4. i'd love to teacher in loveland
task: write at least two letters to a far, far away non-Illinois cities or towns
#1 -- to the "personnel department" requesting teaching application materials.
Exact street addresses for the offices of every school district in the USA are at the Placement Bureau.
If you take a city less than 30,000 ( ? ), this simple address might be sufficient:
Personnel Director
City School District Offices
Kneejerk, MT -- 85654
HAND IN WHAT THEY SEND TO YOU. IF THEY DON'T SEND ANYTHING --- YOU LOSE POINTS. SO --- WRITE TO A BUNCH OF PLACES TO INSURE THAT YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT PROCESS. #2 -- to the chamber of commerce requesting "tourist and real estate information."
Address: just a post card to Chamber of Commerce -- c / o Kneejerk, MT 85654 -- might work.
rationale:
there is life outside of Illinois.
With a 70 students writing to a NON-MID-WEST cities, we'll have a great collection of placement materials and get a "feel for" basic USA geography, and the types of questions school districts ask of teachers.
you will never get any employment position because of your GPA.
That is a fact of life.
How well do you "interview ?"
