McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Hiiii! I’ve been at my job for a year and a couple of months now & I’ve gotten rather bored because the work is repetitive, not challenging, and hasn’t really allowed me to learn or grow as much as I would’ve liked to. Given how I’m still paying a ton of money for my postgrad in Business Comms (that I haven’t really gotten the chance to use), I’ve been thinking of entering the world of consulting. Any word of advice? PwC McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group KPMG

Do you have a first grade team? Maybe see how the others are doing it. Or do you have a mentor teacher you can go to for advice? Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
What does your school grading format look like? We do narratives in Kindergarten and then in 1-4th comments with S, Meets Criteria, and/or needs Improvement. Parent meetings 2x a year, but willing to meet more often if needed. Not sure if that is helpful.
I would say check with your team/admin on expectations for reports to go home. We are sent a copy of our report cards from the district office for 1st that we fill out each quarter and send home.
Ideally, you have some sort of team at your school and much of this is already been figured out. On the other hand, keep in mind that to a certain extent it is like being a chef: at the end of the year, you can give students grades based on what you think they learned. You are the professional, you make that decision. It can be based on a number of different things, not just entirely on tests or homework or such. Ultimately you are in charge, and most people will not ask you to explain how you arrived at a particular grade. If you think you might issue a failing grade, I would suggest that you get in touch with parents (and the administration) long before that and ask them for a conference or something.
This job has way too much stress in it for you to need to worry about things that have already been answered. Just find out who knows at your school, and ask them. All new teachers pester older teachers, sometimes for years, until they get their own groove going. Don’t worry, it’s the way it’s always been done, and you’ll be fine.
