I’ve taught 3rd or 5th grade my whole career of 26 years. I’m venturing into a new domain with a multi age 3-5 grade PBL and workshop model charter within our school. Any advice for multiage teaching

I was the science teacher for grades 1-4 for two years. It was fun and crazy. Try to plan your year out so that you are doing all life science at the same time in all grades. It makes prep ans material management much easier

Comment 1 right on the money. I'll suggest a helmet and elbow pads. 😁

That will help too!

I teach teamwork right away, too. Rules, support, helpful comments, how to give and recieve feedback. I need everyone's help in a multi-age classroom.

I was hired a few months ago by D to do data science. I am not doing data science currently, is there a way I can switch roles internally? Should I talk to my coach? Or should I just start looking for a new job. I’m starting to feel that the field is so hot rn my small stint at D won’t be a big deal to other firms.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

One student told me that she took chemistry last year, and in 10 minute I was able to connect all of the pieces that never made any sense to her. Her 'aha's moment was like candy to me.
