=(HELP) Need help from G1-6 classroom teachers = Topic: Classroom Teachers¡¦ (G1-6) Perspectives towards School-Based After-School Programs
Hello, dear G1-6 teacher!
I am now a graduate student who is working on the Master¡¦ s educational capstone research. My research topic is ¡§An Internet Survey of Classroom Teachers¡¦ (G1-6) Perspectives towards School-Based After-School Programs in the U.S. and Taiwan.¡¨ I planned to invite some G1-6 classroom teachers in the U.S. and Taiwan to help me to do an online survey. However, I am now encountering serious problems that need your help. It¡¦s now the holiday week and it seems like I am not having enough participants to do my survey before the survey deadline (12:00 PM, SAT, 26 Nov 05).
Please take a few minutes now to visit the following URL to help me and your district to evaluate the school-based after-school programs!:

If possible, please also provide me some chatboards¡¦ URL that G1-6 classroom teachers in the U.S. often visit. I¡¦ ve already posted it on a couple of websites to ask for these teachers¡¦ help, but only very few of them helped me with the survey after they read the message.

Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the head of the education committee. His name is Kent Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public education. There is a lady running against him this year who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb 21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the primary. Those of us who care about our children are asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or email their friends and family to ask them to vote for Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool, straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington, Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a great rest-of-the-year!
I am a 4th year teacher certified in S.S. 5th-12th. I am looking to talk to someone with international teaching experience. I have looked at ISS and search associates and would just like to know a little bit about application process and chances of actually getting placed. Please help!
I have taught overseas, in fact, I spent 6 years as an educational technical advisor to the Republic of Mali. I recommend you look at AFS Programs. They have many opportunities, but mostly in Thailand. I also went as an AFS Global Educator to Thailand in 2000. It will be a life changing experience. Be prepared to do things differently and learn from your peers in the schools where you will be working. You will not have all of the answers, but may well be able with collaboration from your fellow educators be able to make a real difference at the school that you may be teaching. To contact AFS you may call 1-800-AFS-INFO and look on line at [link removed].
In the meantime, you may be a great person to host an AFSer for this fall while you work on getting an international position. We have several students who need immediate placements with host families who wish to open their hearts and homes. They are 2 girls and 1 boy from Thailand and 1 boy from the Netherlands. Please, call Nadia Clendening at 1-800-876-2377, ext 118, today, if you are interested. Please, tell your friends and relatives about this great cultural opportunity. Students are to arrive between April 10-12. Hence, the Miss Tennky Area AFS Leadership Team needs to find these students welcome and/or permanent placements ASAP.
Any help that you may give us would be appreciated. We always need new volunteers to work with the 2 AFSers that we will have in our area this school year 2006=07. Besides hosting, we need folks to work orientations, furnish transporation, serve as liaisons and as uncle/aunt families. etc.
