I am looking forward to returning to Tennessee to teach English and/or Social Studies. I have a masters degree in education, and a bachelor degree in HR mgt. with additional majors in English and Social Studies.
I have also spent the last three years teaching abroad in Egypt, Taiwan and ALbania in an attempt to gain additional knowledge and understanding of world cultures and ideas. It has always been my intention to bring this knowledge, understanding, and experience back to the U.S. to be more effective in the classroom.
Please don't hesitate to e-mail me. I will be happy to e- mail you scanned copies of my resume, teaching certification, transcripts, etc.

Thank you, Cydney Miller

I have a master degree in education K-6th from Old Dominion University. I am going to be relocating from VA to TN. What are job prospects like in Tennessee. I am coming from a state that has ranked number one in the country for child success rates. We in Virginia are very proud of our high quality education system. Does anyone know where Tn ranks. I look forward to some input. Thanks Amy

You can always sub. in Memphis City Schools or Shelby County Schools here in memphis or work as a teacher at private schools. There are other options. Subbing is not that hard but teaching in Memphis City Schools is. Just want you to know.

I am highly qualified in biology, general science, English, and psychology in TN. I have 22 years teaching experience along with 30 semester hours above a master's. I retired from teaching in 2005, but that was a mistake. I really do miss teaching. If anyone would be in need of an experienced and creative teacher, please contact me.

As I am nearing retirement in Alabama, I am wondering what my chances would be to teach afterward in Tennessee. I have several friends who do. I live right over the state line and could drive in everyday. Does anyone know what school districts might possible have vacancies?
As an education student (seeking 4-8 licensure—midlife career change), I frequently hear about the No Child Left Behind requirements for “highly qualified teachers” and the emphasis on student testing to assess teachers. All the while we are reassured that we will be teaching students, not tests. Are teachers really feeling the pressure to teach tests to assure job security?

I have been a teacher for 35 years and you will teach the test or find another job, I will guarantee you that.

I feel so sorry for our students. Boy are you right about that. Please run for office, we need you
At one point, they were giving a sign on bonus. You might look up on the computer if that is still the case. I did not know anyone on that side of the state and did not want to move there.

I am in my second semester of Education classes and there is a great deal said about assessing the student and reteaching the skill if it is not mastered. I substitute at the elementary school level and know how jam packed an academic day usually is. When and how do you reteach a skill that a student has not mastered. Sometimes it is hard enough to fit recess in let alone to reteach. In order to be prepared for the upcoming benchmark or TCAP tests, there doesn't seem to be time for reteaching. There has to be an art to this. Please advise.
