Can anyone provide more detail into the GSAP retroactive app process?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Are text message breakups acceptable? Better than complete ghosting right

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA

Can anyone tell me average salary for a seasoned medical device rep? 8 + years of experience.

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.

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

1. Hands, feet, mouth, arms, legs still (a veritable challenge)
2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.

Breathing bubbles calm the class even for just a minute.

Instead of “I can”, try “I GET to”

If your students are working on computers, have them move the chairs and face the screens toward you can see what they are doing.

I have a burning question. I have been teaching for over 18 years, which nags me.

Suppose you agree that the provided professional development offered through our districts is ineffective. Why not invest in your professional development by seeking a coach or mentor or even pay for professional resources that would help? To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?

Got dread? Picture yourself having a great day. Managing all the yuk makes for a successful day.

WILL Smith. Sigh. I wonder how many people WILL be thinking twice now because of this “slap heard around the world” . WILL this cause us to pause? What WILL we learn from this?

Google forms make for great exit tickets. Of course this only works if your students all have a device. Hard copy exit tickets can become unmanageable, depending on class sizes and frequency.

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