What high school ELA curriculum program are you using? I know some teachers use whatever resources they want to teach the standards, but we are having to use “high quality instructional materials”, which are basically nationally published curriculum. (HMH, O’Dell, etc). What are you using in high school ELA and how do you feel about it?

Officially, HMH, but I have a lot of autonomy and can bring in whatever I want as long as the students are engaged and it fits the state standards. I’ve also used Pearson/Savaas at a previous district and I really liked their platform.

I go back and forth. We can use whichever we want but I use HMH and O'Dell depending on my class. I think I like O'Dell better though

Hi Fishes,

Uploaded documents on Ibegin. Finished HR connect for screenshot on last Friday. When can I expect offer letter? .Will I get a mail trigger once the Ibegin status is changed? Is it fingers crossed for me? or will I get the offer for sure? Much needed for me now at this point of time. Any insights from recent joiners (in last 2 months) would help me stay sharp.

At my school there are buttons being passed out that say, “She/her, he/him they/them.” I have no problem with anyone wearing these buttons but I don’t like feeling pressure to wear one myself.

I really don’t think I’m being transphobic by not wearing one but I just don’t want to wear one. What is your opinion on this?
