We start in a week and a half and our schedules are STILL not finalized, meaning I don't know what grades/ classes I'll be teaching. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Anyone else in the same boat???

Hello Fishes,

Require an immediate help in deciding whether should I join KGS as I am only having 1.6 years of experience. Currently I am working in EY GDS under a tech risk team. The hike that I am getting is of 53% of current fixed Compensation.

I got selected in LTI, the offered CTC is less than my current CTC, HR says they have budget constraints.

They were aware about my current CTC right from the first call.

I also shared the counter offer that I'm holding. (Offered CTC > Current CTC)
Switch won't make sense if I don't get the basic hike.

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs

When you think you have made a mistake in life, when you have regrets, be gentle with yourself. Remember that you have the power to make choices. I've learned a lot about this from my friend...

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

I currently work in Atlanta for a healthcare management company that is local to the area. I just got into the healthcare industry and have my bachelors degree in health science. I work in a position in the revenue cycle and I am looking to possibly get a new job in a more established company. I want more stability and opportunity within a company. Does anyone know of any places in/around Atlanta or remote that may fit this criteria? Sorry for the vagueness. Thanks!

Those of you who do First Chapter Fridays or similar read-alouds, do you edit out curse words when you’re reading?

When you teach a novel in class, do you assign pages for students to read at home? They never do it! How can we finish anything?

What are some reading centers you do with your 5th - 6th graders while you pull a small group?

I learned so much about group work over the past few days. I now know to assign kids tasks in a group. I am planning a Socratic Seminar for R &J and Julius Caesar. Any insights or feedback?

My district is thinking about purchasing HMH into Literature for our reading and writing curriculum. We currently use Lucy Calkins Reading and Writing Workshop and are not happy with it. Does anyone have experience with HMH? Pros? Cons? Any info is appreciated! Thank you!

When beginning a piece of literature, I first help the kids access the relevant culture. I have used web quests, but I have found that the kids researching their choice of topics and creating Slides containing information and pics results in more students participating. Recently they researched heraldry for the Medieval Era and reproduced either a family crest that they found or created their own personal crest. Anyone have other activities they use?

I recently moved to a different district and am starting to plan ahead for next year. What novels and plays do you think are worthwhile and essential for 10th, 11th and Pre-AP? I have many in mind that I have used before but am really looking for some fresh ideas!

What are pet peeves you have as a teacher you have let go of? For me it is subject verb agreement.

What's a piece of advice you love to give to your senior students who feel very uncertain about the future?

What are some fun ideas for projects about describing setting? I was going to have them create travel brochures about the setting of a story of their choice but I think this might be overdone.

Hi All! I am teaching English 4 for the first time this fall, and I’m just wondering what ideas y’all have for starting off. My class will be TINY (less than 5) so I want it to be super-engaging. All Black and Brown students. Help!

How many of you have a set curriculum and how many of you get to choose the literature/create your own content? Which do you prefer?

How long have you been teaching? Also, what does self care look like for you?

I’m a 6th grade ELA teacher. I am struggling with teaching writing. Any advice to give?

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

Creative projects to do as a summative for Of Mice and Men?

I teach British Lit. For anyone else who teaches this, what are some of your favorites to teach? I have been doing Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, Macbeth, Etc., but want to add something new this year

Anybody taught “A Long Walk to Water” for 6th grade? We just adopted it and I need some suggestions to get my kids to understand the whole new culture it introduces to them.

Happy Friday!!!! How many of you have started using these one-pagers I hear all the Lit teachers talking about? Do you get thoughtful, quality work from Ss?
