I'm in secondary education so I don't know how this might sound, but my thought would to take them to a farm, or the zoo. I remember going with my little cousin to a farm and you can pet the animals and ride ponys. But now since it is fall and close to harvest (Halloween) maybe the corn maize and do a lesson about popcorn and corn? Just my thoughts.

Hi, I am taking the new West-E test for special education (070). Has anyone taken it already? What are you using to study? I can only find study guides for the old test. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would take it and then study all the questions you got wrong. The West E test can be really confusing...there will be multiple choice with at least 2 answers that could result in the correct answer...

I just seeking out some advice on teaching jobs in Washington State. I'm currently teaching at an international school in Thailand, but I'm ready to return to the States after living abroad for 6 years. I'm a California licensed teacher, but I'm much more interested in Washington (I lived in Oregon for 7 years).
What is the job market supposed to be like next year? I realize it's tight but will it be really bad? I could stick it out at my current school one more school year and the return-- maybe it would be a lot better then.
I wish I could offer you more ad...See MoreHi Mike, Interestingly enough I am curious about teaching abroad. Can you tell me a little about where you have taught the last six years? Was the overall experience positive? I have heard some horror stories about teaching abroad through illegitimate agencies. Any advice you can offer is much appreciated.
I wish I could offer you more advice on the job market here next year. I will still be in school finishing my masters. It seems to be a good place to be for the time being. Thanks!

Is there anyone in the state of Washington or the Seattle area who is tired of fighting against the stream in a child-centered, constructivist educational world and who would like to start a project to create a school with a more traditional, teacher-led approach? If so please contact me.
What is the state of Deaf Education in the East/South Sound regions? Is it possible to find a job? Is it in need? I'm also willing to branch off in the Special Education rooms if necessary to get started in the area.
I dual majored in Elementary Education and Special Education with a Minor in Deaf Education and have my Masters in Deaf Education.
I think there is a high demand for Deaf Educators...and I'm talking about in Central Washington. But listed in most all school human resource websites for openings are a need for Special Education teachers...I have been looking for employment and it is just what I have found.
Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – 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 today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†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 – 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, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – 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,

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.
