How is the job outlook in your state? I am certified Lang. Arts 5-9 and my spouse 6-12 History? How is the cost of housing? Do you have unions and step increases? thanks for any info.
I feel sorry for those that went to school for an El. Edu. degree. Now, you are stuck with loans and no job. Teacher shortage is a lie. I was not that naive and duped into believing this lie.
Thanks for the information, though discouraging. I had the same question; we've been thinking of relocating to the Yamhill Valley area in about two years; maybe I'll reconsider.

Here's how our exchange works: You are responsible for obtaining, writing and mailing 49 postcards (one to each state). The postcards should have info about your state, your classroom, etc. Please mail your postcards towards the end of September/early October. I will mail out the address list when it's completed (hopefully soon!).

Hello, I am freaking out. Can someone please tell me if it is true that I need a Masters Degree if I want to continue teaching in Oregon? Here is my situation. I jumped through many hoops in California to get an Elementary teaching credential. I am jobless and now in debt. I gave up looking for a teaching job in California, b/c there is none. I am planning to move to Portland, Oregon. I was doing some research on TSPC website, and they are saying that after the Initial license, I have to get a Masters Degree if I want a continuing license. IS THIS TRUE??? It will be hard enough for a beginning teacher to survive the first couple of years of teaching, but on top of that, they expect me to live on a teacher's salary, afford college tuition, raise two small children, and find the time and money to get a Masters Degree? Is there an alternate route to get a continuing teaching license? This just sounds so absurd. I would appreciate some info from you Oregon teachers. Thanks. -Shelley
I have taught in Oregon. Yes, you need a Masters. However, since you have an out of state license you can apply for a transitional license. You then have 3 or so years to get your Masters and complete the required tests. I left Oregon because of this and so much more. Email me if you want to know more. Melissa.

This is the best site I have ever been to! Thought to take advice from few of you about Job sponsorship for my cousin who is in India and is willing to teach in NC region.
She has done her Masters in Science and she has scored the highest in the
University with a distiction and GPA of 4.0. Currently she is teaching in India.
Tha school was fully supported by Mother Teresa and Mother herself spent few years assisting the school programs in diffirent ways. My cousin wants to come and teach here for one year to understand educational patterns sp that she can go back to India after one year and teach on the same lines which are more technology driven and system- centric
Plz advice me from where to start? and how I can approach to the schools to set her up for this.Her major is in Science- Biology, Physics, Maths and she is teaching from more than 3 yrs in India.
Any guidance will be highly appreciated towards her Visa sponsorship which will let her work for atleast 1 year, if not one year atleast 3-6 mnths which will give her enough time to understand the teaching patterns here in USA. Thank you

Hello, Don't know if you found the store you are looking for. There is 5 Learning Palace stores to serve you. The main one is in Mall 205 in Portland OR. There is also one in Salem, and hopefully you were able to locate it, but I do not have the number. The number for the Mall 205 store is (503) 251-1833. Hope this helps.

Click on the Survey Section and proceed to take the online survey. Our goal with this research study is to find answers as to why teachers stay in education for more than twenty years.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Due to recent developments, the Baldwin Wallace College Research Team has decided to expand our research study. The original concept of the study was to find answers as to why secondary educators stay in the teaching field for more than 20 years. However, due to the overwhelming response from participants and observers of the study, a new more significant development has revealed itself. Our research team is now progressively moving towards the development of a significant grounded theory for a qualitative-quantitative study. More details on this new development will be shared in the upcoming weeks on our website.
Our research team is still accepting surveys from Secondary Teachers with more than 20 + years of experience. The data collected thus far, and in the future will be a factor in the overall study. The deadline for the completion of our online survey is November 4, 2004. I urge any secondary teacher with 20 + yrs of experience to take the survey. The survey consists of ten questions and no personal data has to be given. The data from the survey is directly sent to the researchers. The survey can be taken in eight different languages included English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Japanese, and Chinese.
Come join us. Be a part of educational research history. Let your voice be heard along with the many teachers from around the world who have participated. Thank You.
