I am a teacher here in Louisville. I believe it is a great place to live and work. Jefferson County Public Schools is always looking for teachers, especially males. Check out the school system website at [link removed]!
Stephanie. Thank you for the response. Yes, this helps a lot. My wife has relatives in Louisville and we are considering a move from California to Louisville because of the cost of living in California. My wife likes the Clifton area (she took a drive through on a recent trip), what is you opinion of it? As far as the high schools, I understand Louisville hires teachers and then places them where the need is greatest. Do I need to be concerned about my safety while on the job in the inner city schools? Mind you, I am a city person and have been around mildly "exciting" situations before, but I'm just trying to get an idea of how the schools match up in Louisville to Chicago?
All you need to do is submit your name and school address. I will add your name to a database of other teachers. Next month, I will send you the addresses in label-ready format. In mid-to late October, you will address a post card (with a pic of the area you live and info about your state) to the schools listed. In return, you should receive a post card from the other schools.
I plan to post a map of the U.S. in the hall and hang the post cards around it with the cities marked. Also, you can put in the address in Google Earth and find the locations that way too.
AFS knows that you are interested in going as an AFSer, but in the mean time we would like to let you know that we have a Japanese male who needs a permanent host family now. If your family would be interested, please, call Jenny Myers at 615-385-9644 or e-mail her at [email removed].
Hi. I'm starting Western Governors University online next week and am wondering if there are any Kentucky teachers who've also received their education online. Western Governors is NACTE accredited. I'm hoping to not have a hard time finding a job be doing this online.

Andra attends Hillwood High School. He is on the cross country team and likes to write. He helps his host family with cooking. The host mom in his current family is leaving for Zambia in the middle of October... so we need a new family for him very soon.
In Indonesia, Andra was very active in youth organizations vocal about social problems and awareness. He strongly believes in working to create a better world for today's youth. He also likes to write and participates in the production of his school newspaper. His favorite subject in school is biology and in the future would like to be a child psycologist. He looks up to his father as a role model and likes to help around the house by washing dishes, washing the car and helping his mother cook. Andra has been recognized several times by various organizations for the work he does as an advocate for child welfare. Andra can live with pets and doesn't smoke
Omer (male from Turkey)
Omer is 17. He is mature for his age (at least it seems so to me). Omer likes sports and will be on the soccer team in the spring. He currently attends Hillsboro High School. Omer is also getting very good grades and his English is very good. He is in the IB program at Hillsboro and fluent in Italian as well as Arabic and Turkish. He is considering going into international relations, but also likes the idea of owning his own restaurant/hotel some day. He lived in Italy for a while and is quite self sufficient. He is great with little kids and can live with pets, plus doesn't smoke.
Thanks for any assistance that you may give us. If you would like presentations on our AFS sending programs in the future, please, contact us and we will bring some of our thirty (30) current AFSers and our volunteers to your classrooms.
Sincerely yours, Jenny Myers Watkins College of Art & Design Miss Tennky Area AFS Volunteer Leadership Team Hosting Coordinator [link removed]
