Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?
My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision. When I reached out to recruiter to give her an update and mentioned once there’s decision will discuss on the start date before putting my 2 weeks, she mentioned “Yes, we should talk before you put notice” - Am I overthinking?

Some people put a checklist up in the classroom abd have students refer to the checklist before asking for help. Things like re-read the directions. Ask the person next to you... then if you still don't know- then ask for help.
Or put up specific questions- like I don't understand what this word means. I don't understand what I have to submit. I don't know what materials I am supposed to be using.
At the middle school level they really don't think like that- so it will have to be heavily modeled and visible at all times with strong expectations that they do those things first.
Love this idea!
I'm not sure that at the middle school level, they are wired for that. The stages of growth are not ready for that kind of critical thinking. I think that you have an uphill battle.
Creating a shared document for these is a possibility that will address some of these support issues while teaching some self-reliance. A classroom FAQ can be created from this. Involve the students as much as possible, so they learn to help each other and help themselves.
I don’t know but I’d love to hear other answers
I always say kids have to give me an option. So instead of “I don’t understand” it becomes “I put the citation here like this. I’m not sure about it.” I look at it and comment. The “I don’t understand” is just too broad.
