My name is Jean-Paul Rochon, the current President of Manitoba Association of Secondary Teachers of At-Risk Students. We are hosting a one-day conference on Oct. 22, 2004, in Winnipeg at Canad Inns Fort Garry. The conference “The Power of One – Making a Difference” will feature Dr. Stephen Sroka, an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, author, teacher and educational consultant on sex, drugs and violence education. Dr. Sroka integrates cutting-edge research, humor and inspiring real- life stories to facilitate learning about student’s mental, emotional, social and physical health needs and issues. As well, comedian Dean Jenkinson and RB Russell High Community Action Theatre (At Risk Student program) will share the day. Cost for the conference, including continental breakfast and served hot lunch, is $70 Canadian.
It would be great to meet some of our southern neighbors to discuss issues and strategies!
I look forward to hearing from you.
J-P Rochon
p.s. Feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks
We still need a representative from your state. Please email me if you would like to participate in sending and receiving approximately 50 postcards from around the United States and a few other countries. We will be sending out the cards starting in September and finishing up before Thanksgiving. Take a look at the website I created to display last years cards for ideas of what to write on the back. It is a great opportunity to see the world without leaving your classroom. I look forward to hearing from you.
The following states are still needed to complete our Postcard Exchange: AL, AK, CO, CT, DE, DC, IA, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, MT, NV, NH, ND, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY
If you are interested, please e-mail me your school address. We would love to have you. To find out more about the Postcard Exchange, read on.
I teach 5th grade and find that a postcard exchange ties in well as a geography review, as well as writing--the format of a postcard.
If you choose to join, your job will be to send each participant a postcard. Usually I have my class create one postcard and then photocopy and glue it on individual postcards. In the letter we include information about our state and our school.
Then when we receive the various cards from other states we display them on a bulletin board. I put a U.S. map on the wall and everytime I receive a card we put a pin in that city/state and attach the postcard.
My students love receiving the postcards. They have an opportunity to learn little things about states and schools.
At the end of the summer I will be e-mailing all of the participants a list of addresses that will be involved in the exchange. Usually we have about 30 states, I would love to get all 50 states, but I haven't had that happen yet. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you are interested so I can add your state to our list.
Hi, I am Miss M, a 5th grade teacher, from MS. Your state is needed for a K-6 postcard exchange. We'll only be accepting one address from each state. Please keep in mind that you will be responsible for sending a postcard representing your state to all of the 49 states on the list. I will send you a list of all teachers participating in September. The list will close on September 30 or as soon as we have all 50 states. Help me spread the word! We will mail out postcards the month of October. IF you are interested please email me at [email removed].
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!).
If you'd like to join and your state is listed above, please give me:

Thanks so much! My 3rd graders & I look forward to hearing from you soon!
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
