Hi folks,
I have recently joined capgemini.
Is it worth opting for bus pass if we're working in hybrid mode? Bcoz i think any way if we opt for, the company will deduct whole month specific amount under conveyance allowance.

Hey Fishies

Hi Folks,

I have 2 YOE as Automation tester but I am more inclined towards devops.

Can anyone suggest me any course or any roadmap for this.

M&A/PE associate (trying to juggle multiple deals) feeling like I don’t have time to dive deeper into issues and it being highlighted in some of my work product as I am having to turn things right away and just pushing things out - so issues I may have caught if I had a better/deeper/higher level understanding are more apparent when partners review. Truly feeling like I’m just messing up all around but trying to give myself grace. How do you know if it’s just you or a part of the process?

How much does a “ Principal Business Operations and Strategy” role at Google SF pay ? (Recognize that exact numbers are not possible but sharing any range would be appreciated)

Does anyone have any information or know anyone, who has done EHLS English for Heritage Language Speakers program at Georgetown University?

Ping me for referrals at Oracle. Java/Data Engineers/Data Scientists/QA automation

Can we delete our submitted broadband claim?

I have a principal with ZERO sped experience or knowledge observing and rating me. I got all distinguished last year from my AP. He gave me all basics & 2 unsat. He’s told us to not worry about goals

What are some tools you use to track progress (IEP goals) for high school students? How often do you track?

I have a student who only comes to school two days a week and then only for 1 hour. He tells me I have to pass him so it doesn't matter. This is very frustrating. I knew this student hates school and often states he is stupid. I just do my best to encourage him. Build confidence. Any ideas to encourage him more? By the way, taking to his parent does nothing.

Are there any ARD Facilitators in this group?

What has been your greatest challenge this year and how have you overcome?

Do IEP team members other than parents have any rights? For example, when a student is moved from an alternative placement and the amendment meeting was only held with administrators and not with the general education or special education teachers. What happens when you don’t get invited, but should be??

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.

How long do you spend on core subjects if not a goal on IEP? So if most goals are life skills (putting shoes on, zipping, etc.) how long would you spend on math during math hour or how much do you worry about writing activities if they can’t write etc?

Educational book recommendations! I love to read, please list any educational books you loved, especially related to special education!

Any suggestions for getting kids to do homework? Sped Math 6th grade high need area - I cannot get these kids to turn in hw. Anyone agree with the idea of allowing class time for HW? I am at a loss

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site? I am only a second year SPED teacher and my eyes are already wide open to the fact that admin and Gen Ed teachers so often fail to inform me about important things regarding the grade levels I teach and other school events. Then I’m left scrambling to inform my students and parents of essential information, and I’m embarrassed! My aides also look at me like why don’t you know this? Aggravating.

Did anyone get their Behavior Analysis certification after their masters in Special Ed? Anyone do it online?

As a SPED teacher, do you feel like your admin "gets" your students and what you do for them? If not, what would you like them to know?

What's the best printer for a Special education self contained classroom? I have 10 students and need a printer that can handle printing work for them daily and IEPs at the end of the year. Any suggestions? Cost of 350 or less preferable

Does anyone send a meet your teacher paper to the new kids on your caseload during the summer? I know many gen Ed teachers do things like this- but I think it may be nice for new parents to know who I am. Just looking for ideas! ☺️

Hi! I have an interview on Monday for a Special Ed position. There are multiple positions so the interview is for Elementary / MS position. Can anyone tell me what questions I can expect to be asked?

Does your school allow you to send out a supply list? I have to buy all the student supplies for my SPED classroom.

Thinking about looking for another SPED teaching job after being at the same school for 12 years. I don't feel appreciated at all. My question is......will another county in the same state honor my tenure and salary that I already have at this job? How do I go about politely asking future employers this question and still get hired?
