I am a first year English teacher in the Fond du Lac area. I am looking for any in-service opportunties such as lectures, seminars, workshops, etc. that may be coming up in the next few months or so. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

I wholly understand her plight.
I'm a second career teacher with post baccalaureate certification through Cardinal Stritch University's Master of Arts in Teaching Program. I applied myself to my studies like I have never applied myself to anything before and finished at the top of my graduate cohort. Nonetheless, since completing my studies in June, 2006, I've applied for well over 500 teaching jobs across the state -- and still find myself living a hand-to-mouth existence as an on-call substitute teacher.
The bitter truth is that most teaching vacancies here in Badgerland routinely draw 400 to 500 applications -- and occasionally more -- many from veteran teachers furloughed by other districts.
Unlike Julie Ann, however, I'm a pragmatist. I have come to grips with the unpleasant fact that the teaching career for which I have sacrificed so much probably isn't attainable in Wisconsin.
Frustratingly, my wife shares Julie Ann's optomism, believing that "something's going to pop for us" if we just sit tight and wait.
Last fall I was offered a very lucrative teaching contract in Glendale, Arizona, but my wife declined to follow me out there and ultimately convinced me to decline the offer.
I've got to work, and I've given too much of myself to education to turn my back on a teaching career. I'd knowing which other state offer teachers better prospects for employment.

I am looking for a study group for this test. I live in the Appleton Fox Cities area. I am close but just missing it by a few. Let me know. Carmen
Hello! I am considering getting a teaching license through Norda, an alternative route teaching program to teach Spanish in rural Northwestern Wisconsin. Does anyone have experience with this program? Any thoughts on the potential job market for this type of job in the next few years?
Thanks Kelly

I recently graduated and have begun searching for a teaching job for the 2009-2010 school year. I am new to this, so I have a few questions. First, what are the best websites to utilize when searching? I have used Wecan, school spring, and other various job search engines. However, not much is listed. I know it is difficult to find a teaching job in Wisconsin, but am I also looking to early? When do schools usually post jobs? Also, will it be easier to find a job in a private school vs. a public school? I am not picky about where in Southeast Wisconsin I will work or what kind of school I work in. Would I be better off to sub to get my foot in the door? At this point, I am beginning to feel hopeless. Any advice or personal experiences anyone could share with me would be helpful!
Also, moving out of state is not an option since my fiance cannot leave his job.

Dear Fellow Educators,
What affects the marketability of a professional educator? If you had to interview for a job as an educator, today, would you be hired, or would there be factors that affect your marketability? Take this survey...find out! Results will be posted May 11, 2009. NO NAMES PLEASE!
Thank you, Ea

My parents are coming to visit in mid-September and other than show them the sites of Chicago, I wanted to take them somewhere outdoorsy in Wisconsin or Illinois. My dad likes fishing and serene nature "stuff." My mom likes quaint little town shops. So my thought is someplace we can take nice walks, and visit little shops. They are definitely not adventure sports kind of people. So, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on places that are really pretty that I could take them? I've only lived here a couple years, so I don't really know all the places yet. Anyways, I was thinking no more than a 2-3 hour drive, and maybe a lodge/hotel stay? BTW, I live in the NW Suburbs of Chicago (Arlington Hts. area).
Thanks in advance,
Mandy
