Hey I wanted to complete a student internship while working. Am I able to do both, or do I have to quit my job for this? Please let me know, I know teachers who intern for admin positions and still keep their jobs...just wanted to know.

Yes, but obviously on evenings and weekends only. Warning: Student teaching is HARD. Way harder than real teaching. If you can do it without working another job, do!
I live near a major university, so students frequently want to come to my school to get "shadow hours" for their intro-level education classes. Two things I tell them: 1) Every semester, purchase a class, professional outfit that you'll be able to wear to student teaching -- so when you reach that semester, you won't need to rush out and buy appropriate clothing. 2) Save money NOW. Your student teaching semester is very expensive; you're required to pay tuition, drive to the school, provide lunch for yourself ... yet you get no paycheck. If you can put away a little money every prior semester, you'll be better prepared.
Does anyone happen to know if I have career status (18 year veteran) will I lose that status if I move to another NC county to teach? Thanks for any insight.
I took the leveling option but I have continued to work part time and pay in to Social Security. If I opt to take Social Security at 62 won't I get more than I'm drawing now with the leveling? I'm assuming the amount was calculated based on what they thought I would draw from Social Security 3 years ago.
I am a doctoral student who needs to collect data for an advanced quantitative research class. I need help from school administrators and teachers of Math, Science, Social Studies and English to complete a short cultural competency survey. My pilot study seeks to find out if there is a relationship between school administrators' and teachers' level of cultural competency and the academic achievement of minority students who are culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD). Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey by clicking on the link below. All information collected will be kept strictly confidential and the results will not be published. Your help is greatly appreciated!
At the end of any school year, annual leave days in excess of 30 "roll over" to sick days, so at the end of school this would become 200 sick dates /30 annual leave day /5 personal days.
Since it'd be my last year, would the 30 annual leave days + 5 personal days become sick leave, giving me 235 sick days /nothing else ?
beenthereCorrection - I think some personal leave can be converted to sick leave...but the formula they use to calculated years of service knocked mine out.
hst@yahoo.comSorry, I am unable to help as the only references I can find to grades of 9's are British. What grade level are you teaching? Please elaborate as I am quite curious.
My husband and I are both retiring in May 2019 (we are counting the days). We want to move out of state. My question is how will the state health plan work? We won't be eligible for Medicare for 2/3 years after retirement. Surely we aren't the only people who have moved after retirement. Thanks for any help you can give.
No matter where you move, you'll always be connected to NC through your retirement benefits. Insurance won't be any different. You'll need to choose an insurance option that doesn't tie you to your current area /current doctors. Your insurance choices will be the same as the ones available to you now.
I am in college studying special education. I am most interested in potentially being an inclusion teacher where I would go into other classrooms and work with the students who have IEP's. I wouldn't have my own classroom, but I would have an office and would travel to different classes. I have observed in many special education settings but I haven't really gotten to observe an inclusion teacher. Does anyone have any experience with this type of career in the special ed field? If so, what is it like for you? It seems that there are a lot of openings for resource teachers and not a lot of openings for inclusion teachers, so if you are an inclusion teacher, did you have difficulty finding that placement?
As a new grad, you want to start by getting A JOB ... then you work towards getting into THE JOB you really want. Inclusion jobs are fairly easy to find, and special ed teachers come and go more frequently than other teachers (it's considered a burn-out job ... people tend to stay in it 3-5 years, then move into a different area of education).
My advice: Try to get into the school of your choice; that is, convenient to your home, etc. If you don't get an inclusion job your first year, you'll be able to move into such a job within a year or two.
One last thought: don't assume you'll have an office. More likely you'll be working in a common staff room when you're not in the classroom.
Does anyone have any details on the bonus? Will the bonus be awarded in Jan. 2018 for evaas data in 2016-2017? Or is it awarded in Jan. 2019 based on 2017-2018 data?
If it is awarded next month, when would the LEA let teachers know that they qualified?
