I am running the 40th Reunion for the Class of 1971. I am looking for teachers from Union High School from that time frame to extend an invitation to them. We would really love to have them there. Please contact Barbara at: [email removed]
Yes, so very true. Besides the hiring issue, also, who gets the best schedule, who gets to leave early, on and on.
Does our boy Christie want to fix education? Start there.

This, of course, is right before massive scheduled lay offs. While I was hired to teach, and have only taught, ONE grade in my district, I'm certified to teach other grades. I guess my question is, would they involuntarily transfer me if they needed a teacher to teach another grade, and would I have any recourse if they did that??
Let's not forget all the teachers who lost their jobs--and possibly their careers this week.

I was just wondering if anyone was interested in authoring educational resources for a World History product that Boardworks are currently developing.

Our editors work closely with authors to produce exciting and flexible content, delivered in PowerPoint. Our authors are often full-time teachers who write during evenings, weekends or vacations.

I've tried getting information from the state, so i have my non-identifying information,i've tried search engines i've tried everything!!!. I was adopted in '91 from Rockland County NY. Since I have my non-identifying information with me,the most narrow bit of information i have is from my biological grandmother. She was of Italian descent,in 1991 was 50yrs old, was 5'0'' about 120lbs and was small built. She had brown eyes and grey hair(originally brown) with an olive complexion. She had a Masters in English and a Phd pending in English also so i'm under the assumption that she was an english teacher. She is Catholic and she was a high school teacher in Paterson NJ and wore glasses. I don't know if she was married or not because the papers correlate to my biological mother's information. But if she was married , he is a man of Dutch descent, was 53 in 1991, 6'2'' weighed 200lbs and was large built. He had blue eyes,brown hair and had a fair complexion. and he was a janitor in Hawthorne NJ but it doesn't specify where. My biological mother's name is Patricia Gordan( She was married to an African American and i don't have my biological dad's name), and she has 3 brothers, but the information given to me doesn't specify if these brothers were from the same mother.All this information is based on my papers from 1991.
I've called schools in Paterson NJ and most were very unsuccessful, since i dont have a name. I've asked them to maybe check 1991 yr books to see if someone fit the description and most were very hesitate to help me. If anyone knows anything, maybe knows her or willing to help me, i will be forever grateful. I'm fighting this as much as possible and i'm 100% determined to find my biological family

Honeywell and New Jersey Audubon Society Program to Inspire Educators for the Fourth Consecutive Year
Providing Hands-On Educational Tools to Teachers Through Discovery of the Hackensack Watershed
MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J. – May 19, 2011 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) and New Jersey Audubon (NJA) announced today that for the fourth consecutive year in a row, scholarships are available for the annual Honeywell Institute for Ecosystems Education for middle and high school science and social studies teachers. This year the program is being expanded to include teachers from Hudson, Bergen, Morris, Essex and Passaic County. The summer institute will take place August 15 – 19 and brings together classroom instruction with diverse outdoor experiences at sites throughout the Hackensack watershed to better engage and inspire students in the classroom.
The goal of the program is to provide teachers with up-to- date strategies and inspiring lesson plans that take the curriculum from the textbook to a unique, “hands-on” approach to geology, watershed dynamics, and human- ecosystems dependencies. Activities during the program led by environmental educators and naturalists include an exploration through forested and field habitats, an eco- cruise on the Hackensack River and investigation of both freshwater streams and tidal salt marshes.
“With increasing interest in sustainability, it underscores the need for teachers and students to have a solid foundation in environmental studies,” said Dale Rosselet, vice-president for Education, NJA. “Over the past 3 years about 80 teachers have graduated from the program and we are looking forward to another successful session with new field trip locations and other refinements to the learning agenda. Through the Honeywell Institute for Ecosystems Education, we can ensure that teachers possess the most effective educational strategies to engage their students in inquiry-based learning, and get them excited about the science.”
NJA has a nearly 50-year history of teaching experience- based nature studies and conservation in the state. Through the use of field study instruments and technologies, the program allows teachers to develop new and innovative methods to strengthen their lesson plans, including integrating natural system studies into their existing curriculum.
Teachers who participated in the program last August said:
- “I feel completely inspired to step back and re-do my plans, incorporating the "learning loop" and focusing more on the process as well as providing more direct experiences to my students.”
- “I would recommend it very strongly and enthusiastically because it gets you excited and inspired and you can't wait to get into your own classrooms to implement it!”
- “I would recommend this adventure because of the wealth of knowledge shared, and the terrific field site visits. The food was terrific, too.”
Honeywell’s corporate citizenship initiative, Honeywell Hometown Solutions, and NJA strive to provide teachers with additional resources to actively engage their students in the learning process.
“It is an exciting and proud milestone to be partnering with New Jersey Audubon for a program that brings a fresh perspective to learning for teachers and students each year,” said Tom Buckmaster, President, Honeywell Hometown Solutions. “As a leading technology innovator with almost half of its portfolio including energy efficient products, Honeywell is committed to bringing innovative thinking to the classroom and encouraging a new generation of environmental stewards.”
Twenty-eight teachers will receive free tuition for the summer institute, classroom resource materials, a monetary stipend for program completion and 30 hours of professional development credit. The program is aligned with New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards in Science and Social Studies.
Registrations are due by June 10, 2011. Teachers who are interested in applying can visit [link removed].

I want to transfer to an upper grade level. What reason can I give besides just plain burn-out. Dislike my job-but have bills-have taught the same grade level for ten years-need a change. Thanks
