Have you shared any online reading resources for your (2021-22) students to use over the summer? If so, what? I have found that First Book offers a good program.

I basically set up a self-managed summer reading challenge for my returning students and set rewards for whatever level they accomplish.

I’ve shared ReadWorks with parents of students who need support and set up summer articles.

Going to be finishing my Data Science masters soon. Thinking a lot about my future, if it is worth staying in agency or if I should just move to tech companies. For people who work in agencies, do you really use data science? By data science, I mean things that are not reporting and actually doing predictive modeling/ML. Do agencies even hire data scientists? Or it just falls under the general analytics roles.

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.

Several years ago, I stopped teaching Shakespeare plays line for line. Instead, I have the kids do a variety of activities to learn the plot, the characters, the history, the language, the literary devices. We watch the plays. We read and analyze the important quotes, soliloquies, monologues, and dialogues. How many teachers out there are teaching Shakespeare differently than the old standard: read an act, take a quiz? And how is that working? Are students more engaged? Best strategies?
