Want to teach In California?
You would have no problem, if you are planning on moving from UK to California here are a couple of sites you might want to take a look at. http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/default-prospective.html Click on the "Out of State Applicants" link. http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/CREDS/secondary-teaching.html You sound like you would be, what California calls a single subject teacher (ie Maths, English, etc). Teaching at a middle school (11-13) or High School (14-18). If you want to teach next to the beach, sun, etc might I suggest Santa Barbara, Ocean Side, etc. Make sure you collect letters of reference before coming, transcripts, and you have background check preformed before you set foot in a California classroom. It's ironic, you are trying to get into my State, I am trying to get into your country to do the same thing.
Is a c- a passing grade in middle school?
It's according to your school district. For example, I'm in Mississippi, and our grading system is as follows: A: 95-100 B: 85-94 C: 75-84 D: 70-74 F: 0-69 But in Texas, and their grading system is something like: A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: 0-59 (or something like that). Technically, anything 'D' and above is passing...
Do schools teach state history? (Other than Texas)
I learned about Washington State history in the fourth grade, when I first moved to the United States.Back then, our lessons largely revolved around the (entirely fictional) adventures of a small wooden horse called Nuks-cha-ska-ha and how it had moved between different Washington families, all while encountering various lessons about the state’s key industries (apples from Wenatchee, wheat from Spokane) and key events in and figures from the state’s history (Chief Seattle, the Oregon Country, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse and Mount St. Helens come to mind).Information gathered from these lessons would be compiled in a binder — which I still keep to this day — which was periodically checked by my history teacher. As 2001 came by, we also spent much of the school year talking about aviation (of course, Boeing is from Washington State), mixing the state’s history with our science lessons on aerodynamics, as much as we did the little wooden horse and its many adventures.When I moved to Pittsburgh later in the school year, those lessons in Washington State history quickly gave way to Pennsylvania state history, big textbook and all. Sure, I only took about two months of it, but who could forget covering the state’s geography and economy (I actually got a map drawing wrong because my compass wasn’t pointing north properly, even though I copied it from the textbook), William Penn and Penn’s Woods, and Pennsylvania’s contributions to the history of the United States from the Delaware to Valley Forge to Gettysburg?In the fifth grade, although the emphasis had shifted to United States history, my social studies teacher (Mrs. Morgan, a wonderful teacher who I miss dearly) emphasized key events that took place in western Pennsylvania. For example, the Whiskey Rebellion was given more airtime in the classroom because western Pennsylvania was the flashpoint.At least in those two states, I learned a good chunk of state history. I imagine it’s the same in other states, but of course, your mileage will vary.
I was suspended last year in middle school. Will this go on my high school record?
This happened to me, as I, a stupid little 6th grader, decided to steal a pencil from the book fair, because I forgot money and it was the last day to make purchases.Although it doesn’t seem to remain on your “permanent record” or transcripts sent to college applications, it does remain on your “temporary record” (in CA at least).This means thatAt the beginning of every school year, on all your teachers rosters, there is a little marking informing them of all the kids who’ve been suspended before (including middle school and sometimes elementary school)The teachers don’t know anything else about your incident; it could have happened 5 years ago, or the year before (BUT THEY’LL PUT IT AGAINST YOU)If you transferred from another district, it takes a while to show upIf you get another suspension or expulsion, the admin will probably take this previous incident into account.This is a freaking stupid rule because I am immediately assumed to be a bad kid upon enrolling into the class, even though I’m literally a 4.0 student. And the incident, in my case, happened FIVE YEARS AGO! I was literally a 10 year old little brat!
