It discusses all of the traps for first year teachers, and gives advice on everything from how to arrange your room to dealing with parents and administrators. The title is A Lesson Plan for Teachers, New and Old: A Guide for Student Teachers, New Teachers, and th...See More

Need Credits for 5-Year License Renewal

by nmg

Jul 25, 2009

I will be renewing my 5-year license for the first time next year and am out of the classroom. I need 6 semester hours or 9 quarter hours. Does anyone have any budget friendly options for me? I live in the Cleveland area.

Thanks!

Eileen Some possible options-Ashland University works with many organizations to allow you to earn credits for attending workshops-I think they are usually around $160 an hour. Remember the state has changed the requirements so that you can also get hours for serving on committees, attending profesional development for a dictrict, working on national boar...See More

moving to OH next summer

by jessia

Jul 29, 2009

When is the best time to find teaching positions posted online? I am moving to Lake County Ohio at the end of 2009-2010 school year. I have nine years experience in special education. I'm assuming that Ohio gives out contracts in the spring for the up coming school year. Should I start the hunt early 2010?

Tina/OH/5 I would gather a list of schools in that area that you might be interested in applying at. I would then do all that is needed to apply to those schools in early March/April. I'm about 1 1/2 hours SE of Lake County and we did a lot of hiring in April/Early May. You may want to check out to see if any of those schools has a website. Many districts ha...See More

Elizabeth This is what I would do, make a list of the schools districts in excel with their websites and dates across the top. Register on- line with them, but be prepared, they will not just call you even if you register. Visit the school's websites 3 times a week (keep track on your log)and call every other week from May through July. When jobs do post, th...See More

To renew or not renew?

by Teacher

Aug 1, 2009

I have a job in Indiana that I intend to stay at. I taught in Ohio a number of years, and my 8 year certificate is going to expire next summer.

My question is should I spend the money to renew/update this or just let it go? I intend to stay in Indiana, but obviously can't predict the future. Any thoughts? Suggestions welcomed.

Let it go! I was in a similar situation as you; however, I had three two-year provisional licenses (Intervention Specialist, Multi-Age and Middle Childhood). I still live in OH, but work in WV. This is my fourth year working in WV, and I love it. I make as much in the county I work in as I would if I had gotten a job in OH, which was impossible! I can literal...See More

Ohio transplant I agree with "let it go". It cost me $250.00 plus the cost of the Praxis exam to get an Ohio license from GA. I will keep renewing my GA license as the cost is $20.00 and I only have to take 5 hours within the next five years in order to do so. That I can handle. Having to get multiple licenses in order to cover all of your credentials is a big sca...See More

Southern transplant This school year will be my second year without a fulltime teaching position. Having your special education degree alone makes it much more likely that you will get a position. Math and science positions are also great areas to become HQ. Do you have a masters? Go to [link removed].

by G. Joseph Colucci

Aug 11, 2009

Now that the State of Ohio has determined that The National Board For Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification is not worth funding. All NBPTS holder in the State of Ohio should not apply, support or recongize the Master Teacher Program the state is trying to start. Thanks for listening.

Southern transplant I have only lived in Ohio for a year and am unfamiliar with how National certification has changed. Can someone explain? I know that the process of gaining national certification isn't easy but what does it mean in general and what has changed in Ohio.

too much education and experience

by just wondering

Aug 22, 2009

Is it true that the majority of the teacher's salary is paid through local funds? If so, do you think that someone with a higher degree and more experience could be passed over for someone with a lower degree and no experience? Does that really happen?

just wondering I am in area about an hour west of Cleveland. The district is small so your chances of finding a job might improve if you are looking at a bigger district. Even though the funding for education here is so messed up that the local districts are having a hard time passing levies. The other choice is to have open enrollment to raise money which tends ...See More
