I teach three sections of an Early Childhood Classroom Structure/Behavior Management class in the fall (with about 55-60 students total). I am looking for early childhood (primary) classroom teachers who would be interested in an "e" project where they would become an e-pal with one of my students discussing classroom management strategies/philosophies/approaches that work/have not worked in the classroom. It would involve about 4-6 e-mails where my students would inquire about classroom management, a response, and then the "sharing" of specifics in a particular classroom. At the end of the project, I would also like to know if this experience has been useful to you (reflective, metacognitive??).
If you are interested, please respond to this address [email removed].
I joined a postcard exchange and we are still short a few states. If you are interested, here is the explanation from the project leader and a URL to her site for more information.
Hi, I - have over thirty-five teachers already involved in a Postcard Exchange, and would like you to consider joining too!
In September I will provide labels for all the schools involved, all you have to do is mail postcards from your state to the teachers on the labels. All the teachers will do the same, and you will receive postcards from all over the United States.
This is a great project to get your students involved in.
No cost except for the postcards and stamps to mail the postcards (students can bring them in!)
Here are the states we still need:
Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming.
Please email me only if you see your state listed here and want to be a part of this great activity:
Hi everyone! We are still in need of a few participants to complete our postcard exchange project for 2002-2003. If you teach in one of the following states and you are very interested in participating in this project, please email me ASAP.
Here's a public invitation for application to the IndiVisual/Hewlett-Packard 'Read for Life' scholarship. I feel this is important to share with the public and hopeful you will help the spread the word with teachers and schools administrators about this great scholarship opportunity to help struggling readers.
The 'Read for Life' scholarship consists of a wireless mobile reading lab complete with 5 Hewlett-Packard laptop PCs complete and 3 years unlimited student-use of IndiVisual Reading ($25,000 value). Another plus with this scholarship is the fact that Dr. John Manning, a former president of the International Reading Association, is the author/advisor behind the IndiVisual Reading program. The scholarship is available to any public, private, parochial or charter school within the United States.
I grew up in Maine and have been living (20 years) and teaching (5 years) in California. My family is now asking when we'll be moving back to Maine. Of course they've been doing it forever but lately they're REALLY asking! What are the job prospects in the state of Maine? I've got family in Aroostook County and in Saco so I don't think we're too concerned about where we'd go. Does the state have a website with credential info? What could I expect for a salary with a masters degree and 5 years experience? Thanks for your help! Linda

The salary range varies from School Department to Department. I teach High School in Old Town, Maine and the pay scale says...
2001-2002 (Currently Negotiating for this year)
Starting Pay is $24,000, I'm new so not sure what the steps mean, but a step 5 is 28, 414.
I recently retired from the military and started up the JROTC program at the High School.
The max at step 18 is $44,950.
There are positions all over the place...however...just so you come in with eyes open...Maine is going through a buget crunch...not sure how that will impact on future hiring...
Maine! The way life should be!
Hope this helps.

I have published one book: 7001 RESUMES, it is a job search book and you can find it on the internet in most book sites. I will have two more coming out soon: JUMP START YOUR CAREER, and JUMP START YOUR COMPUTER SKILLS. The "Career" book is for HS grads. and Adults entering the world of work for the first time. And the computer book is for training in the classroom. I have been developing it for over 2 years. They are coming soon. I hope to publish Jump start, this fall, and the computer book in the Spring of 2003.
If you are interested let me know. I have taught 7,001 in Adult Ed. classes as a Career training book.
For information give me a call at 714-996-4221 or 714-515- 6103 or E-mail me.....
The computer book, I believe is better that "Future Kids" and should cost a lot less.
my book 7,001 is now in some colleges, Libraries, HS, and ROP's throughout America.
Barbara,
Did I miss something?? Where are these courses
offered/listed?? I am interested. Thanks Rebecca
