Pension subtracted from social security

by Karen Anelli

Aug 9, 2008

Be aware that your social security benefit at retirement will SUBTRACT your teaching pension from the amount you would have gotten. The great American rip off to teachers!

Rosylinn It's not just MO, but it does not include all states. I know that MNEA is working to change this practice in MO. MO teachers can also opt out of paying the full SS amount (I did taxes for years and saw this often among teachers).

Educational Specialist Degree

by Elizabeth

Aug 9, 2008

Could anyone tell me about good Educational Specialist Degree programs in Missouri? I live in Springfield and would prefer to do it as much online as I can. I heard that Mizzou may have the best program that certifies me as a principal at all levels and/or superintendant but I would have to drive there one Friday out of the month. Has anyone went t...See More

Melanie Elizabeth, I'm looking into the same programs and I'm planning on going with Webster University. It's all online. I have heard only good things about Columbia's program, but I, too, want to do it all online. There are several practicum experiences in Webster's program and I'm not sure how I'm going to manage that, but I think my principal, asst pri...See More

Are there any jobs for techies in MO? - off topic

by M

Aug 12, 2008

Okay, I'm getting frustrated for my husband who has been out of work for nearly 2 years and just finished a degree. Are there no jobs for Macintosh people out there anywhere? I thought that once he got his degree he'd be able to find a job, no problem. He has decades of experience. He'd love to be in higher education again. Any leads would be great...See More

Missouri GLEs

by Sharyl

Sep 14, 2008

We've been hearing from various people that the state is going to be phasing out the GLEs.

Has anyone else heard this?

Has anyone verified this?

Any idea what they will replace them with?

Gena I am not sure about the phasing out part, but I did hear they might be developing essential learning outcomes for each grade level meaning there would be fewer in number. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some of kind of change or update in the near future. Time will tell:)
