Do you think your building or classroom is ready to go back to school?

How do you set up your classroom? What can you tell me about how often you use instruments? What do you do to make them accessible? Thanks so much.

I am looking for ideas on how to teach spelling in the classroom.

Many teachers in my county are resigning or retiring. We are being forced to go sit in empty classrooms when we’ve been working from home this entire year. Some have health concerns, others have children they aren’t comfortable bringing up to the building. Some have children that are also in online school, so easier to be home with them while working. I know not everyone agrees with some of us choosing to leave, but our county is one of the worst for Covid. We also just had to cancel 10,000 vaccinations because the truck didn’t show up.

Hello all, just joined. I use a lot of ed tech in my classroom and would love to connect and exchange ideas with others.

After losing almost half of my lunch period just heating up my food, I put a crockpot in my classroom. We have 1 microwave for 9 teachers. It is not one of those small kind but an actual crock pot. Anyone else do something similar just to give yourself some time to actually chew?

What is your approach to hybrid learning? How are you streamlining information for kiddos inside and outside of the classroom?

Anyone do anything fun in the classroom for Veterans day? At my old school parents or grandparents would come in and share but here we just had a classroom discussion about it. Would love to come up with some good ideas besides bringing people in to pitch for next year. And happy Veterans day to any veterans in the bowl!

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

What does effective classroom management look like to you?

I’m a 3rd grade SDC teacher on an emergency credential — had never stepped foot in a classroom before last Tuesday. Can anyone offer advice/resources for lesson plan development? Help!

What regulations do you encounter that affect how you manage your classroom?

So my ISD split me between a HS and a MS that recently reopened. I'm the only MS band director. The MS decided, without consulting me, to use the band hall as a classroom and after school enrichment "daycare". AKA added desks and tables. How do I approach this? I feel it is not OK in the slightest. I feel the band hall should reflect the goals, discipline, and culture of the program. Not as an empty classroom.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

I have used Dojo and Bloomz in the past. Want to use a classroom behavior management system that doesn’t require me to be logged into an app/site. My upcoming 4th graders are a tough group

New to FishBowl but hoping to get some advice/make some connections on here. I have an MHA and 6 YOE post grad-school in hospital operations and leadership. I'm currently a Service Line Director looking to make a transition away from hospital operations into consulting/strategy/etc.

I’ve applied to a number of positions at Optum/PwC/CVS etc but can’t seem to get an interview. I’m revamping my resume but are there other things I can be doing to at least get an initial interview? Any advice?

If someone’s goal is to be a CFO/COO or maybe even the CEO of a hedge fund or PE/VC fund. Would it make sense for that person to jump between fund admin, public accounting tax 1065s/k1s and auditing funds? See all sides or no. Reason I ask seems to be a lot of jumping between fund admin and public accounting

I’m new to freelance (since June). I’ve luckily been steadily working since then. But people reach out to me with urgent projects to put me on hold and then ghost. I can’t help but take it personally.

Do you think we'll ever go back to working in offices full time? Personally I really don't think we will, and at most it will be 2-3 days per week.

Partners: What are typical annual overhead costs for a senior associate in big city biglaw who sits in their own office? I’ve always been curious where my profitability line falls. Bonus points for same figure for shared offices/juniors/bullpens for others on the bowl.

Noob question: my apartment said it will cover heat and hot water, does this mean my bills are wifi, electricity, gas and water? Or is cold water included?

Big law fish please weigh in. I was reported to HR for "misgendering" a colleague that prefers she/her but used to identify as he/him. But all I said was "Bruh..." after she made a comment that shut down a conversation. I tried explaining that "Bruh" isn't really gendered but she apparently heard "Bro". I use "Bruh" and "Bro" all the time with female colleagues and it has never been an issue. And this was at an after hours summer event and we weren't talking about work. Was I out of line?
