Dear Ron,
we are now looking for a part time ESL teacher in Portland for a student. She would like to have the training on Mon, Wed & Thurs mornings. If you are interested to know more about this job, please feel free to contact me at:
Are you looking for a school district? If that is the case, yes they are desperate for esl teachers. I am not, and thus I can't find a job. Look at hillsboro, beaverton, west linn, wilsonville, salem.

Randy, I have a question for you. I just got a California Multi Subject preliminary credential and is thinking about moving to Portland. I tried to get info from various websites on how to get a teaching license in Oregon, but the info is very confusing. Do you happen to know if I can teach Elementary school with my CA credential without taking anymore classes? I read that you can apply for a transitional license which is good for 3 years, but if you want a continuing license, you need to get a Masters Degree....which I am not too thrilled about. Do you or anyone happen to have any info about this? Thanks in advance. -Shelley
Look at the thread I posted about on sub teaching, right above. Melissa.

I am 33 years old and have come to a point in my life where I want to have a job that I really LIKE. When I was in my early 20s I attended Penn State as an Elem. Ed major. I took 60 credits and could not afford to stay in school so I went to work instead.
Now I am living in Oregon and my mind keeps reverting back to teaching. I was thinking about taking up the Early Childhood program at the Portland Community College. They had two different certifications, and a 2 year degree.
This would allow me to get out and work in the field relatively quickly (and who knows what might transfer from Penn State) as well as the credits could then be used to go for an Elementary degree later on, if I chose that route.
I was looking for some input into the field and some things that I should think about before making this decision. Any words of wisdom would be helpful.
I recently graduated from Pacific University, many of my classmates were older (35-57 years) and they were in the exact situation as you are. Today, they are all done and living the lives they have always wanted.
Go for it! Follow your passion for teaching....I guarantee you will be fulfilled.
Much luck, LCruz

Hi all, My husband and I are teachers from Berlin, CT. Rob recently authored his first book and several school districts across the country are using it with their kids. It's titled, A Winner by Any Standard: A Personal Growth Journey for Every American Teen and it promotes all the ideals upon which future success is built—e.g., optimism, gratitude, self-belief, a strong work ethic, a sense of wonder, humility, originality. Any word of mouth you can spread would be greatly appreciated as #1, it can empower young people and #2, the literary world isn't set up to accept/assist a schoolteacher with no national platform from which to promote.

Closing the Gap/NCLB/GEAR UP: "From High School to College, Boarding Pass to Success," book that will motivate Latino, African-American, other minorities and underprivileged students and help them to succeed in High School and in their race for College.
Information is power; sadly, even today, in the high tech information era, we can see that many kids (minorities or not) in low-income neighborhoods do not get beyond high school basically for lack of information and motivation.
Both inspirational and informative, this book traces the successful journey of a first generation Hispanic family in what represents for them "the land of opportunities," the USA, and their struggle to bring their children into Ivy League universities against all odds. If these children were able to do it, every child that follows their path can succeed. By encouraging the goal of getting a college degree in order to have a better life and to give a better life to your own kids, by showing that caressing a dream that can come true, that pursuing a goal that can be reached will definitely make a positive impact in their lives.
The story is complemented with practical information: A five-page detailed chart, "The Landmarks Along the Road," that shows, step by step, what needs to be done throughout the four years of high school, indicating not only deadlines, but approximate starting dates which will allow students to complete each step on time; an extensive list of useful URLs of sites with free practice tests, and a section on how, and where get funding for college.
Since the book details, step by step, what they need to do in high school to prepare for college, it can be assigned as a required reading in the summer between middle school and high school, or in the summer of the freshman year, when they still have time to close the gap so no child is left behind.
For further information or READ SOME CHAPTERS go to: [link removed]
There are a couple of ways in which you can encourage your students to read the book: including it in the reading lists, so they buy it and read it, designate some of the "Gear Up" funds to purchase it for the minority and low income neighborhoods kids who cannot afford it.
Should you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I'm looking for a workbook for the U.S. History books for 8th grade students. The workbook has section quizes for each chapter in the text book. Does anyone know where I could get one.
A site that offers us a chance to share our assessment tools, safely and for free, is askservices.net. It has a few things for 8th grade, but will have more as it grows. About 400 things there now, all grades and subjects.
