Hi all. I'm actually not planning on moving to Oregon after I finish grad school, but I was still curious how the teacher employment situation is going. Two years ago, I had hoped to move there, but no more! I'm actually moving to a state where they NEED teachers and are even offering incentives. Still, Oregon will always be my "first love." :) So, any improvements? Or are teachers with PhDs still working in retail? :)
there are no jobs in social studies trust me, only way to get a job in social studies is your buddies with the superintendent or principal, or you are the "head coach of the football team" and or you are best of friends with the administrators. LOL
or you happen to be best friends with a history teacher at that site you want to work at, and he/she decides to recommend you for the job haha
well seriously, there are no jobs in history, and the job market for social sciences is tight, in the secondary job market I guess one way to help you get hired is be fluent in "SPANISH" this is the best way to get hired no matter what subject, I would also recommend you either double major, special education, or pass the PRAXIS or state exams in mathematics or Science,
right now there are plenty of jobs all over the states for math and science teachers.!!!! none for elementary or social science, they're the toughest.
ohh one more recommendation, I am telling you from experience, I majored in political science, but I knew there were no jobs in history, so I minored in biology, so I could pass the state exams for the sciences. it is a good plan, and I suggest if you really want to teach, get certified in another subject area as well as history, so when a history teaching position ever opens up, you will get it

Help!! I recently threw out my C-best test results (they were so old!) and now that I've moved and need Washington certification I need them. Any ideas on how to get a copy from 1988---test taken at EOU in LaGrande OR?
Hello, My name is Kristen I live outside of Niagara Falls NY and I am helping my daughter's 3rd grade teacher organize a project. I am in need of willing participants. The project will consist of each participating class to make 16 paper gingerbread men, depicting facts about the area or state that you live in. I will include a link at the end of this email to a site that I got this idea from. This shows examples of gingerbread men they had received while doing a similar project. Then those 16 will be sent out, one to each of the participating schools from all around the country. This will teach the students many different skills including geography, map skills, writing and social studies. A bulletin board can be made with a map and when the gingerbread men are received, a map marker can be placed from that school. We will need 17 schools to participate, since you wouldn't send one to your own school. The students can brainstorm, research, and create the gingerbread men individually or as a group. If you are interested all I will need from you is your school address, and your name, so that I can give a list of class names to all participants. If you are not interested, please share this idea with another third grade teacher. I would like to get this project started right after Thanksgiving, so that the gingerbread men can be mailed out by December 10th. If you are interested please email me back by November 12th. This will allow for other classes to be contacted if you cannot participate. Here is the link to the similar project to give you a better idea. [link removed]
If you are a K-12 teacher in the United States, you are invited to participate in a study titled “Teacher Perception of Technology Integration in the Workplace: A National Study.” If you teach in a teacher education program, please feel free to forward this invitation to any graduates that you think might be interested in participating in this study. If you already filled out the survey, thanks for your assistance and please dismiss this message.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to investigate teachers’ perceptions of technology integration in the workplace as it relates to their self-confidence in computer use, their preparation in formal and informal technology courses in teacher education programs from which they have graduated, and administrative and technical support in their workplace.
Benefits: The findings could be used by teacher educators to revise technology courses and by K-12 school administrators to reconsider necessary support of technology integration for teachers’ practices. The benefits to you in participating in the study are receiving a copy of a summary of the study results.
Procedures to be Followed: You as a teacher are invited to participate in the study by completing a web-based survey. You will also be asked about your willingness to participate in a possible telephone interview. You do not have to agree to being interviewed in order to complete the survey.
If interviewed, you will be asked more detailed questions about your opinion on the type of experiences you had regarding technology integration during your teacher preparation program, whether you feel that you were adequately prepared, how you have used technology in your classroom, and your perception of the administrative and technical support that you have at your school.
Duration: The survey will take approximately 20 minutes of your time. The interview, if conducted, will take approximately 30 minutes.
Risks: There are no risks in participating in this study beyond those experienced in everyday life.
Compensation: There is no compensation for participating in this study.
Voluntary Participation/Alternative: Your participation in this project is voluntary. You have the right to withdraw at any time. You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to answer. The alternative is not to participate.

I am confused. What is the main difference between MAT degree and Masters of Ed. degree? I want to teach elementary school in Oregon and need to get a masters degree for a continuing license. Does anyone know the pros and cons for either degrees? I have a bachelors degree and have a California teaching credential. Thank you for anyone who can help me.

Greetings,
The higher degree is the MED degree. It is the most appealing as it relates to school districts. Are you more interested in pursuing administration in Education? Then go after the MEd. It will open opportunities to teach collegiately, but more than that "Go after your Dreams!"

The MAT is not a degree that every high-powered university offers; many stick to the Master of Arts in Education (MAEd) or the Masters in Education (M.Ed.) which are the more traditional degrees, training teachers in some cases but also training school administrators and education scholars. The MAT is designed to provide graduate level education to people who love to teach or who want to teach. These universities are have the top education programs in the nation that include the MAT as an option for education students.
There is some helpful information on making that decision on this site: [link removed]
I am trying to relocate an acquaintance Mucic Teacher from the 1950's in Wisconsin. Her name was Wilma Marie Noll (probably remarried and has later name) who moved to either the Eugene or Portland area about 1954 or 55 and probably lives in Portland area now. She would be in her late 70's so would have retired some time ago. I wish to wish her well and reminisce about old times. Any help you could provide to help me contact Wilma would be appreciated. Thank You S/G. Lowry

I am organizing an elementary valentine exchange. We don't have anyone signed up for Oregon!:( Surely there's someone out there!! If you would be interested in joining us, please email me ASAP! Here are the details: One class from each state is signing up to participate. I am compiling all mailing addresses. Your class (or a combination of classes or grade levels) will create a valentine card to send to each state in the US. You in return, will receive a valentine card from each state, possible marking the states on a map as you receive the cards. So many skills and so much fun!!
