Everyone, if you are an educator who can clearly identify the issues we face in education, ready to stand up, be counted, and actively speak out and raise our voice for the changes we all KNOW must be made - there is a movement making its way across the country to NY this November you should know about ([link removed]).

The One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education is an organization with a mission: to facilitate positive, critical change in educational processes and policies in 2008 and beyond.
The strategy at the heart of all activities and events hosted by The One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education is three-fold:
The first goal is to support and amplify the voices of educators, to gather useful information gleaned from their varied experience, and to organize and publish their suggested resolutions to problems plaguing academic systems.
Secondly, the organization is dedicated to the publication and dissemination of practical solutions and steps authored by the experts into the hands of the political, government, and business leaders to educate those that will invariably influence the future of learning in the United States and throughout the world.
Finally, The One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education will make every effort to raise the consciousness of its audience with regard to the positions, philosophies, perspectives, and track records of political candidates running for office with regard to issues of education.

I am contemplating going back to school to get my masters in Elementary Education and teaching in RI. Is there a demand for teachers in RI. I looked at alot of the public school websites and there are not many if any jobs posted. Do they just not post or is it a bad time like the rest of the economy. I would be out of school in a year.
A number (majority?) of schools in RI have their priorities mixed up, possibly due to the pressure to show positive results of state/fed programs. The common mantra heard throughout RI high schools is "Do whatever it takes to reduce the failure rate". To the general public this would mean differentiate instruction/assessment.

The common mantra heard throughout RI high schools is "Do whatever it takes to reduce the failure rate". To the general public this would mean differentiate instruction/assessment. Teachers have been doing this for years! To the insider, however, it means scale your tests, lower your expectations, pass a large majority of your students at any cost. This, of course, would explain why colleges are seeing higher and higher numbers of freshmen who require remedial reading, writing, and math. It's not incompetent teachers that are bringing the system to its knees, but we are the ones who are blamed. Public education is in a sad state these days. I don't know a single teacher that would advise his/her students to pursue a career in education. If I were younger I would change careers.
From what I read on national forums RI is not unique.
