Hi All! I hope you guys are staying safe and healthy.
I am hosting a free workshop for teachers that I thought might benefit you. The workshop is called From Unsettled to Prepared Classroom. I am giving you the tools you need to feel organized and ready for this upcoming school year. There is so much that is still uncertain and it can be super daunting to start to plan for a year like this one.

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

What are your experiences with blended learning in the classroom?

What is the best digital tool you have used in the classroom and what grade level is it best suited for?

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.

I was recently informed by a teacher's aid that another teacher in my school thinks that I 'Do Nothing' as an art teacher, and went so far as to spy on me outside my classroom to reinforce her opinion. Obviously she is wrong and completely ignorant of what happens in my art class every day. I am not the confrontational type, but I feel like I need to address this. Any advice?

I need some advice! I am a new teacher in a Behavior unit. I have a token Economy in my classroom and a leveled behavior system. Some of my kiddos are not responding to it. They are k-2 students.

I'm currently a middle school social studies teacher (this is my 10th year of teaching) and formerly worked as a home health care manager at our local area agency on aging (4.5 years) and as a behavioral modification counselor for adjudicated teens in a residential behavioral modification program (5 years). I had a tutoring business for 1.5 years as well. I'm looking to transition away from the classroom if anyone has any jobs or job leads I might be qualified for, please let me know. Thank you!

I need to talk with a teacher about inappropriate behavior some parents are complaining that she has in the classroom. How do I approach this without accusing her or making her feel ambushed?

I decided to leave my latest teaching position after being in the classroom for 7 years. The stress was absolutely crazy and took a toll on me. This was my second career (I was a journalist before that). What can I do with a Bachelor’s in Journalism and a Master’s in Childhood Education? I would to use them both if possible!

Folks , I’m considering kicking off the job application process again. I feel like I can’t reach my potential as a PM at a consulting firm. For one, we have no access to user data, usually our users are clients, and we rarely get to interface with them. As a result, I don’t have any experience in A/B testing, or proper user experience research. Is this an extremely important skill? Should I look to jump sooner than later ? There are other skills I get to aggressively build here, however

Hi! I’m looking to make a career pivot and found the perfect internal position to transfer to, but my company’s HR team won’t release me until I’ve been in my current position for 1 yr. I’ve been on the same team for 5 years, but got promoted 9 months ago. Any advice for speaking with HR to try to convince them to release me from my current team?

How to move from ad agency copywriter, to script based production house creative. Anybody had success doing this?

As a new product manager what books should I be reading? I’ve already read Inspired but looking or more. For context, I’ve joined a series A start up and as expected there’s a lot to do and it’s very fluid. I want to be able to help the head of product as much as possible as well as provide some structure to how we work.

Trying to buy a home and my agent keeps showing me homes where I could change this or that to “make it my own,” how can I get her to see that I’m not interested in a remodeling project now (or ever)?

Has anyone taken the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification? How did you prepare for it?

I burst into tears Friday as I said goodbye to the best TA ever! She is now a kindergarten teacher in another district. It took me an hour to get over it and I know the other teachers and admin thought I was crazy. Change happens. But when there are no subs available and no one has an answer for Monday….what will I do? 18 students are 10 to many for me to teach by myself. And when I ask, they say there is someone, just not sure when the sub can start. Thanks for letting me vent!

Hello everyone long time ECE teacher. 20 something years.

Hey EC teachers! Anyone willing to get on a market research call with me? I promise, no pitch!! Just want to ask a few questions :)

Hey everyone! I just came out with a free guide to online learning for early childhood teachers. Let me know if you’d be interested. Happy to send it your way! Sending you positive and healthy vibes!

I have a para/assistant teacher that just wants to argue over everything. “You’re the teacher, why do I have to assess the children during break out rooms?” We have 8 kids, and I am only asking her to do 3! The other para is doing 3 and I and doing 2 with IEPs!!! How am I supposed to handle this in a professional manner virtually? Plus she is frustrated b/c o can’t explain everything. I keep telling her it’s all new to me too. Grace is not a word in her vocab. And I am feeling graceless.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Preschool teachers!! Next week is our last week for GSRP what do you guys do for your end-of-the-year celebration? 

My name is Dawn and I teach pre-kindergarten in a public elementary school in New Jersey. I’ve been teaching for 16 years and have my masters in Inclusive Early Childhood Education. Nice to meet everyone.

I teach PreK in a public school. Our state allows PreK programs to nap without masks if proper ventilation is provided. I have 16 children, a minimum of 3 feet apart, no masks, with two LOUD air filters, two tiny windows open, the outside and hall door open, at average in 72-76 degrees.
