I’ve been teaching elementary for 25 years and have a 15 and 17 year old boys. Teenagers have been harder than expected. I would love to teach high school right now to compare.

My high school will be moving to a 4 by 4 block schedule next year, and our middle school is currently on a 7 period day. The schools are on the same campus so there is a lot of teacher overlap which is the main issue. Middle school state tests are only administered in May, so there’s no way for our middle school to also shift to the block. What alternate schedules does your middle school use? What solution do you see to the problem?

I almost think that’s withholding information and I should share during round 1.

Does having a PMP certification hold any water in digital media? Do folks care? I’ve been using PMI resources to help solve problems / improve stuff at my org, and I’m tempted to get the full cert but I’m not sure if it’d actually mean anything / have a meaningful impact on my career or pay.

It’s not a huge investment in time or money but if it doesn’t have much of an impact I’d rather just keep reading free resources online on my own time

Hey awesome mamas! What are your plans for when you have to go back to work but your kids are staying home either doing distance-learning or the hybrid model? My three are all in middle school and high school doing the hybrid and are home by themselves Monday -Wednesday. Even though they’re old enough to be home by themselves I still don’t quite trust that they’re on task- especially my 6th grader. Also worried about having to help them with a lot of homework after I get home from work. Ideas?
