How many teachers have lost their jobs in the past two or three years?
Is your school a TAP school? How has being a pilot TAP school changed the way you are paid (pay for performance), as well as how you are evaluated?

Do you need supplies for your classroom? Is the state not allowing enough for those supplies? Is your already strapped budget causing you to dip into money for your personal life?

Is the state not allowing enough for those supplies? Is your already strapped budget causing you to dip into money for your personal life? I am a South Carolina native, born and raised. My child just entered public school this year in Sumter, SC and I am going to hand out to you the same chance to earn free money for your classroom as I am his school.
I am an Independent Consultant with Thirty-One, a faith based company from Proverbs 31 in the bible about a virtuous woman. We strive to celebrate, encourage, and reward women who want to succeed in life and provide for their families all the while watching them grow. My wish for you is to be able to provide you with some FREE money for classroom supplies by doing 1 simple thing.
Book a home, catalog, or online party with my by August 31st (I will travel up to 2 hours away for a home show) and I will donate 10% of my earnings back to you for your classroom. All you have to do is come up with 40 people with names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses and I will mail the invitations for you. Please feel free to visit my website at [link removed].
Also any parties that I book from your party, I will donate another 5% back to your school for any supplies that the school may need!! Why am I doing this? I have one child in school, and two more that have yet to enter public school. I have always had a passion for school and want my children to have the same, however that seems impossible with the odds against our education system. My hope is that I can provide some much needed help in a system where help seems lost.

Taking a poll. Would like to know if your state is paying the stipends.
I can tell you Illinois is not!
Has anyone heard if the SELECT program was going to be funded again this year? The SELECT program is a federal program that pays up to $1200 per graduate class for teacher seeking their first graduate degree. I was told in the spring that it was uncertain if funding would be available for 2010-11. Anyone heard anything?

The American Turkish Society's Education Program is pleased to announce the availability of Curriculum Development Grants for 2011.
The program, which was initiated by The Society in the spring of 2010, offers funds to elementary and secondary school teachers to develop innovative curricula, projects and other classroom activities about Turkey. The Society’s first Curriculum Development Grant was awarded to Harry A. Dawe, former Headmaster of Robert College in Istanbul and current history teacher and college counselor at the Fieldston Upper School in Bronx, New York. Mr. Dawe received support for History 181: East Meets West, for which he developed course material and two chapters of a history text book for use with eleventh and twelfth graders.
Grants vary between $250 and $2,500, and cover the costs of research, materials, speakers, and other expenses incurred by the school or the teacher. The amount of each grant is determined by the project’s scope, the availability of total funds, and the number of projects selected through a competitive process. The American Turkish Society encourages all applicants to identify additional sources of funding where possible. Once selected, grantees will be free to develop their proposed projects without editorial input from The Society. They will, however, participate in follow-up activities for evaluation purposes and will be asked to share any teaching plans, materials and activities with The American Turkish Society for future dissemination.
Application Process: Spring Semester, 2011
Application deadline: November 1 Notification: December 1
Please submit proposals including:
1. A 2-page summary of the proposed project detailing the tools, materials, and methods to be used; the objectives and anticipated impact; and the teacher's relevant qualifications; 2. A project budget, including a detailed breakdown of costs and the grant amount requested; 3. The teacher’s CV; and 4. A letter of support from the teacher’s school.
Interested parties should send proposals to The American Turkish Society at [email removed].
For questions and additional information, please email [email removed].
