Nevada Teachers Chatboard

The BEST schools or close to it

Apr 20, 2015

I have posted before about possibly moving to Nevada so I can actually teach. I have also seen many horror stories of principals over stepping their boundaries. With this in mind, can anyone comment on particular schools that are good and or certain areas/regions that are decent. Thanks.

is CCSD having a Principal Bullying public forum on a Tuesday at 10 am when no Teachers can be there and many parents are working? They DO NOT want to hear the truth that the Principals are completely over-stepping their bounds and treating Teachers with no respect. There are many great ones out there, Principals I mean, but anymore the newer ones ...See More

Anthony Teach5, you are completely correct. And the principals have help from academic coaches, facilitators, lit. Specialists, teachers on special assignment, and sycophants in general.

Foothill HS-Henderson

Any comments about teaching at Foothill HS?

by Noel

Mar 19, 2015

Remember she gas to be interviewed like a new hire. They say there will not be any bad evals this year because the principals evils are based partly on the teachers. If she has not been told by one she must be getting a good eval. 15 times is ridiculous. If she is probationary be careful, they will just tell her they won't renew her contract.

Teacher Shortage - Clark County

Oct 8, 2014

I am seriously considering moving to Las Vegas in order to get a teaching job. Are the teachers treated fair and is the compensation adequate. Also, any ideas on best schools to apply at. Thanks

anon You have to have TEN years, 40 quarters, to eligible to
collect Social Security retirement benefits.

However you are subject to major penalties if you worked
in a state like Nevada that doesn't pay into the system. I
already mentioned those penalties.

It's really not worth working in these non-covered states

Transfer update

by Teach5

Feb 11, 2015

My wife has now had her Principal in 3 times in the last week watching her. SHe was in tears when I got home the other night. That is 14 times so far this year and even teachers with over 15 years at her school are ready to walk out because it is happening to them also.

Failing Schools

by Noel

Jan 26, 2015

The schools don't fail, the students fail. Why? We can t teach the basics of English. They want a kid to write an essay before they can write a sentence. Yes, it's called Springboard! The kids hate it and the teachers are with them. 7th graders can't spell,can't write and have no interest in learning because sending messages and playing games is mo...See More

Nevada teachers don't have tenure, which doesn't exist for
K12 teachers anyway. They are just post-probationary. If
an administrator wants to get rid of you, he or she can do
it because Nevada districts thumb their noses at the law
hoping a teacher will sue and settle out of court. The
administrative hearings are jokes in that s...See More
