=(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.

I'm moving to Maine over the summer and hope to find a teaching position in secondary math. I have taught AP statistics and AP calculus AB with success and I have college adjunct experience. We're hoping to locate somewhere between the Augusta-Bangor corridor and the coast. If anyone knows of any potential openings in areas around there, please let me know or perhaps put in a word about me to someone who might have an interest. My family with young children is looking forward to a move closer to the grandparents and to the beauty of Maine, but a job search is an anxiety producer. I don't know how much turnover there is in Maine schools, but I'm hoping to be able to contribute to the children of Maine somewhere next year!

This might be a little late, but there are plenty of openings this time of year. Just look up the Bangor Daily News on the net or go to servingschools.com to find math openings. Good luck with the job hunt.
you say you have college adjunct experience -- there are several colleges and community colleges in the area too! But, as Julie said, [link removed]!!

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 hope someone can help with my question. My husband and I are from the UK because of my husbands work we will have to live in the USA for part of the year. We are hoping to reside in Maine. We have a four year old daughter who is currently in kindergarten but will start private schooling in September 2006. We would like to continue her curriculum when we stay in Maine. How can I find out if there is anyone quilified to teach my daughter privately or in a group. As we are not USA citizens will this affect our employing a tutor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Audrey
I will be graduating this December,with a dual certification in social studies and economics. I also have a BA in Accounting. How does the job market look like? Is is easy to find that first teaching job?

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.
