Happy CTE Month! THANK YOU for the magic you make happen everyday in your classrooms. How does your state/district/school recognize CTE during this time?

How do you show God’s love in the classroom?

Does anyone use Fundations in 1st grade? We are piloting it in our district as a tier 1 for all kids as our daily phonics program. Trying to figure out how to set up classroom w/ all individual tools?

I teach a 7th/8th grade self-contained classroom and I'm looking for recommendations on morning activities, transitions, and non-core subject matter.

I have a high level of ADD/ADHD students, so I was contemplating a Morning Meditation and/or Movement to help them focus more. I also would like to work on incorporating transition periods that will allow them to more easily convert to a six period schedule in high school.

I also enjoy teaching life skills, such as investing, and would love recs

I can manage my classroom better if I don’t respond to emails outside of office hours. This gives my mind a break and by consequence refreshes me for the next day. It also sets a boundary.

Do you consider your teaching a ministry? How do you do Gods work in the classroom?

If you wold like some assistance with classroom management or even managing your owe children, check this out this resource.

After teaching 14 years teaching 3rd grade, 2 years teaching 1st grade, and 1 year teaching 2nd grade, I’ll be starting a new venture as a 6th grade Math teaching. I need ideas for decorating my classroom and teaching the curriculum. Help!

I have a flipped classroom and my biggest challenge today is that my high school students don’t slow down long enough to read the directions/ instructions/ deliverables. Anyone see this happening?

I just got brand new iPads for my classroom and need to find some apps that are appropriate for my prek students. We just went back to remote learning today. Does anyone have app suggestions?

Anyone use edgenuity? I'm starting Monday with students, never been trained, no guidance. Don't know how to set expectations if I don't know. ice breaker ideas? I'm not in my classroom.. media center.

Do you have a classroom coach?

What novels do you use in your ELA classrooms? I am curious to see what everyone else is using !

What does effective classroom management look like to you?

Dropping this in a few bowls, sorry if you see it twice.
I'm transitioning from teaching 8th grade mathematics at a public school to teaching a 7/8 self-contained classroom at a charter school.
Any advice for teaching mixed grade levels or multi subject is appreciated: scheduling, classroom setup, subject order, behavior management, etc. I'm struggling to find my rhythm with only 6 weeks before kids return.
Thanks to everyone for your commitment and time, enjoy your summer!

I would love to start teaching and learning outside the classroom walls. I would like to start working with middle school U.S. SS classes in other parts of the US. I'm in NJ, let me know if interested

Hello everyone! I am so interested in developing centers for my 5th grade math classroom. I'd you are a math center guru, I would love any suggestions, recommendations, or examples of what works and what doesn't work! Thanks!

What type of EdTech tools are you using in your CTE classroom?

Drop your classroom management ideas here. For my school it sure is nice to have a principal who supports a no phone policy.

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.

Recruiting just let me know they will NOT be sending me to the the hiring committee but want to stay in touch about other potential roles. Is this what they tell everyone?

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

Our firm needs a ln experienced paralegal, is there anyway to find one besides the typical job boards?

What sort of equity stakes do management teams at PE-backed companies typically get?

Hey all,

What are some PE firms (likely mid-market) that specialise in doing Entertainment deals, especially in gaming hardware, software, solutions that underpin the value chains ?

How do you deal with your boyfriend still being friends with someone he slept with before? Kind of bothers me but not sure if it’s normal....

Someone I’ve started seeing uses they/them pronouns. I’m trying my best but still feel like I make mistakes. When I want to address them is it ok to say how are you or should I say how are they?

Being forced onto banking project with no finance background or cultural leanings—tips? 🥴

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Putting together a wedding weekend itinerary and have been dealing with a frustrating level of questions from some random in-laws who are known for stirring the pot. Would it be rude to say “please contact x with any questions. Kindly do not direct questions to the bride unless there is an emergency”? What is a better way to say this?

This summer I will be teaching the two courses required to gain the extension certificate to be a New York State certified Work-based Learning Coordinator. Is there a requirement for additional training to become a WBLC in your location? Is it part of an existing CTE teacher’s responsibility or something else? Do you need a WBLC for your program approval?

What is your typical class size for your shop class? Do you have a maximum?

Class size is a big deal, in NY a new piece of legislation was signed to bring down student count per class from 34 to 25 over the next few years. How big are your CTE classes? In NYC, they’re typically about 28 students.

Does anyone have experience with ACT WorkKey assessments? Do you offer them to your students, and if so, who pays? Are these assessments of any value??

It’s a new year, NEW DECADE, so what will you try different in your class?

It’s officially October, so let’s check-in and see how the start of the school year is going for everyone. What’s been some wins you’ve experienced thus far? Any concerns?

Does anybody use the free Quickbooks program for students and teachers?

I have a unique challenge right now in my class. I teach hand drafting in my class and the sanitizer and sprays they are using is making the tape not stick, has anyone to run into this and does anyone have any suggestions? We have found if we wipe the table down with multiple kinds of cleaner in soap and let it dry well that it will stick better but this is a huge time consumer as we transition between classes.

Anyone interested in teaching automotive technology in an Ohio CTE high school starting in the 2022-2023 school year. I’m retiring and trying to help find my replacement.

Has anyone in your district asked any CTE teachers for their input regarding “back to school”? Or are you not invited to the table?

Does your district have a mechanism for certification of an administrator for CTE specifically? Some US states do, others don’t.

If you could automate one thing about your work, what would it be?

When you come back to school, are you expecting any staffing changes? Is that a good or bad thing? Do you think it should be addressed as a message from school administrators?

Did you need to do anything special to get your teaching credential as a person of the trades? Do you have to do anything specific for CTE teachers in order to keep/maintain/upgrade your teaching license/certification?

What type of EdTech tools are you using in your CTE classroom?

Have you ever set up any mentoring opportunities for your students with industry partners? Have you considered solutions like iMentor?
