Take intentional breaks from the work. A teacher’s job seems never ending so it is important to draw the line for physical and mental rest.

I would always take a walk around campus during my conference period. I also never took work home (after the first few years of teaching). I'm not currently teaching because of the stress it caused me over 7 years, but I'm still working in education. Teaching is the most stressful job I've ever had and I couldn't take it anymore so I elected to take a lesser paying job to reduce stress levels (if you can believe a job pays less than teaching). It has helped my mental well-being.

I'd have to say I mostly don't. However, I no longer do school work on the weekends. I have a special needs adult son and my working every spare minute last year significantly effected him. He began to see himself as a burden to me. I can't have that, so my time out of school is based around him. All that being said, Early Saturday mornings is my time to myself. I can drink coffee on the porch until sunrise and then work on things I need to do that will give me a sense of accomplishment. Maybe I will do laundry, but maybe I will create greeting cards for people I care about.

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

My district has finally gone 1-to-1. Is there a good app or website that I could use to have students submit answers anonymously while going over problems in class? I did this last week using Kahoot to go over a state testing review packet. It was great because I could see how many got the right answer and move on if no one missed the question. However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.

What’s your opinion on math homework? I teach 4th grade and have always given it but I’d like to see what others do and weigh out if it’s really worth it. If I give it, I feel like I should spend class time going over it but on the other hand I stress myself out trying to keep the absent work organized and those that don’t even do the work.

Any good outside activities (math related) that I can do? I have Nerf guns and remote control cars I could use.

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
