[nobe-l] introduction and seeking an advise

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Tatyana,
You could teach Russian in an adult continuing education program or at a 
community college.
I'd encourage you to teach here; but first you may want to take a few 
education classes such as those in teaching literacy to the age group you 
want to work with and the intro to education class.
The education system is a bit different here; different values and methods.
For instance in your country they may require school uniforms; many schools 
do not here.
States set standards for their state; mine has what they call standards of 
learning.
There are no national curriculum or national tests; many countries have 
national standards; we do not.
We stress individual achievement in American schools; there are different 
courses, especially at the middle and high school level, for
those who want to study advanced matterial and for those students who need 
extra help, special education or remedial work.
We have classes for GT, Advanced placement classes to get college credit, LD 
students, and ELL.
GT is gifted and talented, meaning those students who are above average 
intelligence; advanced placement are courses at the college level so 
students can get college credit in high school.
Of course we also have teachers of the visually impaired/blind and other 
special ed teachers who work with LD, learning disabled, students.

Good luck in your decission

I'm not sure that Russian  is studdied in schools. My be some adults want to
learn Russian, I think it's not so great population interested in Russian.
And I don't know how to find out about it. I see adds about Spanish mostly.
