It ended up being amazing (for more about this see Building a Sustainable City and Class Example of a Sustainable City ). Along with teaching these gifted elementary students (who I teach for multiple years), I teach graduate courses for Walden University.

Fewer words have been spent on defining what, precisely, is meant when people say the education system is facing a drought of teachers from coast to coast. That’s what researchers at Kansas State University set out to quantify when they began crunching the numbers on teacher vacancies for all 50 states.
