What authors, books, articles, movies or other media are you exploring with your students for Black History Month? If you live in a state where you're still allowed to teach about it of course. This week we're reading One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia and we already read the Watsons go to Birmingham in January!

I am contemplating a new offer for Validation Lead role (non- managerial) at a Big pharma, with 4 years experience -post masters degree. Suggestions on what the compensation should look like ?

I am looking to leave my current position due to not having the opportunity to run campaigns and earn experience.
However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.

Anyone have good recommendations for a recruiter in Tampa Florida? 2 year attorney already feel trapped in ID but don’t know what else to do. Every recruiter that reaches out to me is for an ID role.

Any feedback on work culture

Selling a peloton cause I’m moving out of town in a couple weeks, ~4 months old, hardly used and in great condition, $1000 or best offer

Why do we do this to ourselves? I’ve been working 90+ hour weeks for the past 9 months, always under insane pressure, I’ve given up weekends, holidays, any possible time, and the firm still wants more

Did anyone hate wedding planning? I’m constantly considering cancelling the wedding cuz I honestly can’t believe how much drama it’s causing with all family members.......

🎉 Congrats to all who were promoted!

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

Anyone at Spotify willing to refer? I found a position that fits perfectly, but have no contacts there.

It is almost the end of the traditional school year 😅. What are your summer plans?

My coworker tried to tell me that react is an API….

We're seeing a lot of hiring freezes happening in the tech space, with the exception of some high growth startups. Is this affecting anyone else?

Has anyone tried Brass clothing?

I’m a tax senior in big 4. Which role in the industry has a better career trajectory in terms of growth and pay: senior accountant or senior tax accountant? I do a lot of tax provision and starting to find tax interesting but I’m not having a lot of luck finding openings for in house tax roles.

Equity research associate considering to pivot into IBD. Is this a wise choice? Heard ER is an exit for some of the IB folks out there.

I'm a first time Junior English teacher. What are some tips for differentiating an honors class from a regular class?

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?

I'm looking for the best go-to resources to supplement middle school ELA and make it more relevant and accessible to all learners.

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!

What are some projects you’ve had students do to show the influence of classical works in a genre?

I’m a 7th grade ELA teacher in Texas!

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

Today, my entire class stated they do not feel comfortable working with the school's instructional coach. How can I, as a teacher, encourage them to open up and receive helpful strategies and help with their homework if they are not comfortable? Any suggestions? I don't have time to assist everyone.

I teach middle school reading intervention, but I am noticing a high amount of students at our school do not have any phonemic awareness. What are you best ways to combat this?

I can not teach a phonics class and I already pull small groups. Any resources? Wanting to plan over the summer for next year.

What is THE BEST professional development you've ever been to? (Conference? District workshop? Etc.)

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?

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.

I’m thinking about moving up to a high school English position from 8th grade English. Mainly I’m looking for a change. Any thoughts on the differences I’d be facing?

I have high school children of my own, but disciplining high schoolers has always intimidated me for some reason. I have excellent classroom management, but I feel like high schoolers are a little smarter ab getting around rules and less worried about consequences.

I’m told by an hs tchr that the grading load is ab the same.

Anyone familiar with the Read180 program? Curious what people think who’ve tried it.

Here's your save-my-sanity question of the day. Our classes end-- for the year-- in 3 weeks. We also will have testing and finals. Do you think "1984" + misc dystopia will hold Sophomore interest?

Do you do most of your novel reading in class or assign it for homework? Why?

Anyone teaching an 11th Lit course with an EOC Test? How are you preparing students by reviewing for the writing section (Informational, Argumentative, Narrative)?

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
