am looking for a math /chemistry position somewhere near Hopkinsville, so my kids can see their grandparents regularly in Springfield TN. Right now we live in Texas, and I am finishing up my third year teaching here. I am currently certified to Teach Math and Chemistry and also hold a bachelors and masters degree in engineering. My GPA is decent and I am willing to do what it takes to become certified in another state, although I am currently Certified in Texas. Any help you can give is appreciated!

Good luck! I think I'm going to end up going back to school....everyone in CA is replacing French for Chinese and my job is now obsolete. Is it the same everywhere?

Does anyone know what a special education teacher in Louisivlle, KY can do this summer to make some money since this is my first year teaching and I didn't get hired in time to get paid during the summer and need to find a way to make ends meet? Thank you very much.

The Arizona Department of Education, Exceptional Student Services is excited to announce the First Annual Great Arizona Teach-In. This 'One-stop shopping' event will provide comprehensive information to current and future education professionals. Schools from around the state will be conducting interviews to obtain the best and brightest to serve Arizona students. A resource room will feature information on a wide array of education career employment issues (finger printing, certification, investigations, etc.) and participants will be able to obtain comprehensive information, all under one roof.
In the expo center, Arizona colleges and universities will be on hand to provide information on programs and resources for participants. Schools from around the state will provide information on career opportunities, and vendors will have the opportunity to promote products to assist educators with providing quality instruction. During the Teach-In, workshops will be conducted on a variety of education related topics, designed to provide contemporary information for current and future education professionals.
I would really appreciate your input for a book that my colleague and I are writing for teachers. This book will give teachers ways to help their students become engaged and motivated, as well as practical tools to deal with students difficulties in learning.
Please consider participating, and passing the invitation below on to you colleagues:
Opportunity to contribute to research on school bullying!
You are invited to participate in a research project to learn more about strategies used by teachers and counselors when faced with bullying incidents. This study is being conducted by Dr. Sheri Bauman, Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Arizona. If you are interested in contributing 10-15 minutes of your time to advance our understanding of this important international problem, please click on the link below. You will be asked for a password to ensure that only teachers and school counselors complete the survey. Please enter “ijime” (do not enter the quotation marks) when you are asked for your password.
This is an invitation to participate in a totally free event that will take place on September 11 and that will be, I believe, of special interest to teachers and librarians. As we are a public library in Illinois with absolutely no budget to give this event the publicity it deserves, we are hoping you will share the information with anyone you think might have an interest.
On September 11, 2006, the Bensenville Community Public Library District (a Chicago suburb) will present Marion Blumenthal Lazan live and in real time to anyone with an Internet connection. To participate, you merely install a small program (it loads in about 20 seconds), turn on your computer's speakers, then sit back and listen to Marion. If you also have a microphone attached to your computer, you will be able to speak with her and ask questions directly.
As a girl, Marion and her family were trapped in Hitler's Germany, and they spent six and a half years in refugee and concentration camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany. They were in a cattle car on their way to Auschwitz when they were finally liberated by Russian troops.
Now in her seventies, Marion is devoting the rest of her life to telling her story. She knows that in a few years there will be no Holocaust survivors left, yet what happened must never be forgotten. Her story does not dwell on the horror of what she experienced. Instead, her message is one of hope and optimism in the face of extraordinary hardship. She implores us to be kind to one another, to embrace diversity, to always retain hope, to respect one another, and to never look away from intolerance and cruelty. Could there be a more powerful or appropriate message on September 11?
Marion will speak to the children of the world on September 11, 2006, at 2:00 p.m., eastern time. She will speak for about 30 minutes, and she will then take questions. She will be speaking in an online auditorium, and there is no charge whatsoever to listen. Our hope is that thousands of children and their teachers will spend that hour on September 11 with Marion. She will tell a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Your students (and you) will be mesmerized and inspired.
For more information, including directions for registering for the program and logging onto the website where the online auditorium is located, please just reply to this message to: [email removed]].
If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to me, Bill Erbes, [email removed].
We believe there will be much interest in this event if only we can get the word out that it will be happening. Any help you can offer in spreading the message will be most appreciated.
Thank you.
Bill Erbes Assistant Library Director Bensenville Community Public Library District 200 S. Church Road Bensenville, IL 60106 (630) 766-4642
I am a social studies certified teacher, looking to get out of urban teaching, and to live somewhere more laid back, rural, and safer. I am considering teaching in Kentucky, and I noticed that there are quite a bit of positions available throughout the state. Does anybody know anything about teaching in the state, which area(s) are better to live/teach, and is there really a demand for teachers there?
That was a long time ago. Things are different now. I'm in a small, rural area in a "depressed" part of the state . . . even in a Title I school . . . and we're in a new building with LOTS of technology. I get planning times, duty-free lunch, and insurance. I live comfortably on my salary.
Can't complain!

Don't be fooled by the advisors (aka recruiters) of the Education departments of local universities. There are no teacher shortages in life sciences in KY. Alternative teaching routes do not exist even for someone that has an M.S. in Biology and passed the Praxis Biology exam w/ 195/200. It is a shame that I had to spend $100 dollars for the test, but at least I am not out the $15,000 for the 'MAT' degree.
i am already in my middle age. been teaching some rude kids whose culture and religion is opposite mine. just quit after teaching for 12 years. i am still thinking if i should be teaching again. what do you think?
