Plan transitions. A middle schooler has an attention span of about 12 minutes (1 minute per year of age) As an observer watching, I’d be watching how you interact with students and how you transition them from one type of activity to another. Humor is great to diffuse interruptions but don’t be sarcastic. Depending on subject matter, you’ll want to engage them in conversations/ with table group or elbow partners, then share discussion high points either in large group or with another group.

I LOVE middle schoolers most of all❤️

All kids depend on strong relationships, but this is double for middle school kids. Remember that they are in the middle of the biggest brain growth in this life and that all behavior is communication. When kids misbehave try to not take it personally and think about what are they trying to yell you.

Firing talk ended but team quit due to turmoil. Company wants to keep me but I am wrapping up, then leaving. Aside from 1-1s w/ boss, HR, trying to move to another department, what else could I have done?

How do you come up with your labs to make sure they are aligned with the unit.? I feel like I am doing well on EOC scores but I feel like my class is a drag because we just drill concepts and the labs are not making the connections I’d like between the lesson and the activity. It becomes them just following my instruction and not much scientific processing or troubleshooting to come up with the conclusion. I want to make scientist not just students that pass the EOC.

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.

The long weekend (what non-teacher’s call “summer vacation”) has only focused my furious resolve to constantly combat the neolithic conservative crosshairs on education.

Public education is not politics; we can tell the whole truth about historyPublic education is not an armed force; we are trying to eliminate the need for arms and the people who support them.

What other profession besides education are you suppose to develop relationships with 150 students a day? These are to be meaningful student relationships where you know their likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses so you can help them learn your content as well as develop as an individual. Also, during each day you interact with colleagues and parents. Just curious if there is a similar career with that level of interaction with others.
