I just graduated from college in December and beginning teaching at a small K-8 school District in December as well. I am moving to the Camdenton Area this summer and heard that it is very difficult to become a teacher there unless you have A LOT of experience. Is that true? If so, is there anything that I can do to get my foot in the door?
My advice would be to sub as much as possible in the school district you want to be in. Be as pleasant and helpful as possible and make an impression. They like people they "know" more than people who come from the outside. Don't forget to try other school districts as well. Osage and Lebanon are both good size districts that are close and are excellent schools. Good luck! If you don't mind a drive I teach in waynesville and it's a good school district as well!
I grew up close to Macon. Its not a very big town. I'm thinking around 5000 in population. There's all the regular fast food places and Walmart of course ( but not a super center). But there's a ton of antique and flea market. Its also home to Lolly's sale barn that has exotic animal sales on a regular basis. If there's anything specific you want to know, I can probably find out.

Can anyone please tell the the whereabouts of a Richard M. Hill. He graduated SEMO in Cape Girardeau around 1973- 74. At one time he taught Art at Northwest School District in House Springs, MO.
I have not seen Rick since the middle 1970's, just after he was in our wedding.

I need to find out what criteria your school uses to qualify students for the Title I language Arts program (not the Title I Reading program) -- I'm talking about a separate program.

We've spoken to DESE and were told that we could expand my math program to also be able to assist students with written language so that the Reading teacher can focus more completely on basic reading skills. (She's been working with them on both reading and written language.
She told us to double check the administrator's manual for Title programs. Well, the manual is not really specific on a number of things.
I was just wondering what other schools might be doing to identify the students struggling with written language -- what assessment they use.

Provisional teachers salary comparison: Hello and thank you for reading my post. I have reviewed the salary schedule in my district and several others and can find no information regarding the salaries for teachers who are teaching under a provisional or alternate certification while attending college and completing their education requirements. Does anyone know if teachers working under such provisional or alternate certifications earn the same as fully licensed teachers? Thanks for your help.
Does anyone know of any schools/school districts (in the St. Louis area) that will hire a teacher under provisional certification? I am looking for work for the upcoming school year under provisional licensure.
Thanks!

Districts usually only hire provisional certified teachers when they have run out of regular certified candidates or are really close to the beginning of the school year and suddenly find out their enrollment jumped, so they need someone fast. Some content areas are much harder to come by than others, so if you are in one of the harder to find specializations, you stand a better chance of getting hired as a provisional. Nearly every district (I've worked in/been in) has a handful of provisionals; areas that have more difficulty attracting well-qualified candidates usually have quite a few. Advice: apply everywhere you can, even to schools that do not have a posted opening. You never know what will come up--things happen over the summer, and boom!--if your application is already there on file, you'll be the first in line (and possibly the only one!) HTH!

Hi Sandy!! I just spotted your name and it's good to see you!! I've attempted to reach you by email. Please email me when you have time - so we can catch up and so you can let me know what you hear from Addie.
Hi Sandy! Nice to hear from you. I am doing fine. I can't remember exactly when we last communicated. I am at Kirbyville (by Branson). I am the elementary principal, federal programs coordinator, curriculum director and special services process coordinator. What are you up to?
Scroll down and look at the anniversaries.
Maybe contact that church?
