The One Voice Inst...See MoreEveryone, if you are an educator who can clearly identify the issues we face in education, ready to stand up, be counted, and actively speak out and raise our voice for the changes we all KNOW must be made - there is a movement making its way across the country to NY this November you should know about ([link removed]).
The One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education is an organization with a mission: to facilitate positive, critical change in educational processes and policies in 2008 and beyond.
The strategy at the heart of all activities and events hosted by The One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education is three-fold:
The first goal is to support and amplify the voices of educators, to gather useful information gleaned from their varied experience, and to organize and publish their suggested resolutions to problems plaguing academic systems.
Secondly, the organization is dedicated to the publication and dissemination of practical solutions and steps authored by the experts into the hands of the political, government, and business leaders to educate those that will invariably influence the future of learning in the United States and throughout the world.
Finally, The One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education will make every effort to raise the consciousness of its audience with regard to the positions, philosophies, perspectives, and track records of political candidates running for office with regard to issues of education.

Do teacher unions exists in Maine? What is the current job market like for teachers in Maine? What salary would 12 and 6 years experience secure? Are teachers insured by the state or are they expected to pay (pretax) for medical, dental, etc...?
If General Motors (The HMO that manufactures cars) goes belly up, I wonder if the out of work employees can send a copy of the health plan to their mortgage companies in lieu of paymnent?

Finding an oasis in a vast desert could be comparable to landing an ESL position in the great state of Maine, but I am going to give it another shot. Do you know of any openings coming in January or September of 2009 for ESL teachers anywhere in Maine?
Seasons greetings and enjoy the break, Interested Still

I have 8 years of experience, but took time out to work in some 3rd world countries. Upon my return I had to fill out 46 applicationsthis summer before landing a job in my home state of Maine. So, I am sorry you are having difficulties, but when our state can not afford to hire native teachers, I am not too upset when "out of state" teachers aren't hired.
