Here are 15 questions I love to ask my teachers to reflect on a deeper level and learn more about them. After trial and error, I’ve found these particular questions have yielded really meaningful conversation. (These may be hard to read because I had to take a screenshot of a pdf)

Kristie Pretti-Frontzak is another one of my favorites. I know the page mentions Pre-K, but her “Superpowers Self Assessment” and “Emotional Quotient Quiz for Leaders” are great reflection tools for all teachers (and administrators). I love to start with the Superpowers Self-Assessment because it’s empowering for teachers and starts things out with the strengths they’re bringing to the table both in and out of the classroom.

Has anyone ever used the will/skill matrix? This has definitely helped me with motivation style and how to better engage some of the teachers I coach. Lots of concrete examples of how to set teachers up for success!

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!

Our teachers will be returning to our school building as usual (about 10 days before school starts) whether school is virtual or face to face, so our school is wanting to plan a traditional welcome back for them. In the past, the celebration was usually a whole school group event at on off-campus locale. Unfortunately, with social distancing, etc., it makes it quite difficult to do the big gathering. Just wondering what other schools may be planning to welcome back their teachers. Suggestions??
