I am reocating to Kalispell in June. I am a NJ teacher currently holding two standard NJ teaching licenses. I applied for reciprocity of my licenses through OPI, who have rejected my credentials.
Although I successfully completed a state run teacher's program by the NJ Dept of Education, and it was they who issued my licenses, MT OPI says I have to prove that the state of NJ DOE approved of the program. Since they issued the licenses it stands to reason it was state approved, but they want proof.
OK, so I've appealed to the Commisioner of Education in NJ for verification, but beaurocracy being what it is in NJ, I have heard nothing. I have also written my state governor, and called a variety of NJ DOE offices which are forever busy. And I am getting nowhere fast with my NJ requests for help.
I have been teaching for eleven years, and can't imagine doing anything else. If any of you have successfully appealed to OPI for a license they originally refused, please share how you were successful in your appeal.
I only have until June 20th to appeal, and I would greatly appreciate any help any of you could provide if you've experienced this situation.
I'm looking for a few new members to join my 2004-2005 postcard exchange! :o) This is an established International Post Card Exchange. Students love learning about their friends around the world! Please email me if you're interested! THANK YOU!
The following states are still needed to complete our Postcard Exchange: AL, AK, CO, CT, DE, DC, IA, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, MT, NV, NH, ND, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY
If you are interested, please e-mail me your school address. We would love to have you. To find out more about the Postcard Exchange, read on.
I teach 5th grade and find that a postcard exchange ties in well as a geography review, as well as writing--the format of a postcard.
If you choose to join, your job will be to send each participant a postcard. Usually I have my class create one postcard and then photocopy and glue it on individual postcards. In the letter we include information about our state and our school.
Then when we receive the various cards from other states we display them on a bulletin board. I put a U.S. map on the wall and everytime I receive a card we put a pin in that city/state and attach the postcard.
My students love receiving the postcards. They have an opportunity to learn little things about states and schools.
At the end of the summer I will be e-mailing all of the participants a list of addresses that will be involved in the exchange. Usually we have about 30 states, I would love to get all 50 states, but I haven't had that happen yet. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you are interested so I can add your state to our list.

Hi. Sorry I don't have answers for you, but I am in a similar situation to your sister in law in that I am credentialed in California and want to move to Montana (guess we've had enough of the warm weather). I was just wondering if you got any helpful responses? Thank you Aimee
