My kids are doing better than expected, do i slow down???

by Wondering

Apr 24, 2012

My students are hitting all the objectives and I am even going ahead...I'm concerned about going too fast. Should I slow down and just dig deeper into the material or do I just keep going at this pace?? I want to do what's best but I dont want them to be bored! any thoughts??

does anyone know anything about Cranbrook schools??

by kteacher

Apr 27, 2012

Is anyone familiar with cranbrook schools in west bloomfield?? I hear the campus is beautiful but they pay and treat teachers very poorly. I definitely don't want to work in an environment like that again...can anyone give me insight on this?

Thanks

Emi D On a whim I took an alternative way home one day and found myself in the middle of Cranbrook. I felt like I was in an enchanted Christmas town... it was so beautiful, like a Hollywood set! BUT, can you imagine working with some of the parents? Just let your imagination run wild there... yikes...

Other avenues for teachers

by 6 and out

May 25, 2012

I am just wondering what other teachers have pursued after throwing in the towel. I've only taught full time for six years, but in order to keep my certificate was forced to complete my master's degree last summer. In other words, most school systems in rural southern MI can no longer afford me. I currently teach at a very small Catholic school, bu...See More

I'm just curious what do you all think of the new EAA district that is taking over part of DPS?

It is taking over DPS. It is failing. It is responsible for 500 layoffs.

Hello! Has anyone ever used mttcbiology.com or mttcchemistry.com for their practice tests? If so, are they helpful?! Please let me know, I'm freaking out!! thanks so much :)

san HI Sara I have used the practice tests in my field, but they just didn't help much. Its all a matter of answering the questions in your field... correctly. On 6/16/12, Sara wrote: > Hello!

Re-certification

by Carrie

Jul 1, 2012

I am looking into a masters degree program online from the university of southern Mississippi. On the Michigan website it just says you need to choose an approved program...does anyone know if you can get your credits out of state for re-certification?

Thank you! This program is much cheaper than any of the programs in Michigan.

sanstorm9@yahoo.com Go to the Michigan Website and there is information that will tell you how to get re-certification. If you have been teaching in your subject area you can just pay the money to get a certificate for two more years. You can do that for twice, than you will have to take 9 credits or go for your masters, which is costly. On 7/19/12, me too wrote: >...See More

Has anyone got a curriculum guide for 5th grade in Math and Science? Are there any sites that offer some information on what the assessments will look like? Why are we left scratching our heads trying to figure this stuff out???
