I am moving to MO this summer because my husband got a job in Kansas City. Any advice in getting a job in Kansas City or in the surrounding communities? When do most districts do their hiring? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Please contact NCRCR at [email removed].
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.

I am wanting to know where to find info. regarding Missouri's new teacher mentor program. As a new teacher, aren't you required to have a mentor for 2 years, per DESE certification guidelines?

I am trying to get certified to teach French in the state of Missouri. I have B.S. in French with emphasis on international travels What do I need to do, so i can teach in missouri
Was this informative? Was it on a primary level? Judy is coming to Dallas and I need to know how informative her workshops are and if they are on a primary level. My school is PK-2.
What ...See MoreI'm an experienced teacher trying to move across the country to Missouri for a change in my husband's job. I am in a contract right now until July. I have sent several applications, resumes, etc to jobs posted on MOREAP, and have gotten no phone calls or e-mails. A few of the jobs even reposted their ad several weeks after I applied.
What is the hiring like in MO? Does the actual KCMSD do much hiring? I've noticed their openings are pretty bare right now.
Am I starting to early, or is it the out-of-state address that is causing employers to skip over my qualifications?
Maybe I'm worrying too much. lol. Just looking for some guidance or advice.
I currently teach at a charter school in CA so I have no problem going to a charter rather than a traditional high school. Hopefully I can find something.
Thanks again, and feel free to keep the commentary coming if anything comes to mind.
mYou should take the Praxis test to add areas of certification. The teacher certification page on the Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education contains info about this. Good luck
