Default It's done!

Both my parents are highschool teachers, Dad was teaching to the strong
students, and Mom to those who had learning difficulties (with a few lazies
mixed in)...

They both had a long career and are now retired... they think I'm crazy..

You'd be suprised how often those jobs are available. I have a friend who
taught at juvenile hall before he became a full time minister. My
knitting teacher teaches high school classes to inmates at a private CA
prison. There's a high turnover and burnout for those jobs.

My ideal spot would be to teach in "Juvy" with the kids in jail or with
the drop outs coming back..

Not the most paying jobs.. but I did it once (for a 6 weeks sub) and
loved it!!

It puts us all on the same page as far as the basics. I started
teaching in 1967 at a Los Angeles high school and there were teachers
there who would not have passed today's CBEST in CA. There writing and
grammar skills were weak yet they were teaching English. They had gone
to tiny colleges in other states and just did not have the same
preparation as others. So in the long run, Willow will do fine and you
may be suprised how easy it is to work into a job. The young man in the
room next to me is 24 and he just got a one year internship paid for by
the local state college and it will then turn into a job paid for by the
school district at the end of a year. He is a math teacher and there is
a shortage. There is a shortage of qualified teachers in many districts
throughout the state. Look into adult school too as another
possibility. I taught there when I moved from LA to San Diego and I
appreciated the maturity of the students.

One of the teachers on our staff completed his last course just a few
days after the requirement for a new readomg test came into force--so
he had to take that test, even though when he started the process, it
wasn't a requirement. He was pretty ticked off about it. And I look
at what teachers have to go through to get their credentials today, and
I am glad I already have mine. Although I do have to jump through a
few hoops to maintain my Reading and Lang Arts Specialist credential.
You've got to wonder if this really makes us better teachers.

I'm a fully qualified, fully trained teacher, in Canada..

Apparently it's not good enough in California...

Lets just say that I'm still very bitter about all the hoops I have to
jump through to do what I've already gone through h... to do..

not to mention that once I FINALY start teaching.. I have to go
through subbing forever.. and then taking whatever nobody wants...
then little by little getting a decent position... Done that once...
have to do it all over again..

Will~ second guessing the decision to move again... and again.. and
again..

Congratulations! This is the way to give yourself a normal work
routine, benefits etc. I took the CBEST several years ago and when
this little tutoring job came up at the high school, I was certified.

The math is what most people stumble on, so you have most likely DONE IT!!
YAY! =c)

Do you know what schools and/or districts you will be applying at yet? It's
the perfect time of year.

I don't think it is graded really harshly. I know quite a number of people
who have taken the test, and math has been the complaint. I don't think I
know anyone who did not pass writing--and, believe me, I know a couple of
people who do not have very strong writing skills. I think they are mostly
looking at your ability to organize and express your ideas. You certainly
do that quite well here. Anyway, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
