Hi, I am wondering if anyone has used pathway 2 to add an elementary endorsement by completing the pedagogy assessment. Would you please share your experience? Was it extremely difficult or doable?
I am looking for someone who has taken the west-e visual arts test, and can give me some pointers. There is so much that could be on the test. Any help or advice would be welcome. Thanks, Dan
I have 2 boxes right now, but will have tons more in t...See MoreI used to teach ELA in Texas before I quit to pursue writing full time up here in Seattle. As I'm going through my boxes and unpacking, I'm finding tons of stuff I no longer need (teaching books, middle school YA books, lesson plan books, office supplies like pencils, notebooks, etc.).
I have 2 boxes right now, but will have tons more in the coming months. I'd like to find a teacher or three near me (I'm in Magnolia in Seattle) who'd like to have it. I know teachers always need more supplies and help. If I'm not teaching anymore, I figure someone should benefit from what I have.
Hi, I just finished up my teaching certification program in Arizona. My husband is now looking at different schools in which to obtain his Master's degree. We were looking at information about Washington, the Seattle area, to determine if that would be a good place to move to. Unfortunately, I still have a lot of research to do still, and was wondering if I could get some non-biased information from others who live in Washington.
1. What is the situation like for teacher's in Washington? Overall, is it good, bad, new teacher's beware?
2. How does the salary compare to the cost of living (my husband will be going to school full-time so my salary would be the predominant one)? For example, could two adults, and one child live on a teacher's salary?
3. We would like to have our own house in a decent area, is this actually feasible given a teacher salary?
4. Is there a good resource of childcare available?
Is there any other information that I should know? State information?

I am a single parent teaching in Washington. It is a nice place to live but it is very expensive. On one teacher's salary you would not be able to afford a home in a decent neighborhood. Also, it is very difficult to get a job unless you know someone in the district you are applying. The state has a tendency to give raises and then take them back. We currently have a 2.5 billion dollar shortfall in revenue predicted. Most districts are laying off teachers.
Washington is having difficult times right now because the state is cutting its budget. Education is going to get hit real hard. The Seattle area is one of the most expensive areas to live. There are teaching jobs but---the base pay here is $28,000 approx. and the cost of living is high in and around Seattle. I just finished my certification last May and did not find work unless I was willing to relocate. Retired teachers are able to get rehired here in Washington which makes it more competitive for new teachers. I heard they are looking for teachers in AZ. What is teaching like there?

What is the demand for English teachers at the secondary level in the Spokane area? That is, approximately how many positions become open each year? How many people apply, and how many are hired?
I need to complete a training research proposal for trade adjustment assistance for teaching certification from Eastern. I'm required to contact three employers, the human resource offices of different districts, and ask questions like "How many openings do they anticipate?" and "How many applicants do they anticipate per opening?"
I did visit one district, but they couldn't help me much. They had no idea how to answer my questions. They don't know what is going to happen next year or the year after.
So, things don't look good for my research proposal. Can anyone here help me? What can I tell the counselor who needs to justify releasing funds to help me get teaching certification to teach English at the secondary level here in Spokane?
