I’m starting student teaching the 3rd week of January. I want to send out as many applications as I can and hopefully get a full-time job by the fall for the next school year.

I’m geographically mobile, so that’s not really a problem. How far into student teaching is it appropriate to begin sending out applications? How long do I have to wait to get a letter of recommendation from my co-op teacher? Until the end?

I am finishing up my education and will be teaching next fall. I am wondering what challenges there are to teaching science in elementary school. This subject scares me more than any other. Please help!

My daughter has Cerebral Palsey and we have been teaching her ASL. It has really helped her communicate and it helps with language aqusition for all children. We use a program called Signing Time that makes learning ASL fun. I have found that most Deaf people are glad that hearing people are making an effort to learn ASL. I would like to hear comments from others.

I sent in my application for a 30 substitute teaching permit, and waiting the 50 days for the permit to be cleared. Now I’m wondering where on earth to I start looking and HOW do I approach finding a substitute teaching job? Any subs out there able to give me an idea of the path ahead? Thank you…

Recently, my 58 year old mum asked me to teach her how to use the internet/computer. And honestly, I don’t know where to begin. How would one go about teaching a 58 year-young woman how to use the net?

This is really for instructors but if you want you can state your own experience if you are not teaching riding.
How do you go about teaching the total novice rider to ride?
I will call this rider Lucy, she is 8 years old, an athletic type, very keen to learn and has a natural aptitude for the horses and is confident. She has ‘ridden’ on a friends pony a couple of times but that is all.
How do you go about teaching her riding (nothing to do with stable management or saddling etc.)

I have a 2 month old puppy. When I try teaching her simple tricks like sit, she just bites my hand. Having a treat in my hand won’t help either as the smell just drives her crazy and makes her hyper. Is she too young for tricks? At how many months should I start?

I understand that according to their teachings there is no change for them to be one of the 144 000 who actually make it to heaven but are they making it to the “promise” earthly paradise either?

Is this Biblical teaching?

rayblue4 asked:


want to get my mom a teaching tool for understanding how to use the computer and internet for christmas. I’ve tried myself to teach her, but I wasn’t good at doing so. What is the best program out there? She knows absolutlely nothing about computers, never touched one and he has an attitude that she never will need to use one.

basically, i need a program that anyone could understand, not something with a lot of computer jargon in it.

Something that could even teach a caveman is ideal.
