Hello everyone, My husband is getting into a new career field and we are moving to Oregon. I am a teacher of 26 years. I am from Texas, so I am familiar with the STAAR test. Can anyone give me some tips to get hired in Oregon?

go to talk about things that may only be Oregon-related.
Good to meet you!

by a peer", as following: 1.- they give the students a
chapter to read

I am a new teacher this year. I am working near Salem at a
very small school. I was hired two weeks after school
started in a third grade classroom. It took me lots of
hours and week-ends, as you could imagine, to turn the
classroom I was hired to work in into MY classroom. I am
very dedicated to the children in my care. I recently had
an evaluation from the principal at my school which stated
that she is not recommending me for rehire next year. I
was on probationary status. She stated reasons, such as
not returning a manditory survey at the beginning of the
year and having some trouble with classroom management.
She also felt that I seemed to lack common sense, which I
feel is unprofessional of her. Her only reason for that
comment was that I seemed to not know anything during a few
meetings. She also had a problem with my scores in math
and writing. She stated that it SEEMED TO HER that I
didn't know much about scoring and such. No help was
offered. I feel at this point that I was betrayed by her
from the very start. I was given one informal observation
and no formal observations to this date. She says she
bases her opinions on walk bys that were done at the
beginning of the year. I have felt like this whole year I
have had to defend myself which has effected my teaching.
I know that you are not aware of my abilities or my
knowledge of teaching, but just the mere fact that I am
dedicated to my classroom and learning all I can to help
the children. I am willing to work hard as I am always at
school until six or seven. I was wondering if anyone out
there has any advice for me as to what I can do. I have
already spoken to two union representatives. One was
absolutely appalled at the treatment of a new teacher, the
other is wondering how we can figure this out for my
benefit. I would like information from someone who may
know what I can do to clear my good name and perhaps
negotiate to get a resignation in my file. I have since
learned that this principal as previously been fired from
her job and had to be rehired after a public outrage do to
a lack of principalship at the elementary school. If
anyone has any information they would be willing to provide
for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

years and am now looking to advance in my career and teach
in a public school district. I'm concentrating on districts
such as Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard-Tualatin, West Linn-
Wilsonville, Newberg, Sherwood, and others in this area.
I am looking for advice and ideas on how to make it a
rewarding experience for me. I am really hoping that I
will be able to schedule some interviews while I am there.
I would appreciate any tips that can possibly help me to be
noticed enough to receive an interview.
Thank you,
