What is the weather like in WI? How many months of each
season do you have? Also, what is the teaching market
like? I would finish the year here in Texas, but start
applying for the 07-08 school year. I am certified K-12
Special Ed and grades 1-4 Elementary Ed, and also have my
Early Childhood-4th grade Master Math Teacher Certificate.
I have spent 7 of the past 9 nines teaching in low
income/poverty school districts.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help.

does anyone have any advice on networking my way into
middle school jobs in Milwaukee?I am cetified in IL and
graduated with honors from DePaul for my M.Ed. I'm not
moving without a job...
/blockquote>
I am considering relocating to one of these areas on the
strength of my husbands job. What is the job market like
for Math teachers with 9 years of experience and Middle
School Principals that are fully certified in both areas?
/blockquote>
I am interested in relocating to Northern Wisconsin. What
are average salaries like for teachers with 9 yrs
experience and masters degree. Do they accept all years of
experience from other states and what about principal
positions paying.

I have recently moved to Madison from North Carolina and
cannot find a teaching job! I have three years of experience
too. How do you get a job here? Please help!

Specifically, I created a survey regarding the role of

am in the process of distributing this survey to as many
mathematics teachers as possible. Your help would be
greatly appreciated. Below is a direct link to the survey:

PLEASE forward this e-mail on to any teachers you know who
are currently teaching mathematics-- elementary, middle,
or high school. With your help, I hope to receive results
from all over the country.
Any help you can provide in publicizing this survey is
greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hello everyone,
Over the last year or two I recall several people on T-Net
posting about their
experiences with the internet-based program, Headsprout
Early Reading.
In fact I think I was one of them -- we tried the free
scholarships at my
school two years ago, with outstanding results, and
followed that up by
purchasing accounts for a number of high-needs kids in
Grade 1 plus some
ELL kids in Grades 2 and 3 last year. Again, Headsprout
proved to be a
tremendous catalyst to the kids' reading -- not only their
skills, but
(most important in the long run), their enthusiasm about
reading and their
self-perception as good readers. Even the most struggling
kids made a
lot of progress and LOVED to read -- they took home books
every night and
there was lots of book-sharing and book-talk in the
classroom. One of
our teachers remarked that this was the first year that
every single
child was enthusiastic and really pumped up about
reading .
Of course she
is a very skilled teacher herself, but she attributed the
palpable shift
to the effect Headsprout had on the (previously) "low-
performing" kids.
It's an excellent supplementary program but I'm a theme-
oriented person
myself and like to integrate stuff. I can see lots of
potential to tie in
other reading and language activities (also science and
social studies)
with some of the Headsprout characters and backgrounds --
more thematic
expansion about ocean life, the coral reef, rain forests,
habitats &
communities,.... writing activities.... I am never short
of
ideas but I
would be a lot more productive in getting them on paper
and
organized if I
had others to share ideas with. So far I am the only one
in
my district
using Headsprout and I don't know of people elsewhere,
either, but I know
they are out there.
So, I have started a Yahoo group for teachers using
Headsprout, hoping we
can get enough folks to subscribe, trouble-shoot and swap
ideas to be a
support system for one another and also share materials
and
ideas we
develop. I made up little letter tiles for word-building
(a
la Isabel
Beck's new book -- a good one if you haven't seen it), a
kind of tracking
log to monitor kids' reading the "episode stories" (place
for
observations), and have some printing activities and games
I have
developed but not uploaded yet. If others were interested
it would
galvanize me into going farther with the themes idea and
actually organize
it -- need input from other people, though.
It would also be great to swap ideas on how to solve some
of the practical
issues, like timetabling and progress monitoring, that
come
up along the
way.
So, if you are using Headsprout, please go here:

This is always a busy time of year but the kids are
already
excited about
reading, so I am excited too.

As for the weather, we have some very cold temps and get
plenty of snow. The overall climate is probably not that
much different than NY.
If you have special education certification you will find
the job market pretty promising. There is a shortage of
Special Ed teachers in WI, however it is depende...See More
