Has anyone taken a more junior role in investment banking to prove themselves to a higher caliber firm with the intent on them hiring you and promote you once they see your capabilities? Currently have a 1 YOE experience at a boutique investment bank and just did 3 interviews at a bulge bracket but failed to make it pass the last one due to the firm going with another Candidate

I’ve never worked at a firm, only public interest and have no idea how to do billable hours.

I am concerned with fulfilling billable hours requirement. I’m required to hit 2100 hours yearly and I’m at ~1,500 hours and I think I’ll hit 150-180hours this month. What will happen if I don’t hit my targeted amount by the end of my year.

Anyone working as an LVN in Wyoming ? Trying to see what the usual hourly wage is supposed to be out here. I’m currently in Sheridan, Wyoming

Need advice: 30 Weeks and feel like third trimester has been an emotional rollercoaster. Get upset very easily and any small comment made by my husband makes me cry. Tonight I was by myself for dinner and could not stop crying and feeling anxious, scared and alone. I don’t know if this is depression or just hormonal. Has anyone felt like this ever or I should take it more seriously and talk to my provider about it in my next visit?

My 40 yo client regularly calls me “kid”. At 30 I think it’s mostly endearing but still drives me nuts

Do you think most industries will eventually go back to full time/ 5 days per week in the office?

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! ☺️

I work with middle and high school students that have mild LD. Has an felt that they have to walk them through every step of every assignment?

Please discuss how the role of advocacy has evolved with technology and its limitations.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

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.

When your resource group is more than 5 or 6 students and they are all at different levels AND you only have them for 20 to 30 mins.....how do you make the most use of your time? How can you work towards their individual goals as well as fill in gaps in learning when there is 8 to10 students that are at different levels of learning and all require some level of assistance in order to complete even simple tasks? Feeling a little overwhelmed today.

What Sped teachers wish Gen Ed teachers knew....

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

How do you deal with students that say they don’t know what to do after you have repeated the directions multiple times?

I am also being released, however my school has told me that I can come back once i accomplish the tasks I need to accomplish.
For people that are on the fence about the industry, I tell them to try another district. You know what you did and didn't like about your school so you can go in armed to see what another school is like. Don't be afraid to see the school, ask for a tour, talk to the teachers. Sky's the limit!

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!!!

What cheat sheets do you all use for writing IEP goals? Is it from the district?

My students come to my class first every morning and are really hard to settle. They continue to carry on whatever they were doing on the bus. It takes about 20 min to get them settled down and doing the warm up and the class is only 45 min. Any tips?

Is anyone in this group a K-2 VE teacher in Florida?

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

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.
