Teaching - August 2007

First two weeks are chaotic -- students dropping course - others adding course (English/Ethnic literature). I always have trouble getting through this time. All suggestions are appreciated.

I know that it is up to the teacher to ensure the safety of fellow colleques and other students by alerting proper authority of suspicious activity but am I missing anything other than that?

I am student teaching this year and am trying hard to look professional. I have never been good at fashion, but I want to look like I belong in a high school setting as a teacher.
So today I would like to know about shoes.

Should I be wearing heals or can I get away with flats? I am 5'3".
What colors or styles work well?
I have a pair of black, high-healed boots from payless.


Thanks for any shoe advice (or even pictures) you can give. I am trying to build up a decent wardrobe before school starts so I can walk in feeling professional.
:)

It's just too heavy for conventional sticky goo or staples, tacks won't hold, and anything larger is something our principal would really rather avoid.

I have some very thin rope that is perfect in appearance, but if I have to resort to fishing line, I'm happy to do so.

Does anyone have any solutions that have worked for them?

For those of you who substitute taught, how many days out of the week did you get called? How many schools were you signed up with?

I am currently in college to get my degree for secondary education. I am concerned because awhile ago I got a tattoo on my inner wrist. I was not thinking ahead apparently. Is this going to affect me negatively when I try to get hired at a school?

Sidenote: The tattoo is small enough to be covered with a bandaid.

I received a letter in the mail today from the 2nd grade teacher that my daughter will have this school year. In the letter she states that she will be calling us within the next week to schedule a time that she can come to our home & meet with us & our daughter (who will be her student). She says that she "likes to see what kind of environment that her students are coming from". Also she says, speaking to the student now, "please think of some things that you can tell me or show me, such as your room or a special toy". There are 12 teachers in this elementary school & this one teacher is the only one that does these summer home visits prior to the school year. I feel that this is very inappropriate and that she is just being nosy. The school is having an open house 4 days before school starts anyway & that is when we will meet her. I feel this is an invasion of privacy, etc. Should I contact the principal about this? I hate to be a trouble maker. Opinions/ thoughts? Thanks!

I'm applying to a teaching assistant in at a local school district. The application requests that I submit either my "Credentials" or three letters of recommendation. What exactly are these? I do have my Illinois Initial Teaching Certificate (which I also have to submit) and my transcripts showing that I have taken classes for my degree. Otherwise, I really don't know what else to possibly submit.

Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thanks!

Most of the situations in our present day life are repeated from the past as also its reflections. Do you propose any commission or omission on this basis?

My husband and I will both be entering the education field shortly. We currently live in Florida, but with rising home and insurance cost we are afraid we won't be able to stay. Not to mention homeowners insurance. Teachers here make about 6000.00 below the national average, and health insurance is expensive.

Can anyone tell us about some great school districts. We are open to any place in the U.S. Oh, and somewhere with some diversity (the more the better).

I would really love to be a first grade teacher when I graduate college. But I have some questions.

While reading newsletters from other first grade teachers out there....this is what they have said. "We are having a wonderful time writing in our science journals."
"We just finished up writing a story about dinasouars for our science unit."
How can first graders write in journals when they don't know how to write?? By the middle of the year do the students know how to read or write little sentences or what?? When they come to you from kindergarten......do they know how tor read or write a little?? Please answer my questions because I don't know what the students already know when they come to first grade....thanks!
