What a great lesson!

like

I think the lesson is a great topic but...I would start with a series of lessons defining “race” and privilege. This teacher had students rank themselves; I likely wouldn’t do that activity.

What’s really interesting to me is the media response. 🤔

You’re right!

I believe we need to respect parents’ rights to decide what they want to teach their child. This oversteps these boundaries.

@Illinois, I agree. I think ranking themselves was too much; I find it fairly enraging. However, there is no “ideology” that the ranking supports or negates and I see no value in it whatsoever.

I am currently serving my notice period ending on October 5 in the company "A" But my fnf is supposed to take place somewhere between 15-25 November.

Meanwhile, I am supposed to join somewhere else, let's say company "B" on October 12. As fnf at firm A is supposed to take place around November 15-25, will they release my UAN number.

I just wanna be sure the final fnf date does not cause any issue with my employment at Company "B"

Please someone explain.

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?

Has anyone else had this experience? How are non-reelect teachers viewed in the profession and by future employers? It seems so cruel when a 2nd year teacher is told they will not be re elected to continue the next school year and not given any explanation. This is supported by ed code, sad. Especially, when this teacher only ever received positive work performance feedback, whose students made progress, and they built great relationships with students,, co-workers, parents.
