Where do I begin? I had an eyelash plucker, an eye brow plucker, an eye brow shaver a kid who ate her own lice, a genius autistic kid who read 4 million words in 6 months, a kid who can draw as great as Charles Schultz, should I keep going? All this year in the same class. I was never bored.

Does anyone have experience working for Connections Academy or another virtual academy? I am very interested in teaching from home, but most virtual jobs I have reviewed still require you to come to an office/ school building. I want to know what it is like, specifically the work load. Would you say more or less than public? How does classroom management, amount of grading, and freedom of curriculum differ?

Anyone use edgenuity? I'm starting Monday with students, never been trained, no guidance. Don't know how to set expectations if I don't know. ice breaker ideas? I'm not in my classroom.. media center.

Organization is critical for classroom management. Try assembling units into Google Slides with links to ppts, activities, etc. Color code them according to the rainbow: Unit 1 red, Unit 2 orange etc. It takes a minute at first but the payoff is a one click upload for next year! PS I use the same color code system with felt tip pens to grade my classes: 1st hr red, 2nd hr orange etc.

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?

So, I really ****ed up today and don’t really know what to do. W/O getting into specifics, I tried to do something nice, which involved telling a lie, and then got sort-of caught, but then lied again to cover my ass, and it’s spiraled out of control and now I don’t know what to do. Obviously I need to come clean, but I just really, really f’ed up and am freaking out. Everything has been so freaking stressful lately that I’ve done things I never thought I would & don’t even know who I am anymore.
