We have Study Island. We started it part way through last year. I thought it was pretty good, but they consider "proficient" anywhere from about 65-75% depending on the GLE and I found when analyzing the MAP, it needed to be more like 80%, so I set SI 12% higher to reach proficient. The kids like it and I like that they can access it from home.
My husband and I are contemplating a move to the St. Louis area. I am currently working in California. I hold a California credential. I have found that I work very well with ELL students. Which school districts or schools contain the most ESL students? Thanks in advance.

I am in need of some advice. I am currently living in Georgia, I have a BBA and have been working in accounting for over three years now. I recently decided to switch careers and become a teacher. I want to teach MS or HS and in GA we have a program for "career switchers" and I started taking the necessary tests for that. Now, my husband is taking a job with the Special Olympics in Springfield and we will be moving in November. I have already taken and passed the GACE, GA's basic skills test. I passed but I am not sure if that test will count in MO. It replaced the Praxis a few years ago in GA. I am also taking my content test in a week and am not sure if that will count in MO either. So my problem is, will my tests from GA count in MO or do I need to take more tests once I get to MO, also, what options do I have in MO to become a teacher with a BBA. I would like to get my Master's in Accounting, but I am not sure if I can teach with that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I don't know for sure if you can teach in Missouri with the education you currently have. You should check out the teacher certification process on the website I have linked and/or call them. They will point you in the right direction. Several people that I know with Bachelor's degrees and experience in other fields got a Master's in Education in order to teach. I used to live in the Springfield area and my sister still lives there. It is a great place to live. Best of luck to you!
It took me 12 years to get my degree and credential. I worked as an aide as I went to school. I thought I knew what I was getting into. I taught two years and never had a day off and worked 12-15 hours a day. Literally. I am going back to the corporate world. At least at the end of the day, I am free to do what I want. My weekends are mine, holidays are mine, vacation is mine. Kids and parents are a nightmare and NCLB has ruined teaching.

my staff and I will be in St Louis on Jan 22nd to Assess the situation at Riverview Gardens HS my staff and I are excited about the new project at hand. If you would like to meet my staff and I we will have an open floor meeting while we are there to hear concerns and ideas from staff and students. I will keep you informed on location and time of the event. Thanks Herman
Is or has anyone else written/rewrittem junior high Sciemce curriculum to match the Grade Level Expectations? I could use advice, examples, and all the assistance I can get. I've written curriculum many times, so I can't help but feel someone else has already completed one this time.
Thanks! That's a great document to get me started. It should be easy enough to find where each new "GLE" now fits in. Teachers are the most sharing generous people ever!

That is well organized. That helps a lot! It won't take much to come up with a way to adapt it to the new GLEs. THANK YOU!

Our school, due to positive test scores and such, will have (instead of a full-blown state inspection) one that involves one person from the state doing a "walk-through" in February?
Just curious if anyone has had this and do you know what types of things that person will be looking at/for?
