Our district voted on returning back to school with students in the classroom and some staying at home. We now have to teach students in the room and on Zoom at the same time. I’m not complaining but does anyone have any tips on the best and most effective way to get this done?

Also wondering what curriculum is being used, if any, in your classrooms

I’m a 3rd grade SDC teacher on an emergency credential — had never stepped foot in a classroom before last Tuesday. Can anyone offer advice/resources for lesson plan development? Help!

What do you do when you need a sub? What kinds of plans work best for subs in the Spanish classroom? I have needed subs lately and have found it hard to plan lessons that aren’t just busy work.

Our school uses Foss Kits for Science and I was told when students return, we will need to sanitize all items before and after each use. This doesn’t seem possible in a middle school setting where each period has a 4 minute break and 25 students in each period. What do you do in your classroom to minimize the amount of work needed to clean and sanitize items. I don’t want to short change the students’ hands-on experiences.

How is your district implementing school reentry? How are you setting up your classrooms to meeting social distancing while still allowing for free play?

Is anyone else returning to fully in person learning? We have been hybrid/synchronous since September, which has been very hard and not very effective. They want us to have all Kindergarten students come back in March. I want to stop live teaching over google meet all day while also teaching my students in person at the same time, but there is not enough space in my classroom for safe distancing, not enough space for movement, and sitting at a desk all day is not appropriate for K kids!

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

I live in Florida's 5th district and am genuinely so discouraged by the options of the universal primary. They're all Republicans which is why it's universal and i was like ok fine I'll just vote for the most moderate as I've voted for moderate Rs in the general of local elections before. 1st ones 1st Google result was a bunch of transphobic tweets, 2nd ones 1st result was fb campaign page of antivax BS, 3rd one is the incumbent who just voted against marriage yesterday... Why

EY GPS isn't very reassuring when it comes to appraisals without having MBAs, even for associate consultants.
I'm going in for my call next week with 3+ YOE, consistently great feedback reports, and a current CTC of 7LPA. What should I be expecting? So far I've heard it won't be any more than a 20% hike and nobody I've spoken to sounds confident about that either...

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color?
