It was a pleasant day off today - super glad I get today, Thurs, and Fri off this week to recharge a little. Is there anyone that gets the whole week off for Thanksgiving? I feel like my students would be elated to have another full week off after just getting a full week for fall break just a couple of weeks ago.

Wed -Fri off. I would gladly start or end school the two days needed to make up for having a week off for Thanksgiving. Times have changed, breaks like this would help teachers as well as students. We don’t get a fall break, this is the longest time off until Christmas.

Same as you. Wed Thursday and Friday! 🦃

We've got the three days off. Which is nice, I was able to spend today preparing some things for the feast. Somehow managed to bake two pies, so it turned out to be a pretty productive day.

Wow! You definitely were more productive than me 😂

We get the whole off but we do not have a fall break. Then, 3 more weeks until winter break which is 3 weeks!

like

Oh wow! I actually really like that. Our winter break is only 2 weeks!

We used to only have Thursday and Friday off. We noticed that we had lots of student absences. We now have a week off at Thanksgiving, President's week in February, and spring break and two weeks at winter break. We start a few days earlier and end a few days later, but the breaks are so essential for our mental health.

Okay not going to lie... Having a week off for President's Day sounds AMAZING. No long breaks from Jan-April is killer for me

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

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!

HELP! 30+ years of teaching Sped and I’m at a loss. 6th grade student in Middle School with Doose syndrome. Prior to MS, the elementary said he never caused problems. Since the 1st day, he is disruptive in class, refuses to work, and is disrespectful. He has a one-on-one para but she is in tears most days because of his behavior. Parents agreed with a behavior plan - he thinks it’s a game. Parents say he is not allowed to be this way at home.

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with?
