I know many states offer education as a BA major, but in CA (at least in my area) that's not a choice. Many elementary school teachers I know have...
That sounds like a really bad experience - not all schools are like that. It takes a certain type of person to work in a school like that, with...
AHHHH I love those.
I would also rephrase question 3 so it's complete sentences rather than parallel fragments. I don't know how picky an application reader would be,...
I just bought some colored electrical tape at HD this year and I'm excited to put it up. If I remember right, they just had very basic colors...
I sort of feel like parents might be upset to find out a teacher was using a "pet" clicker as a classroom management tool.
I never realized how toxic my old school was until I changed to a non-toxic school. The politics, secret meetings, admin bullying, cliques, etc...
I've done things sort like that - not with attitude, but with things like being too loud, or being a class clown. "I know you're really good at...
How obnoxious! It just sounds like they don't have nearly as much urgency on their end as you are feeling on yours. Fingers crossed that it will...
My program was also 8 week classes, except I went one night a week and all day Saturdays. I think the challenging thing about classes like this is...
So I did a physical classroom program. Disclaimer: I'm a good multi-tasker and I don't have kids. It was time consuming, but really not as hard...
For this job, it was my only interview, but it was a school I hand-picked and didn't really NEED to leave my current school. Prior to that, I...
I took a job a few years ago with an 65 mile commute (about an hour all highway) one way. I did this for two years. I just took a job that's 40...
If the benchmarks are well designed, they will just be testing your state standards, and probably look a lot like your yearly state assessment.
I've found with younger kids too, they're less likely to make a guess unless they know the answer is 100% correct. They're not good with...
What kind of district is it? Suburban? Urban? Poor? Rich? All these things make a difference. I would venture to say most private school kids will...
I've never had a job call my references unless they were mostly sure they were going to hire me - usually after the interview. If you don't have a...
This, exactly. I don't know HOW many 11th and 12th grade kids I've had in a panic, because they failed 5 out of 6 classes their Freshman year and...
In my experience, MANY freshman don't really understand the whole concept of "if I fail, I am not going to graduate." Thus, you have a higher...
In CA, the state schools are their UC or CSU, not sure how it works elsewhere. I did my undergrad work at a UC and my grad work and credential at...
