Also wondering what curriculum is being used, if any, in your classrooms

We had TERRIBLY outdated curriculum at my school when I arrived (like copyright 1998 😳). First year I used all self-made curriculum and felt like I needed to try and find something the following year so I did a lot of research. Found Pearson Auténtico and I really like it. Taught from it last year and really quickly realized the the Spanish 3 curriculum was WAY too advanced for my kids so we switched to Fluenz. However, I really like the levels 1 & 2. They build on one another well, and although I skip around a bit still (I wait until 2nd semester to introduce conjugation in Spanish 1) it was still great. The online resources are good too

We use Auténtico as well. It’s decent but I don’t rely on it. I’m trying to incorporate more CI this year.

Good Evening My Fellow Christian Educators! I realize it is going to be challenging for me this year...with so many of my students performing below grade level expectations in ELA and MATH and also ensuring that all students follow the COVID Guidelines in the classroom. I still feel hopeful that God will bless me with the knowledge on how to effectively impact each one of those kids. Let's remember to keep all educators lifted in prayer this year.
Have a wonderful school year!!
God Bless All❤️

Anyone have advice for talking to teachers in your school that are upset with you?
My 4th grade class didn’t show up today because the teachers are upset that student behaviors that are an issue in music are carrying over to their classroom. I understand their frustration, but nothing was communicated with me. I even thought things were going better this week.

Split classes take away joy! We have 6-7 classes at each grade level and they split 1-2 into the remaining 5 so we can have a 5 day schedule. Big classes plus the classroom culture homeroom teachers work so hard to achieve are ruined. Advice? (Plus we are told to "not be negative" by admin.)

Hi I am a new teacher intern hired yesterday. I will be teaching second grade. School reopens on Aug 17. I do not have my own materials. I do not know what materials are there in my classroom. What should I buy? I will be talking to the Principal on Monday to find out more. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Any tips and suggestions for me would be helpful.

Any ideas for discouraging students from using Google translate, or like services? I tell students they need to rely on their brains, after all it is the original computer.

Hi everyone. My high school is going to be adapting a hybrid model at the start of the school year. I plan to take a digital approach to everything. I have plenty of activities from the past that involve interaction and conversation in the target language, but I was wondering if anyone has some great digital or distance learning activities or ideas to share?

In the hallway having a conversation in Spanish with another Spanish teacher, a staff member shouts out to us, “speak English, this is America.” I stopped and asked her “really?” She said “I don’t understand it,” to which I said, “we weren’t talking to you, you don’t need to understand.” To make it worse, this is the second time she has said this to me. What could I say next time so she never tells me this again? I heard she has told other kids this too, we have a very high ESL population…
