I have a question, if anyone could share what they have in their district.
I started with 8 students, now just past semester and I am up to 15 in person students and 1 virtual. I teach w/ 2 phenomenal paras! The para support comes in the gen ed class. 1 para has 2nd gr & 4 students; 3 behavior w/ 2 reading spt & 4th gr now has 6 very high need! I have 3 times a day where I am alone working 3 different instructions. Does anyone else have this. I have grades 2-5 and no concern from admin!

I absolutely hate having to ask clients for extra things. They’re always annoyed and rude which tbh I kinda get cause I would be annoyed by it too. Does anyone else struggle with this or am I just weird?

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

Why the heck WLB is so bad in ZS across all projects, why cant senior leadership do something about it when they know it is the major reason many talented candidates are declining their offer.
Infact I have seen in few interviews, they upfront warn candidates/interviewees about working hours and ask them if they are ready to work long hours. Is this even ethical?

Single women, how do you prefer to meet men during these precarious times? Dating apps can be a slog. Any female fish here want to meet up for a drink? 33/M/recent transplant from NYC. Send me a DM!

I have 1 one year old and have told my husband that I want to get divorced. He is being immature about the process and is just trying to make everything difficult. Sometimes he says he will move out, then he says the baby and I should, sometimes he says he wants custody when the real reason im leaving is his lack of interest amd resppnsibility toward our family. I can tell he is hurt and is upset that i dont love him anymore and want to get everything ready to make the exit easy. How do I start?

Hello fishes,

I recently gave my technical phone screening interview for the role of BA 1 at Amazon it went pretty good was able to answer 90% of the answers but after that I see that my job application shows on their portal shows 'no longer under consideration' although I'm yet to receive any mails from them.

Can anyone tell me what it means have I been rejected or something else.

Thanks everyone

Hi all, new here. I just landed an HR position and I have my first HR meeting on Wednesday. My manager asked me to come with a fun fact about myself. Argh I hate doing these things. What’s a good fun fact that’s not too cliche?

What are effective ways to ensure your team feels content within the workplace? There is a rise of many people feeling undervalued and not cared for as an employee. I would like to change that. No matter the job, no one should feel less than.

I have been teaching students with special needs for 21 years now. The class size used to be 12:1. Now it’s 15:1, but you can have up to 18 students with the variance. Now my Principal said that you can have up to 19 students!!!! Is anyone else noticing that the self contained class is getting larger?

I work with kiddos that have multiple disabilities K-6. Our district is doing distance learning. Yup, computer learning for students who may or may not be able to see, walk or talk. I was wondering what other teachers are doing for their kids who are in this situation?

I went to my GE science teachers and asked for a comprehensive list of what is taught in biology in our GE classes. My goal is to take the main ideas and bring the concepts down to the level of my students to keep them moving at a similar rate. I was told they do not feel they can share that with me because we do not have our class assignments for next year yet.

SSSOOOO...can anyone help me come up with a Biology Concept list?

What are your thoughts about the special education system separating EBD into Emotional Disorder and Behavior Disorders? Then putting more emphasis on licensure for Emotional with mental health, Anxiety, and ADHD?

Hey! I'm looking for a self-monitoring checklist or graphic organizer for the new US History regents essays. Something my High school SWD could use to help guide him through writing a good essay response. Does anyone have any materials or suggestions?

I have been working in special education for 12 years ; 8 years at the high school level and 4 years at the middle school level. I love my kids and what I do but I am seriously burnt out with all of the extra work that we have to do in addition to teaching. I want to be a general education 1st or 2nd grade teacher in hopes of avoiding the mountain of paperwork and the physical labor of assisting large students with daily personal care activities. What are the pros and cons of working in Gen Ed?

What do you do to relax after work?

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom. We try to let him play with the students at recess or join in class parties. He has a sibling that attends school as well. When we were waiting in car line a group of girls talked about how they feel so bad for the sibling because of my student. Thankfully, neither student or sibling heard. But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?

High School SPED teachers: am interested to know what your caseload numbers look like? What do you think is reasonable?

Canvas Question: Does anyone know if it is possible to look at a student’s grades in all of their classes on one page without having to go into each one individually and check out the grade section? I ask because I manage a caseload of students where I need to know how they are doing in each of their classes.

I have a parent that I questioning the accommodations we are providing to her daughter. Accommodations can be amended but the student does not do any work at home. Help!

Interview this week for 7th grade Special Ed Math. Any tips on what questions I can expect? I have never taught SPED but currently working on my masters. I have experience with inclusive classes

I work at an elementary school in North Alabama. We are in need of a 4th grade special education teacher.

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site? I am only a second year SPED teacher and my eyes are already wide open to the fact that admin and Gen Ed teachers so often fail to inform me about important things regarding the grade levels I teach and other school events. Then I’m left scrambling to inform my students and parents of essential information, and I’m embarrassed! My aides also look at me like why don’t you know this? Aggravating.

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.
