Alternate Route Teachers

by MSU grad

Jun 9, 2008

Are there any schools on the coast that do not mind hiring
alternate route students? I am having a problem finding
an upper elementary position. My interviews go very
well. I think my lack of experience hurt me. I will have
a license soon. Any suggestions??

I was wondering if anyone knows when the MCT2 scores will
be returned to the schools? I am just really anxious to
see how my students performed- also a little scared. :(

Dr. E We received our scores on individual students last week. You should be able to look at the scores as a whole and just pick out your students. I was very pleased to see my students scores. I hade over 80% score proficient or advanced. I teach 7th grade math. Look forward to good results. Stay positive.

buckeye Our district received their scores for the overall school last week. It did not include breakdown by teacher or student and I don't think it had the official state level either. Our district is working to determine what level we come in as. All I know is my school was getting a ton of pressure and we came back the highest in our district so that ma...See More

Blue Cross Blue Shield

How does the state expect a teacher making around 40k a year to pay over $600 a month for family coverage? It is absolutely ridiculous! I wonder who I could complain to.

How did you get the policy? Do you have a link to the info?

Teacher 2 I had blue care for my son when I first started teaching. I couldn't afford to add him either. I told several of my friends about it.

WillRain, you still out there?

by Wonderboy

Jul 3, 2008

I was scrolling through the old posts today and saw how you were a first-year teacher back in '06. You were talking a pretty good game back then, but stopped posting in the next two years. Did you get fed up and quit, or what?

Wonderboy There's one in every school every year. Wet behind the ears and knows everything. Hope the insurance field is treating you well.

NorthMS In most cases, teaching jobs, like most state jobs, are purely political. When a job opens, turn in your application and resume, then contact the local state or federal law maker and any other highly influentual person in that area and have them recommend you. This is almost a sure fire way to get the job.
