I've just received my preliminary credential in Social Sciences (supplementals in Introductory Business and in Computer Systems & Applications) here in California. I've been told that a California credential is generally pretty portable to other states, and that some sort of temporary credential will usually be issued - with some time limit on fulfilling additional local requirements. What's the case with Wyoming? I'm thinking about looking for an opening there for the fall.
The second installment of our JIMMY JET series has just gone to press. It deals with the national issue of what our children -- and your students -- are encouraged to believe in as our youngest citizens.
I hope you will give it a look. As always a sample lesson plan will be posted to reinforce core issues and extended learning.
"JIMMY JET and the PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE" -- will be available for your in- school Artist Visit as well as our "ORIGINS" debut issue!
In memory of the Columbia Space Shuttle Crew, I have set aside the regular release schedule of titles and will be doing a special "#0" issue of JIMMY JET illustrating the famous "pilot's prayer" by RCAF Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee. Entitled "HIGH FLIGHT", some of you may remember in the early days of Television, local stations would play a clip of "HIGH FLIGHT" as part of their sign-off ritual.
This year marks the Centennial of manned flight. It has been 100 years since those bicycle brothers took flight. I hope this series of inspirational books proves a fitting metaphor for your students imaginations -- and character.
The Well Aware Diversity Taskforce in Laramie is working with the Wyoming Department of Education and UW Conferences & Events to organize a Multicultural Symposium for Wyoming's K-12 teachers to be on June 23-25 at the Casper Events Center. Workshops will include discussions on Student Oriented Teaching Methods, Culturally Sensitive and Responsive Teaching, Alternatives for At-Risk Youth, and No Child Left Behind. The conference will be PTSB and Enrichment accredited. Our goal is to offer teacher practical applications that have been proven effective in culturally diverse classrooms. Please write for more information. Registration begins at the end of March.
Hello. I live in a foreign country. I got my Bachelors degree in Science (in Biology) in USA. I would like to know if there is an extra need for high school teachers in USA? I would like to be a teacher, but I do not have a green card. I was teaching at the college in Florida for some time based on a temporary working visa.
I would like to know if high school principals do working visas for people like me? Feel free to e-mail me if you have some interesting answers for me.
Celebrate Youth Art Month with a free-loan program from the National Gallery of Art. Our program has over 120 titles that range in format from color slide programs and teaching packets, to videocassettes, videodiscs, as well as cd-roms and dvd's. The varied program topics provide opportunities for use in non-art curricula such as social studies, literature, and foreign languages. Information about the free-loan program can be found at: [link removed].

What better reason not to cut education than the fact our representatives on both the state and federal level can't balance the budget? The only one I can think of is that a failing economy works in favor of terrorism. Check out taxpayer advocate sites, [link removed]
