An (aspiring) Educator is hosting this week’s Carnival of Education #178. I’ve tweaked my How to Take Control of Your Teaching list and although it’s still in an evolving state, you can read it here. Enjoy the Carnival and the post.

Welcome to the Carnival of Education #177 hosted this week by Where’s the Sun? The theme was empowerment so my entry covers the first step in teacher empowerment, “How to Find a Job in Education that you Love.” You may not need this entry now, but you never know when a How To list like this one comes in handy. We all know teachers there who are looking for work, but are they looking smartly? Check out my article for some tips on how to search, who to contact, and tips during the interviewing process.

Enjoy Le Carnival!

A little Tweenteacher trivia and The Carnival Comes to Town!

Hosted this week by Learn Me Good, the #175 Carnival of Education has just rolled in. As the daughter of a game show producer, I particularly enjoyed the theme, as I’m sure you will too. Check out my post.

Little known Tweenteacher fact (which could also be filed under “Too Much Information”): I owe my existence to game shows. Yes, it’s true. My father was the 1969 World Champion Jeopardy player. With his earnings, he also won a trip to Hawaii for him and his lovely wife, where, ta-ta-da! You fill in the rest…Enjoy the Carnival.
