[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Her goals include teaching honors/AP[/b] and also working in international schools for a while, if possible. She's only 16, so plenty can change the next few years but because of her other career goal (ballerina, next to impossible to achieve, short lived and terribly underpaid) she is already considering college and the rest of her life. Lots to ponder. Ballet dancers are some of the most determined, smartest, organized and hard working kids I know so I have no doubt she will reach whatever goals she sets.[/quote]

[b]This is a tough gig to get.[/b]  The long-timers snatch up the AP/honors courses when they have the opportunity, unless admin equally distributes them.  I've only heard of one school where they give straight honors courses to the newbies.

She can probably expect to teach remedial classes for a good while before she is given higher level stuff.  If she has a heart for international stuff, an ESOL endorsement would be useful, and would also make her more marketable back in the US...but again that will get her more remedial classes, not AP.[/quote]

Agreed. My friend is an [i]amazing[/i] high school English teacher who only does honors and AP-- after 20 years of regular and remedial classes.[/quote]
