I am in the process of enrolling in a elementary education degree but am concerned about the student teaching portion of the program. Do student teachers get paid? If so, what is the norm?

Actually, with student teaching, you are paying to be there. (You pay for the earned credits.)

A special Rain Forest Conservation Camp has been designed for teachers from February 15 - 21, 2004 and other dates, to be held in CostaRica.
Proyecto Campanario is a non-profit organization which offers field courses in tropical ecology and research facilities. We are interested in contacting the person of your institution who would be interested in bringing students to our Biological Reserve in Peninsula de Osa, Costa Rica.
You are also invited to visit our web site and learn more about us and our educational programs, [link removed]

Dance is an excellent way to inform students about the culture of a country. The history of a country's dance mirrors the country's history. This is a fun way to learn about the people and culture of a country. I have done a few Multicultural Presentations for local Spanish classes, especially about Argentina and tango, my specialty. I would like to do more! So far, they have found me through my website. How do I let teachers know about this possibility?
I am looking for an English tutor to help on pronunciation and conversational english. I am located in the South Phoenix Area close to Tempe in Arizona.
I recently added resources on these two cultural opportunities that include everything from teaching jobs, arts and crafts, time zones, and more. copy and paste url
Hi! I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have deep respect for the kindness and welcoming experience I had in your state, quite a few years ago. Now, I am in Massachusetts and I would love to hear from your experiences as teachers. I graduate with a degree in Psychology and my journey has been quite arduous!... After I finished my degree, I went to California and took courses in psychology related to clinical and family counseling. My hope was to return to Europe to help my family with a home- based therapeutic community. When I returned to my country of origin I went with the purpose of finishing up a Masters thesis on juvenile Delinquency. I collected hundreds of articles that indicated that the family systems method was the most effective in preventing juvenile delinquency. I read books such as that by Salvador Minuchin"Families of the Slums" and Doestovesky (Russian author) and felt impacted by conditions of poverty in our city and how youth experience it. I felt very horrified after I started to volunteer in a center for youth and tried to go into depth in the lives of several families. I truly encountered shocking experiences with mafia, prostitution circles for minors and all kinds of sad, terrible human situations. Maybe I was too sensitive since I had a hard time tolerating such human injustice to minors in my city. I even had my mouth full of mouth sores as one point, but was able to face the director of this center and his treatment of the youth under his care. I found out later that he was sent to jail for molesting them for pornographic benefits and there it was in the news. Sometimes, I could not understand why I had trouble with some of these people in human services. I returned to Massachusetts for a couple reasons, a past love and to complete my doctorate. The first part did not work out, but I am working on the second part of my career. I worked in the hispanic community in Massachusetts and was appalled by the lack of ethical conduct,as well as tremendous organization. When I thought about Minnesota, what came to my mind was the tremendous cold yet the warmth of its people and such a more concientious organization of social services. However, I felt I might find better working conditions in the school system. As you may have read in the news, this year Massachusetts lost its bilingual education programs to English immersion. I had worked so hard for four years taking another course a semester, with two young children and trying to get my goal of being well prepared for education. Finally, I reached the goal and became a Spanish teacher with the intention of slowly attaining skills to be more effective in my own classroom as a Spanish bilingual educator. This year, was the step to be made in the direction of my latter goal. I became fully certified in elementary, middle school, early childhood education and also had prior certification in guidance counseling( the state cut out most of the bilingual counseling positions)...While I was looking for jobs in this area I found a shocking news about the enforcement of the pledge of allegiance in the school system. Maybe you did not think about it in those terms, but all my experiences living in a dictatorship came back to my mind and my fathers thoughts( a Cuban immigrant who loved Minnesota) in regards to protecting our rights to grow up in an environment in which we were "free thinkers" in a democratic society. I thought to myself, "this cannot be happening", apart from other events which I felt that were politically horrendous to the future of this country. I found out that they had begun to fine teachers in Massachusetts for not saying the pledge in the amount of five dollars. However, in my readings I found out that the Supreme Court deemed it to be unconstitutional and a right that is part of the freedom of speech of every U.S. citizen. I am interested in knowing your views and experiences in regards to this topic. Are students informed about the voluntary nature of the pledge? Are teachers able to exercise their constitutional right to remain silent or seated?.... I appreciate your comments since I am trying to decide what my future will be as a bilingual teacher in this country.
I would be interested in knowing what your state does in regard to provide ESL/ bilingual special education services. I would like to know what you do about a student that seems to act up in the classroom because she is unable to express her feelings and needs in her native language. What steps do students take to communicate with children in an all English classroom, when that child's behavior becomes disruptive and professionals around you are convinced that she has attention deficit disorder. What if intelligence testing seems to show that your student not only has behavior problems, but knows very basic vocabulary and could be easily classified as mentally retarded?... The parents always seem to be gone from home and you have little way to communicate with them?... How do you help this child?

I am not an educator but I hear about parents concerned with this issue. I would think that the school may or should use interpreters to assist this child because it is her right as long as a school or institution receives Federal Funds.
Unless the psychological testing was done in the child's language by a bicultural profesional I would question it's accuracy.
I would also look for the assistance on a Comunity agency that will be able to serve this family speaking their language.
If they happen to be immigrants they may not be knowledgable about the level of parental participation expected in the U.S.A. or they may be working long hours.
First of all, if the testing was not done in the child's native language, the data is not valid (and in fact, violates the student's rights). Many tests exist in many different languages. Last resort, your psychologist should use the services of a translator to assist with testing. As for the parents, they may not be aware of your expectations (as for school behavior, their involvement, your concern about communicating, etc.). Try to find a community service (church, resource center) that can assist you with communicating with this family. The child may be in need of support, other than special education, and outreach programs may be able to assist you.
