hey all! I am a graduate of Franklin Pierce with a degree in English.. I am living in Keene and am starting post- baccalaureate teacher certification program at Keene State in fall 2007.. until then, I am looking for any subbing work or teacher's aiding work.. (partly for the experience and partly because it's recommended that I enter the fall program with 100 hours of contact with children in public schools)... any advice on how to go about applying for this type of work? I was thinking about just marching in every office of every school and asking, but thought I'd try this first...
You were just down the road from my school when you were at FPC. I suggest you go to the SAU offices and apply for Substitute Positions. While there try to see the Directors of SPED for those associate postions which open up at anytime throughout the year.
BTW I got my Masters at Keene State College and they do a great job with their education program!
With your background and experience I think your chances are pretty good at getting a job. Keep checking web sites for openings beginning in April (when jobs start openiing for the following year). Check the New Hampshire Department of Ed website also. There is a link there to go to about jobs in NH. My district uses that service.

I Need a copy of a teacher morale or school survey.This survey will be used to identify if teachers feel appreciated, respected, and if they feel supported by their administrators. I will use this survey at my school to help administrator determine if our school has low teacher morale. Please help!
Every teacher is entitled to a duty-free lunch and planning and preparation time. Except for a few minor changes made in the 1995 rewrite of the Texas Education Code, the statutes have essentially remained the same.
Duty-free lunch – Texas Education Code, Sec. 21.405 By law, each classroom teacher and full-time librarian gets at least a 30-minute lunch period “free from all duties and responsibilities connected with the instruction and supervision of students.” According to a Texas Attorney General opinion, the term “duty” would include a directive that teachers remain on campus during lunch, because it would relate to student instruction or supervision. Districts cannot require teachers to stay on campus during their 30-minute lunch even if the campus is “closed” for students.
The law provides exceptions—personnel shortages, extreme economic conditions or unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances—which give districts the right to require teachers to supervise lunches, but not more than one time per week.
The rules adopted by the commissioner of education set the bar very high before a district can assign a teacher to lunch duty. Scheduling problems do not create unforeseen circumstances. They exist when an epidemic, illness, or natural or man-made disaster leaves no one available to do the duty. An extreme economic condition exists when hiring a person to supervise lunch would cause the district to raise taxes to the extent that the district might face a tax roll-back election. A personnel shortage exists only after all available nonteaching personnel—superintendent and business manager included—have been assigned to the duty and the district has diligently recruited community volunteers to help.
Planning and preparation time – Texas Education Code, Sec. 21.404 The law entitles every teacher to planning and preparation time, during which the district can require the teacher to engage in no activity other than parent-teacher conferences, evaluating student work, and planning. Teachers must have at least 450 minutes of planning time every two weeks in increments of not less than 45 minutes within the instructional day.
Examples:
A teacher could have five 90-minute conference periods within a two-week period, instead of a 45-minute conference period each day. A district can provide 50- minute blocks of planning time daily, and exceed the minimum requirement, but it could not provide 50 minutes one day and 40 minutes the next.
A district cannot schedule a 7:45 a.m.-3:15 p.m. instructional day, and then give teachers 3:15 p.m.-4:00 p.m. to plan after the students leave.
Conference period cases often involve requirements for group planning or staff development during planning periods. According to the commissioner of education, if a district gives teachers no more than the statutory minimum planning time, the district cannot ask teachers to engage in group-planning during one of those planning periods.
Example:
A district that schedules 50-minute planning periods every day could ask teachers to plan as a group one day every two weeks, but the district could not take one planning period for group planning and another for staff development.

I've been looking now for about a year. I had one interview in North Conway. I want to move to NH more than anything, it's my dream. Anyone know of any possible openings? It's much appreciated. Thanks, Jackie
For those of you in New Hampshire, have you considered becoming substitute teachers in your local SAUs? This would be a sound avenue to pursue if you want to teach FT there. Local hiring practices and favoritism are the blocks. By being a sub, you can get to know the inner circles who run the schools, make a favorable impression, and when there is an opening, you will certainly be a viable candidate. Sorry but ya gotta play the game on their terms if you wish to win....
E-mail me your resume. I may be able to help you with that... On 2/08/07, Moonshadow wrote: > I too am looking for a teaching position. I moved here to > Wolfeboro in April.

I’m originally from NH and relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico because NM advertised they needed teachers desperately. There are no jobs here. I have my NH certification, but the only experience I have under my belt is student teaching. Which districts are first year teacher friendly? I want to come home.

It is an employment agency for teachers located in Manchester, NH. Give it a try... good luck to all, but please remember that local hiring practices prevail in the Granite State.... Andrew
I was a teacher in NY for 12 years before moving to the Northcountry. I could not DISAGREE with you more. My guess is that you have never taught here and based your assumption off of rumor and speculation. I was welcomed and made to feel 100% comfortable by my school.
i make no judgement on the schools in the Southern part of the state, please do not make judgements about us.
I am looking to relocate next year to NH. I would like to teach at any level; K-12. I currently teach high school art in NY. What are the odds I can find a job??
The Technology and Assessment Study Collaborative at Boston College (InTASC) developed tests to provide diagnostic information about algebraic misconceptions students may have. The testlets were validated during the summer and fall of 2006. InTASC is gearing up to start an experimental study designed to assess whether instructional interventions are effective in mediating some of the misconceptions piloted in the summer and fall. The study is scheduled to start on February 19, 2007 and it will run until March 23, 2007. Algebra teachers who teach grades 8 or 9 are eligible to participate and teachers who participate will qualify for a a $250.00 stipend.
