Whew, it is always a wild ride. D
I tried to reward my classes today because their behaviors have improved. O e class really messed up. Of course they totally went off the chain, when I tried to focus them back to the task at hand, I got disrespect, defiance and outright hatefulness. It makes me want to cancel the fun for the rest of the day. Do you do rewards for your classes, how are their behaviors during rewards?

No. I don’t do whole class rewards- like earning a dance party for good behavior, etc. I build fun stuff into our day and make learning it’s own reward. I have really gotten away from tying behavior or achievement to materialistic or extrinsic rewards because it always seems to backfire. Plus, it makes kids do things for the wrong reasons in my opinion. I have had success with building strong relationships with the kids, helping them feel good about their successes and their own growth, and just building in the fun stuff - like dance breaks, nature walks or learning time in the outdoor classroom without tying it to anything.

It's hard because we will give rewards but sometimes it feels like you are almost bribing the children to behave because everytime they act up we tell them they need to behave for the reward.

I give weekly treats. It depends on the class behaviors. Of course, there are the really well behaved and focused students, then there's the challenges of others. So I make it a Monday and Friday for treats.

We do whole class rewards but one bad seed can ruin the bushel. If anyone has behaviors, reward is cancelled.

I think this is unfair for the class. Example: my son in first grade kept being distracted and not doing what he was supposed to do on time for a reward. The whole class was aware it was him ruining it, but he being undiagnosed ADHD and Asperger’s lived in his own bubble, so rewards or punishments for the whole class were not in his radar. The teacher thought peer pressure would make him feel bad and do his things on time, while he was totally unaware the other kids were even angry at him!

Any tips on assessing if the hiring manager will be a good manager and person to work with?

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
