Teachers

Teachers are hired to teach students at specific grade levels in grades kindergarten through eight, or for specific subject areas in grades seven through 12. They are expected to follow state and district guidelines for the grade levels or subject areas they teach.

What happens in the classroom between teacher and student is the essence of education. You can find stories about classroom activities through:

• School board agenda items related to curriculum.
• Informal discussions with the superintendent, the public information officer and other administrators.
• A request that you be added to the mailing list for building newsletters.
• Regular review of a school district or school’s Web site.

Stories about what’s happening in the classroom will give your readers information about:

• What teachers are teaching.
• How a subject is being taught.
• The results schools are getting for the tax dollars spent.
