Minneapolis "I Know I Can" College Awareness Day
Thursday, February 10, 2011

On February 10, 2011 approximately 2,700 third graders attending Minneapolis Public Schools will participate in the Minneapolis "I Know I Can" College Awareness Day.

It is the first step of The Minneapolis Promise, a cluster of coordinated efforts designed to eliminate barriers to post-secondary education for Minneapolis youth. The event will bring over 200 Minneapolis area volunteers into third-grade classrooms to share the significance of making college attendance an aspiration.

Volunteers will read I Know I Can, a children's book that introduces college awareness in a context that young children can understand. Volunteers will also have an opportunity to talk about their own college experiences, why college is important, and how to get ready for college.

To participate, you must attend a volunteer orientation session (1 hour) on one of the following dates:

* Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 9:00-10:00 AM (Walter Library 402)
* Wednesday, February 2, 2011 - 1:30-2:30 PM (Walter Library 402)

Please register to attend a volunteer orientation session.

On the day of the event, you'll be expected to arrive at your assigned school at the designated time (between 9:00-10:00 AM) and spend approximately one hour in the classroom. Volunteers from the University of Minnesota will participate in schools near campus: Dowling Urban, Marcy Open, Pratt Community, Sheridan, and Sullivan Community. (Volunteer shifts/schools will be assigned at the orientation sessions on a first-come, first-served basis.)

Questions? Please contact Meaghan at mcrr@umn.edu or 612-624-4561.

Project Partners: the Office of the Mayor (Minneapolis), RBC Wealth Management, Minneapolis Public Schools, the University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota College Access Network.

For seniors anxious about their post-graduate plans, teaching at a private or independent school provides an excellent opportunity to stay involved in their academic interests and to inspire young minds.

Southern Teachers Agency is the oldest teacher placement agency in America. STA is a free resource for teacher candidates. Although private & independent schools do hire teacher candidates who have not gone through an education program and are not certified, these schools value candidates who have spent time preparing for a career in education.

Now is the time to apply and become an active candidate with STA, as there are only two more weeks before the cut-off date for our Teachers Fair in Washington, DC. At the end of February, STA will be hosting a large job fair in conjunction with the National Association of Independent School's annual convention in DC. The deadline to apply to become an active candidate for this fair is January 28, 2011.

Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) are relationship specialists who treat persons involved in interpersonal relationships. They are trained to assess, diagnose and treat individuals, couples, families and groups to achieve more adequate, satisfying and productive marriage, family and social adjustment. The practice also includes premarital counseling, child counseling, divorce or separation counseling and other relationship counseling.

Marriage and family therapists work in clinics, agencies, hospitals, schools, and private practice. Hours must be flexible to accommodate families in crisis and working people who require evening or weekend appointments.

Educational requirements for licensure include a minimum of a master's degree from an accredited university with major emphasis in marriage and family therapy. Three years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, two of which must be post-master's level under the supervision of a qualified marriage and family therapist, are required for licensure. The examination is given by the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling.

Government economists expect jobs for marriage and family therapists to grow faster than the average for all careers through 2018. Americans are becoming more comfortable with the idea of getting help from mental health professionals. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average salary of marriage and family therapists in 2008 was $46,930.

Do you have a record of setting and meeting ambitious academic goals with your students?

teachNOLA Master Teacher Corps seeks the nation's most effective certified teachers to significantly impact education by teaching in teachNOLA's partner schools, all of which are open enrollment charter schools. The Master Teacher Corps program is a highly-selective initiative that recruits effective and devoted teachers with an intense desire to drive the city's rebirth by boosting academic achievement for all students. Our goal is for every classroom in this city to have an effective teacher that will stop at nothing to raise student achievement.

New Orleans' public schools serve nearly 40,000 students, 90% of whom are African American and more than 80% of whom qualify for free or reduced lunch. Nearly two-thirds of African-American fourth-graders who took the reading NAEP in Louisiana in 2007 scored "below basic" on the test, compared with only one-third of white students. In mathematics, only 50% of all New Orleans 4th grade students in public schools scored at the state's proficient level of basic or above in 2009. And only 52% of New Orleans' 10th and 11th graders received basic or above on the ELA portion of the high school GEE.

These statistics underscore the need for effective teachers in every classroom in New Orleans and the sense of urgency with which we must work to ensure that all students achieve in the classroom and are set on a path to success at college and beyond. teachNOLA partner schools want you to bring your experiences, knowledge, and records of achievement to the classroom of New Orleans. It is critical to recognize that it is absolutely possible to narrow and eventually close the achievement gap. Research has shown that teacher quality is the single most important school-based factor influencing student achievement. We are looking for teachers with a record of raising student achievement who can bring similar levels of result to New Orleans.

For our 2011 cohort, we are recruiting candidates who teach English, early childhood education, elementary, math, science, social studies, Spanish, French, art, music, and physical education.

As a teachNOLA Master Teacher, you will draw on your experience and record of student achievement to improve the lives of the city's neediest students. Master Teachers are part of a powerful network of committed education leaders working in one of the most exciting environments for urban education reform.

This is a critical time for New Orleans and a potential watershed moment for public education in the United States. We have a historic opportunity to fully transform one of the nation's lowest performing school systems, but that complete transformation will not be possible without effective, goal-oriented and devoted educators - like each of you. As Jay Altman, CEO of FirstLine Schools, stated in a recent Newsweek article, "It's very exciting to be part of this movement. New Orleans could be the first city in the country where every kid goes to a good school."

The task of rebuilding our city - and our schools - is monumental, and it will not be easy. We are calling on you to take up this challenge to improve academic outcomes for all of our children.

Benefits:
Quick, streamlined, and personalized application and selection process
Full teacher's salary and benefits, determined by schools
Personalized support to secure a teaching position for fall 2011
A network of talented, committed teachers working to make a difference where they are needed most
The opportunity to become part of a movement to build a new, and better, New Orleans through education
The opportunity to participate in a summer training institute, length TBD
Continued program support throughout the school year
