What are your thoughts on reading logs for independent reading? I moved to a new district this year an the entire department was pretty strong in reading logs. I’ve never used them before.

I've been using them this year and have in previous years. I know it doesn't guarantee independent reading but I think it encourages it. We are using a new reading program (lots of problems with it that I won't go into here) that has a good array of digital fiction and non-fiction texts. I also let them read whatever: magazine articles, news articles, graphic novels, whatever they like. We are fully remote. I post a new log every Monday to Google Classroom. I created a rubric attached to that assignment that assesses their ability to summarize the text. I taught and modeled that skill repeatedly and I am definitely seeing progress. Of course, you'll have some that don't follow the criteria or do it at all. But, that would be the case if remote or f2f.
Some teachers won't use logs, or any accountability with a rubric, but I find there's even less engagement when you do that.

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Any WFM nurses out there? Better work-life balance??

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.

This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.
