The Rose report (2006) states that high quality phonics teaching should play a significant part in the taching of early reading.

CLW asked:


How do I claim money I have made teaching lessons on my taxes? I just do it part time through a church ministry and I am paid directly by the studens by cash or check. I have been keeping track of everything I’ve made/spent, but don’t know how to claim it since it isn’t a buisness.

stickyfingers asked:


I’m seriously considering a career change. I enjoy the training aspect of my current job and I’m fluent in Italian. Can anybody give me any advice on how to pursue a career in teaching Italian as a foreign language? What qualifications or accreditation are the standard requirement in the UK? What salary can I reasonably expect? What are the career prospects in general? What is the governing body I need to contact? Thanks!

Collin S asked:


For a research paper on the Gestapo my thesis statement is “The Gestapo was a cruel police force that was the cause behind the atrocities towards the Jews.” One part of our paper has to be the best objection, or the opposite view point of our thesis. I can’t think of an objection to my thesis.

lizzie 412 asked:


I’m really interested in teaching special education. Now, I do have some experience working with kids with disabilities. I volunteer with a therapeutic horseback riding program, and I have really enjoyed it. But I realize that teaching would be quite different. I would really appreciate some information about the pros and cons of the profession. For instance, I’ve heard that there is a great deal of paper work. Is this true, and does it detract a lot from the job?

Anon asked:


Could hypnopedia work like it does in the novel Brave New world?
Can it be used for teaching kids or adults to have good self esteem or morals?

hpagliughi asked:


I’m in school getting my credential and getting petrified about actually teaching and only hear bad things about subbing, but I want to sub before I start actually teaching. I’m worried I will cry in class or throw up. I know I won’t, I’m just kidding, but I am scared of being traumatized.
I live in a low income area….I’m scared of the reality check. I have been observing though and I love the kids. I think I will start with middle school.

saintcady asked:


I’m about to earn my BS in Math, I’m in California, and I want to be a high school math teacher. The next step is my credential program. The one at my school (CSUEB) is one year long, rather inflexible, and full time. I’m tempted to get it through and online program which may be a tiny bit shorter, but is much more flexible.
My concern is this; when I’m all done and interviewing for teaching positions, will having a degree from an online university as opposed to a “traditional” campus hurt me? Or will principals not care and I should go for the one that will work best for my schedule?

Precious asked:


I am a sophomore in High school and I wanna plan where I want to go. I wanna be a teacher in the field of world history or US history (maybe social science or political science. I’m not sure about that either.) I wanna go to a college that specialized in education and my major. Colleges like CalState Fullerton are somewhat in my area where I live And I heard they have a good teaching program. So.. Opinions? Suggestions?
