Always! Honestly I think it's a small perk in a job that largely does not have a lot of resources. I don't expect anything from anyone, but I am grateful to the parents who send a Starbucks gift card or something like that, it makes a big difference to my monthly budget to have a little help

Always a few! I think it’s so beyond generous! My school is a title 1 school and I know there isn’t always a lot of extra money this time of year. The gifts I get are small, but I can tell they come with lots of love and appreciation!

I teach middle school special ed....we get nothing lol.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization. As I browse available positions in my area, I’m realizing there is a LOT of crossover between my current org and others, for example shared board members, folks who are on our board and employed at one of the institutions I’m interested in, etc.. Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
