The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools released “The Time is Now,” the first of three 30-second public service announcements, earlier this summer. The PSAs are part of a campaign to generate awareness about the crisis in the city’s lowest-performing public schools.

The PSA is the beginning of a six-month marketing campaign to get civic leaders involved with the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools. The campaign was created by FOX Sports West, which became a strategic partner of the Partnership after adopting Santee High School.

Anyone who loves working with children and loves to share their knowledge should consider Oregon teaching jobs in elementary schools.

Elementary school teachers are responsible for teaching pupils in public or private schools at the elementary level basic academic, social, and other formative skills. In the near future, trained workers will have the best chance finding a job in order to fill replacement openings, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

During 2008, employment was estimated to be much larger than the regional average. Positions for elementary school teachers should grow at a slightly lower rate than the regional average, but there will be more job openings than the regional average.

There are several places to search for Fort Lauderdale teaching jobs.

When it comes to primary and secondary education, Broward County Public Schools is the largest school district in the Ft. Lauderdale area, operating 23 public schools throughout the city. The 2007 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test for public schools in Ft. Lauderdale awarded 10 of 16 elementary schools “A” or “B” grades, while one of four middle schools received that grade.

Three schools, including Sunland Park Elementary School, Arthur Ashe Middle School and Boyd Anderson High School, received failing grades on that assessment. However, none of those schools received a failing grade twice in a four-year period, making them eligible for the Opportunity Scholarship Program under Florida’s education plan.
