"I hear many people talk about tolerance and how we must learn to be tolerant toward those who are different from us. When we tolerate something, we put up with it temporarily until it is gone. We tolerate a toothache, back pain, and loud music coming from a neighbor’s house. Why would we ever put what we do with children in the same category? Instead, we should celebrate the differences of our children."

About New Urban Learning & The University YES Academy Schools New Urban Learning (NUL) is a non-profit charter management organization launched in 1999 in Detroit, MI. NUL exists to prove that with the foundation of an excellent college-preparatory education, Detroit children can graduate from high school, enroll in competitive four- year colleges and universities, graduate from college and positively impact change in Detroit. NUL manages the University YES Academy Schools, a high-performing, college- preparatory district. The school currently serves K-10th grade students, and is expected to add a grade each year until it reaches full capacity in the fall of 2017 when the first class will graduate and matriculate to college.
Job Description All teaching faculty assume professional responsibilities for creating and maintaining a culture of achievement that develops in each student the skills, attitude and knowledge to meet and exceed the standards of being college-ready. As a reform-minded organization, we know that it takes excellence in teaching and learning to move the needle on student achievement. Thus, more than anything, we are committed to finding teachers who go above and beyond, who roll up their sleeves, who are willing to admit what they don’t know and are proactive in addressing gaps, and who view the opportunity gap as a civil rights issue that must be addressed. We are looking for teachers who are not scared by a challenge, who are on their feet, and who hear the call to aid in Detroit’s transformation.
The qualified candidate for a position as a High School teacher will have knowledge of the common core standards in their content area, be able to analyze and effectively use student data to inform teaching and learning, will have experience in the classroom, is able to collaborate with other core content areas to understand how their lesson plans and aims will align with other subject areas, and will be able to effectively engage students in coursework and projects to enhance their learning.

With a Master's Degree and Certified Teacher Certificate and teaching experience and much, much more good news I'd like to teach at your school. I need to make good money over $20,000 a year. Ted
I need some help on how to study for this test. Can someone give me suggestions? Thanks!
Use these 10 tips to motivate your students, answer their questions about why school is important for them... why it matters to work hard, value education, and take school seriously.
I am a native Michigander looking for a Spanish/ESL teaching job (full or part-time) in the suburbs of Detroit or Grand Rapids area. We live out of state, retired military family, and would love to finally return home to family. Thanks for any comments or suggestions in advance!
Hi, I failed my MTTC Special Education twice. Do you know of any schools/universities that offer online MTTC Test Preparation? I passed my PRAXIS exams, but for some reason I can't pass MTTC Tests for Learning Disabilities, Emotional Impairment, and Cognitive Impairment. I'm getting frustrated. Please help. Thanks.
