I have high school children of my own, but disciplining high schoolers has always intimidated me for some reason. I have excellent classroom management, but I feel like high schoolers are a little smarter ab getting around rules and less worried about consequences.

Do you have a classroom coach?

I am working on putting a PD session together for new teachers about using tech in the classroom. What tools/skills do new teachers need to know when they get started (other than learning their school's grading/attendance platform)?

Hello! I am in need of a job that makes at least $70k and is virtual in the DC area. I am adaptable, organized and a leader. I have experience in the classroom, as a manager, and as a sales and outreach coordinator. I attended both Virginia Tech and George Mason. I would love to connect and see what possibilities are out there for me.

6th grade Social Studies teacher here! 👋🏻 We currently use Inquiry Based Projects for our unit assessments. Any one else do this in their classroom? How do you do it?

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

Split classes take away joy! We have 6-7 classes at each grade level and they split 1-2 into the remaining 5 so we can have a 5 day schedule. Big classes plus the classroom culture homeroom teachers work so hard to achieve are ruined. Advice? (Plus we are told to "not be negative" by admin.)

Does anyone have experience working for Connections Academy or another virtual academy? I am very interested in teaching from home, but most virtual jobs I have reviewed still require you to come to an office/ school building. I want to know what it is like, specifically the work load. Would you say more or less than public? How does classroom management, amount of grading, and freedom of curriculum differ?

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

What are your opinions on going deskless in the classroom?

Abused and isolated as a kid. I have terrible memory. Like I don’t really remember the past few months except in broad strokes and memories of my childhood are more non existent than existent.

I was recently in Spain and my Spanish is native as well as my English, but I had the opportunity to attend the musical of the Lion King. I had already seen it in English and wanted to try it in Spanish, and although it is the same music the language change felt like total madness. Is this normal?

Anyone teaching an 11th Lit course with an EOC Test? How are you preparing students by reviewing for the writing section (Informational, Argumentative, Narrative)?

Here's your save-my-sanity question of the day. Our classes end-- for the year-- in 3 weeks. We also will have testing and finals. Do you think "1984" + misc dystopia will hold Sophomore interest?

Hi All! I am teaching English 4 for the first time this fall, and I’m just wondering what ideas y’all have for starting off. My class will be TINY (less than 5) so I want it to be super-engaging. All Black and Brown students. Help!

I’m a 7th grade ELA teacher in Texas!

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?
