He told you not to worry about IEP goals?

I do, but I never get any answers. I mean, bottom line, I’m going to teach the IEP goals, but I’m still being observed and rated by someone who knows nothing about sped! I got a couple emails from my principal last week asking me why I didn’t do something. Um, because it’s not my job and I know what I’m supposed to do. He claims he trusts us and we’re a great team but certainly does treat us like he trusts us.

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India.

Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
