Je...See MoreI think she was asking about speech/theater organizations, but the POE is an organization for educators of all stripes, including administrators. Am I right? It's a more conservative organization than the NEA, I think. In our district we have teachers who are members of POE as well as teachers who are members of our local NEA affiliate.

I am trying to find out as much information about becoming a substitute teacher in Lawton, OK. My husband is in the Army and I would like to have a "part time" job. Any information or advice on how to become a substitute teacher would be much appreciated. I need to know all of the requirements, tests, fees, etc. Thanks!
In Newcastle, Ok, not too far from you the only requirement is to pass an OSBI background check. Unfortunately, if you're not certified, they only pay $45 per day. I don't know what it takes to become certified in Oklahoma, if you do, will you please let me know? You may try asking the local school secretary. That's what I did.
I substitute for Lawton Public Schools right outside of Fort Sill. You need 60 credit hours, a copy of your drivers license (proof of ID) and a copy of your college transcript. It doesn't have to be an official copy. The pay is $60 a day if you don't have a teaching certificate and $65 if you do. Currently the budget is low and they are not using subs. However they are going to start back taking applications for subs for Lawton Public Schools after August 1, 2010.
Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Please contact NCRCR at [email removed].
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.
Hi! Does anyone know what other states accept the OK Alternate Teaching Credentials? I am in the process of submitting information to the OK school districts however I want to teach history in 2010 so I need to pursue all possibilities. Thanks for assistance

Not sure about other states. You may have to take the individual state's General Ed test. I don't think Oklahoma transfers as well as some other states.

My district will not allow me to use all of my sick days for maternity leave without a doctors note. My doctor is planning to release me after 6 weeks. Does anyone know if I have to start my maternity leave immediately after having the baby or can I use my personal days at the beginning?
for the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee for placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.
As for taking all of your leave (sick days), you need to check your negotiated contract, and contact your member's rights person for your district's teacher association.

I am interested in teaching pre-algebra or algebra I at the high school level (9-12). I am also interested in teaching remedial math students. Would I be qualified to teach any of these with an Intermediate endorsement? Also I have heard that with nclb high school teachers will only be able to teach subjects they have a degree in. Is this true?
