Hi Everyone, I'm considering relocating to Virginia Beach from Las Vegas, but I would like some information about the High Schools. Can anyone tell me more about Kellam, Kempsville, Tallwood, and Princess Anne High Schools? I would like to know more about the Principals, students, and the schools. Thanks, April
As promised, here is the link to the lesson I did for the kids. It's a bit dark (sorry), but I was trying to set a mood. Part 1 runs about 9 mins and part 2 about 6. Please let me know if you enjoyed it and any suggestions you may have to improve the lesson.

I have to teach WH II for the first time in 5 years. Does anyone use any special video clips, assignments, or projects for this? It's a class of 10th graders.

2. What is the most rewarding thing about being a teacher? Seeing the light come on in their eyes when they "get it".
3. What recent trend has had a positive influence on the profession? The push to increase parent involvement.
4. What is your biggest challenge as an educator? Time management. 5. What do you believe are the most important character traits for a teacher to have? Patience, tenacity, and flexibility.
6. What professional development activity has been most valuable to you? Most recently, ways to incorporate Smartboard activities and keep my students engaged.
I am doing a bit of research on Virginia and Maryland teaching certification. I am trying to find out if VA and MD require criminal background checks to be processed by local law enforcement, the State Bureau of Investigations, or if private companies may be used. Thank you for any help.
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].
I just started teaching in a hospital setting. I have kids all on different levels. Any tips on how to teach them? Some are taking Earth Science, while others are taking Physical Science. Some are on 2nd grade level, while others are on a high school level. All of these students are teenagers. Thanks.
