One of my students lost their dad on the 2nd day of school. I’m going to go to the funeral and will bring what’s needed for the reception after. We have a meal train at school. I’m. Not sure what else I should be doing though. The class made cards. Any advice would be appreciated.

How sad! It sounds like you are doing a great job showing support for this student and the family. The meal train is so helpful! And the student will be glad for the card from his classmates. One gift I really appreciated when I lost my dad was the gift of a tree. I planted it my yard in memory of my dad. Not sure that it is possible in your area, but I love sitting near Dad’s tree and seeing it grow- a live reminder of him.

This is such a good idea. I think it would be comforting to a child to have such a gift.

You could, in a quiet moment, away from other kids, just mention that grief hits people different ways at different times, and if they ever need someone to talk to, you are there for them. Or if they need to take a break, you understand, and here's how we are going to do that. Then you can give them some procedure that will let them do what they need, without disrupting. You're giving them permission to care for themselves, and giving them she acceptable ways to go about it.

This a great way to help and assure the student that what he is feeling is normal and to comfort him.

You can give your student a special gift or a g8ft basket to the family.

I'm currently looking for a music therapy equivalency program. Google has only done so much help as it keeps bringing up masters programs and full degrees. I'm in Wisconsin, currently teaching full time, and I love my school district, so it's not like I can take a couple of years off. I just have a lot of students with special needs who would benefit from music therapy. I have done extra classes for them where we do stuff that I've picked up from others, but I want the certification.

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
