Vent....parents want more from teachers and I can’t do much more!!!!

Laid off. 17 applications, 1 bite. Round 2 and 3 interviews coming up. Just realized office is next door to emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend's job. He did a number on me. Idk what to do.

Thank you to all those that are joining! Hoping to create a space where we can all give practical advice and discuss working as legal professionals in the public accounting field!

They tell us not to eat time but then say if we go over the minimum hours that work will have to be reallocated...why don’t the higher ups understand that there is no one to reallocate the work to...

Are people still getting GSB interviews? Lol

Talk me off a ledge!!! I had an interview with one of the leading professional service firms that I won’t mention for an internal services Learning Manager role. (I’m a former employee from the consulting side) I had a first round interview, that from my perspective, I aced… I answered everything thoroughly, I was engaged with the interviewer…she stated my skills lined up perfectly with the role and that she wanted me to talk to her manager….15 min after the interview I get a no go email…ugh

Have interview coming up, really nervous. Need to develop and analyze a business case. Any suggestions on approach?

Hello!
I am very new to the States and am actually from India.
I have always been a girl who had many friends and was never alone.
I don't have any friends here unfortunately and wanted to ask if there are any Facebook groups or other forums especially for Indians who want to interact with each other.

In general, you can also give me tips on how to make friends.

Considering relocating to a bigger city for change in environment and for more opportunities. Which US city would offer the most opportunities and quality of life for folks of our background?

Looking for feedback’s for Kaar technology… pros and cons…

My date won’t share his playlist with me (I can listen to it but he won’t share it). Just curious, is playlist a big deal to guys? We are both at early 20s and only dated for a week

Who’s going to Puerto Vallarta for holidays and NYE?

We had a SPED teacher quit mid year and now 15 students on his caseload have had NO case manager for 2 months. Anyone else hear of this? Is this legal? Ideas?

How would you go about assisting a 6th grader with a second grade reading level? I’ve been asked this question by a secretary and told that needing more background information is unnecessary. How would you assist this 6th grade student with limited information given?

Does any have a computer based program to help take IEP data ? I have seen ieppal and whale shark software. Is there any others ?

How can the gifted teacher & I (inclusion teacher) work to meet the needs of a 2e (twice exceptional = gifted + disability) student?

Any Spec Ed teachers feel like every time you try to get your program running you can’t? I am not in a self-contained class but more of a student drop in resource room where I work in small groups with life skills students who come to me for instruction & then take independent tasks back to class to complete. I have a lot of room to add students to my schedule- but my boss seems to think I shouldn’t be taking on more students but it’s my job to help those struggling students. I’m at a loss.

Question: If SPED students are receiving their Resource Minutes AFTER the regular school hours from their peers (8:30-10:30) is that Legal? They are not being pulled from the general Ed classes, but participating in an extended day. Should minutes be calculated based on a normal school day or the 2 hours they are in class?

Our county is considering special ed teachers essential workers and prioritizing special ed teachers for vaccines. Is the state you live in doing something similar?

I use to enjoy pulling together lessons using a variety of resources, and not using textbooks or ready made curriculum. I just used the standards. These days, I’m finding that my online students find a set curriculum easier to navigate. I’m finding it easier to keep organized online. Anyone else having a similar experience?

How are people handling situations where their students have become so depressed, they aren’t virtually attending class anymore?

Hi. I am a Transition teacher in California. I would like to know what is the ratio of students to staff for community outings in your districts? I have been teaching in my district for 20+ years and it has always been 4:1 ratio for our moderate/severe transition classes. Now our director is saying it's 6:1 and I don't feel like this is safe for our students.

What are some strategies that can be implemented with a 4th grade student who’s on a 1.4-2.4reading level, according to the STAR test. This student just transferred in and he is very well spoken, has a large vocabulary(uses words that typical 4th grade students may not), and has a great creative imagination. His goals include reading fluency and written expression. He cannot spell nor read basic sight words without help. Sometimes, it seems as if he is waiting for me to read before he tries.

Hi this year my school went to full inclusion therfore my mild moderate self contained class was dissolved as my students were pushed into general ed classes. I am now called an inclusion teacher. Anyone else experience this? If so what are your thoughts? Thanks!

This fight has gotten real! I’ve been offered a job, advertised as remote, but they want to have a blended program with teachers on campus. Small school, 10-15 to a class... maybe, masks ( I’ll have to ask if they’re mandatory), distancing and a continuous cleaning staff. Sounds great but I’m 62 with 5 underlying conditions! Have to negotiate a contract Monday... I’m hoping I’ll be able to work on-line as NV is one of the growing hotspots in this Pandemic!

Any Self Contained MS teachers out there. Do you have students who are more behavioral than anything else. I am struggling to provide support to some of my students because of the behaviors of others in the classroom.

I have been teaching students with special needs for 21 years now. The class size used to be 12:1. Now it’s 15:1, but you can have up to 18 students with the variance. Now my Principal said that you can have up to 19 students!!!! Is anyone else noticing that the self contained class is getting larger?

Do you ever feel like you’re not allowed to vent about a bad day? I feel like we can’t just vent and chalk it up to a bad day and move on. If we are overheard saying anything than sunshine and rainbows you have to be scared of admin coming down on you - as far as written up for being unprofessional. Is it like this everywhere?!

How many files do you have in your caseload?
