Substituting In More Than One County?

by SouthFLTeacher

Jan 23, 2010

Does anyone happen to know if you are allowed to substitute teach for more than one county at the same time? I am planning on moving to TN within the next few years, and I am already preparing myself with the idea that I will have to substitute teach in order to get a full-time teaching job (with the way the economy is right now). I know that there...See More

Jaime Hey there,

Honestly, any of the larger 'metro' areas will need you (so long as you're highly qualified of course :) ). Ignore the rants and raves about NO money and what not in these larger counties b/c in the end, there's ALWAYS a need for math and science.

I'm in Hamilton Co and I know they're always all the lookout for new ma...See More

Lay-Offs in East TN?

by SouthFLTeacher

Jan 31, 2010

I am wondering if East Tennessee is having issues with having to lay off teachers. I know that school budgets are getting slashed across the country, but Florida is laying teachers off every year. Last year, my county laid off 400 teachers. Is East TN experiencing lay offs as well? A friend of mine was laid off in Asheville, NC last year, so I am w...See More

National 2010 Youth Contest

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 â€“ young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what todayâ€™s youth have to say about the question, â€œWhat does equality mean to you?â€ To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.

In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.

The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws â€“ remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, â€œWhat does equality mean to you?â€ Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways â€“ by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Please contact NCRCR at [email removed].

We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.

Many thanks,

Naoma Nagahawatte The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights __

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.
