Olga, Did you realize this is a chat group for Washington STATE teachers, not Washington DC? Sorry, I don't think we will be able to help you. Good Luck!
WASL time is coming up. I am already feeling the pressure to start abandoning what I feel is necessary to teach to start teaching to the test. Does anyone else have concerns about WASL?
For those of you who have used the Math Investigations program, I was wondering what you thought of it after using it a while. Did you follow the program strictly as it is laid out going page by page or did you modify and supplement? Was it effective? Whatever you can share would be great. Thanks
It is more effective than most but requires a commitment on the part of the teacher to understand the mathematics they are teaching. It is not sufficient to follow a daily plan. Reading the background material on the content is important. Shortcomings are in the area of differention, but overall, it's good, and the Math Workshop organization is the best way to go. Kathy Richardson's Developing Math Concepts is better in the Number Strand, and makes an excellent compliment to Investigations. Are you using the new version or the older one?

Hi, Kamiak Christian School in Spokane, Washington is looking for a teacher to teach in our lower grades for the 2008-2009 school year. Let me know if you're interested! Thanks, Brian Hays
Hello, my name is Brittany Klingaman and I have just graduated with a degree in Elementary Education at George Fox University. I have just returned from Africa on a study abroad/mission program and have a late start to my job search. Anyway, I am very interested in teaching and just came across your post. Can I get some more details about the position available and your school? Thanks so much!
I'm called Santa and live at the moment in Thailand, where I advice the School in new teaching method's. More fun and activity than chorelling and drilling.
I graduated four year ago with a PhD degree in Cognitive Studies in England. I live in Thailand and advice the schools in new teaching styles. I am very interested in teaching in another country, just for a good expirence.
So please send all details needed about the available position, the school, the program, the benefits, the salary and the accomodation.
There is a great deal of talk about getting good people to take up teaching, esp for the 'STEM' course areas. I have seen where some rural areas are so desperate for teachers in math and science that they allow their own students to fill in the vacancies. Estimates are that there will be very large gaps in the available talent pool of certified teachers. Many jurisdictions have got the message and are attracting talented but non-certified professionals from gov't and industry.
I have a considerable technical background and am an excellent teacher in the fields of science ( physics, chem, Earth sciences) , math, and engineering.
I used to reside in the Seattle area. Would I be able to teach in some area of WA if I were to return to the State?
Would greatly apprec comments by knowledgeble folks.
I am looking for a half-time elementary teaching position in the Vancouver area for fall of 2008. Does anyone know if job-shares are common in the local districts? Also-is the market pretty competitive? I taught for six years, fully credentialed, in CA and I have an M.Ed. I'd appreciate feedback from those "in the know". Thanks.
I may be posting a half time ESL position in Battle Ground. Are you ESL endorsed? Since you're from California, I assume you have experience and credentials in teaching English Language Learners.
Hi. I am studying for the April 26 Praxis II math teachers exam, and I am a little stuck on the topic of Discrete Math. Other than probability counting methods, the Discrete Math topics in the Praxis "Test at a Glance" file look sort of familiar, but I can't think of where I have had these before. So how do you study for this portion of the exam? There are not a lot of Praxis sample problems on this?
