrs. Waldoch was the first teacher who gave the class a truly integrated learning experience as we studied South America and covered an entire wall with a South American jungle, created with colorful chalk and the artwork of every student in the class. I can still remember what fun it was when Mrs. Waldoch would suddenly burst into song during reading groups. (One of my favorite songs was, and is, "This Little Light of Mine." She played a great rendition of "Down in the Valley.") The week before Christmas vacation was memorable, too. We were promised a week full of art projects and singing if we all worked hard to get our classwork finished. Of course it happened!
I determined to become a teacher after the 4th grade experience. After attending Illinois State University, I did teach in the Schaumburg, IL school district for 4 years. I married Phil Gray after finishing college. I loved teaching 2nd grade, but decided to stay at home after giving birth to our first child, Jennifer. Keith was born 2 years later. Jenny is nearly 30 years old and works for Briggs & Stratton teaching international clients about usage of the internet site which Briggs provides. She alternates living in Milwaukee and in Europe. Keith is a rocket scientist working for the Navy in Ridgecrest, CA. Even if he could tell us what he does, I'm not certain that I would understand what he does do. Phil, my husband, works for Hewlett-Packard doing main- frame computer installations.
My parents are both still living in Lake Wales, FL half the year and the other half in Antioch, IL. They have enjoyed fairly good health.
I have taken my teaching to a different level and have now enjoyed 19 years of owning a sewing center. Phil and I live outside of Milwaukee, WI. (There are pictures at [link removed].
The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth is a new public health project at Georgetown University funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We're focusing attention and action on alcohol industry marketing practices that jeopardize the health and safety of youth, and hope to be active in Kansas. The information we produce is often troubling to teachers and parents, since the alcohol industry places ads where adults are less likely to see them.
Some of our findings to date are:
* Youth ages 12-20 saw 45% more beer magazine ads and 27% more hard liquor magazine ads in 2001 than people over 21. That same age group saw 95 percent more beer magazine ads than people over age 35. Yet youth saw 58% fewer magazine ads for wine.
* Youth saw 60% more magazine ads for "malternatives," or sweet low-alcohol refreshers like Smirnoff Ice and Mike's Hard Lemonade, than adults.
* Youth saw more television commercials for beer and ale than for fruit juice, gum, chips, sneakers or jeans in 2001.
* One quarter of alcohol advertising on television in 2001 was more likely to be seen by youth than adults.
Please contact me if you'd like brochures, newsletter articles, reports, sample letters, a Power Point presentation or other resources.
