Nevada Teachers Chatboard

This is my third year of teaching at CCSD. I was told by a teacher at my school that we will not receive the step on the payroll schedule for the next school year. I called the district and of course they refused to give me a straight answer.

I am currently in UT but previously taught in Clark County. I may need to move back and just received the email that my application was approved. Do I start calling schools where I would like to work, schools only listed on the CCSD website, or schools that have openings listed on Interact?

Yeah, and when parents were asked to vote in WCSD, On 6/18/13,

they were given two options: 1. this changed calendar; 2. this changed calendar.

There should have been a third option: 3. keep the current calendar

Another Disingenuous Propaganda Piece by the Review-Urinal

by Teachers better wake up.

Jun 24, 2013

There is a well funded, well organized effort to put you in the unemployment line, that is unless you want to work for $11 an hour.

CCSD and Relocating

by Liz

Jun 27, 2013

I'm thinking about moving from Detroit to NV and wanted to know is it possible to get hired in CCSD as a re-locater. I know may places may prefer people who already live there. I teach elementary but also have my special ed. endorsement. I'm look for regular elementary positions.

OP They're regular elementary education, not special education. They are both first year teachers.

My school has a high ELL population. We used to have a full- time teacher that handled all the testing, paperwork, and worked with small groups of students.

Several years ago the district eliminated those positions and now we have cl...See More

License

by New

Jul 24, 2013

Does anyone know how long after submitting an application for licensure it takes for them to start reviewing it? I have a license in PA and my application should have arrived In Nevada July 17th and I included my conditional offer of employment. I'm driving cross country to move to Nevada this Sat and nervous about possibly being left high and dry.

Backlogged they are...there are a lot of teachers from other states trying to take jobs here thinking it will be better than where they are. Make sure you are prepared to take a second job as many have to do this. Many teachers come from back east thinking it will be great to live in Las Vegas, then get stuck with a long commute to their school because they get moved 1/2 way through the year as teachers with more seniority take their job to be closer to where they live. I welcome all the out of state teachers, but you better be sure your states license can be picked up here. Nevada does not fit with very many states and there will be many classes to take and more Praxis tests to take to teach here. You will also get stuck in a school you may not want for 2 years or more and be moved a couple of times, which is out of your control. I was in 3 schools in 2 years because I kept getting moved until I went and got a Science degree so now I can stick where I want. Math, Science and Spec Ed degree holders can pretty much write their own ticket here(school wise I mean)..There was a lot of openings this year and you may not get in til after the year starts, then get moved in the middle of the year, but it is a good job once in and established. Good luck and remember to do your homework and talk to some teachers if you can
