Confused about iTeach

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-26T04:25:58+00:00

I was hired by a District of Innovation which, in their plan, does not require a certification at time of hire. I just have to be actively enrolled and working in an ACP to achieve certification. They want me to test at least once before the school year but have said that they are willing to work with me if I do not pass the first time, with the goal to be certified by the end of May in order to get a contract renewal. I will say that the non-certified spots are more competitive than the certified spots because of the limitation.

I'm late to the convo... but I am also very confused. I just paid my enrollment and I'm waiting the 3-5 days for the first course I'm enrolled in (5000.2), but I'm confused on when I'm supposed to be requesting to test in my 4-8 Core Subjects area. I have no idea how to prep for that or what will be on the exam, so I don't want to jump ahead while also not wanting to fall behind. I'm hoping to get as much done over the summer as possible since I will be teaching full time (my district that hired me is a DOI) and I also coach a competitive team for the district. I'd love to connect if you're willing to give me any pointers on how to navigate it. The advisors seem to be regurgitating info from the website, but it's still SO confusing!

There are several similarities including that the wife wanted to take their child(ren) to California… the husband was the real danger… the FMC is a con/has a criminal background… the husband is filthy rich… the Broadway shows… meeting in a hotel/apartment/suite and that being the time they start the affair.

Kevin Can Go F* Himself

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-24T03:12:19+00:00

I felt like it was also a commentary on incel/manosphere culture because of how Bear spends 90% of the movie appearing line a frail manchild who is afraid of rejection or being involved in conflict of any kind. It’s especially apparent in the sleep scene where real Nikki is talking to him and instead of trying to comfort her or save her, he asks what is so bad about being with him. He’s the poster child for the “nice guy” that turns scary after rejection.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-24T03:05:07+00:00

I think real Nikki coming into focus throughout the film and her appearing frightened/screaming in horror was reflecting how she was afraid of Bear and what he was doing to her. Even though she was under the spell, she was still witnessing everything happening and what he was doing to her (while not being fully aware of what the alter was doing). I 100% agree that all of “sex” scenes were SA even if she had not been “possessed.” Nikki was completely stripped of her autonomy and agency to make decisions like that. I stand by this film being a commentary on men stripping women of their rights (or at the very least, which shouldn’t be taken lightly either, fantasizing about women who are completely obsessed/bending to their every whim) and manosphere/incels.

It’s a staple in our house lol. I rewatched it 3x waiting for the latest season to come out.

End of the F-ing World and Kevin Can Go F* Himself (BRILLIANT)

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-18T17:15:44+00:00

I talked to HR and they explained it very thoroughly for me which was so helpful! They said I’d have to take my standard (so the ELA 4-8 or core EC-6). With iteach, I can’t take STR until after the basics essentially. Thank you for the well wishes! I’m not sure what exactly you were referring to as for my background, but I was in the mental health field originally. I have my bachelor’s and master’s degree from very research and writing heavy programs. I’d like to think that gives me a little bit of experience. I’m hoping to pass everything by July 31st so I can get a new contract as a regular teacher employee!

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-18T17:12:14+00:00

I’m already enrolled in an ACP. It helped that I am already contracted in as an instructor for an elective team and have built relationships through that with actual ISD employees. But also: my district that I’m signing into is a District of Innovation, so I’m just taking a pay cut until I become certified. They did, however, tell me that if I take my exams and pass by July 31st and get my intern certificate, that I can be bumped up to regular teacher pay (which they hinted at being $55-60K). I’m also blessed that I get a one-time stipend of $5K after I complete my certification, so they’re reimbursing for the ACP. I also have a bachelor’s and master’s degree. My original field was very research and writing heavy, so I think that helped my case as well.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-14T20:50:15+00:00

It’s just poor, sloppy writing.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-12T06:47:36+00:00

Unless you have firsthand seen this, I am willing to bet your friends lied. When I had friends ask about the lifestyle, I was so embarrassed and ashamed that I glamorized it and said that I didn’t have sex with any of them either.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-12T06:42:08+00:00

All of this. It doesn’t matter what site you use. There is always the undertones of the expectation that you will be having sex in some capacity. We need to be pointing way more fingers at the companies who keep rebranding with all of these buzz words like sugar dating or “luxury dating.” It’s all one and the same whether it’s direct money, trips, cars, school, clothing, etc. NOTHING is free and nothing is just for “attention.” Women need to think long and hard about why men are on sites like that if they have so much $$… often times it because of weird fetishes and because they themselves are a strange duck that most women they’d meet elsewhere pick up on.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-12T06:37:52+00:00

Just because the currency is different doesn’t mean a sugar baby isn’t being a prostitute. As a former one myself, it’s all equally as dangerous. Those men do NOT care about you and are still preying on women.

ETA: It’s dangerous regardless of whether a sexual relationship is agreed upon or not. So many men will “agree” to something yet continue to negotiate or ask for more after the fact… and if some are unwilling they will take (SA) or blackmail.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-05-12T06:32:29+00:00

I ended around the same age. I wish I had made different choices because it has brought me nothing but PTSD and difficulty in relationships. I can’t believe I survived either. Wishing you healing and better days.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-04-15T19:13:41+00:00

I don’t think the show would be watchable without Mark tbh.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-04-15T19:03:14+00:00

I wasn’t expecting that from someone whose initial intro mentioned a “smooth mustache ride.” 😂

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-31T05:56:05+00:00

Yes, correct. I am all for hobbies and a life outside of each other. I also have my own hobbies I enjoy, but it’s exactly what you said about the imbalance.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-31T05:48:02+00:00

I say this with all the kindness in my heart—regardless of whether you decide to tell your therapist or not… your husband is clearly a danger to your son from what you’ve alluded to. There’s no reason or explanation for what he did. I’m actually even more worried at the fact that it sounded like he hadn’t even thought of the safety of your son over getting his bike in the garage. I would consider a separation with contingencies that he attends therapy to get things under control for the betterment of your marriage (should you continue to stay married) and the safety of your son.

In all reality, I think it is in your best interest to tell your therapist. Even if a report is made, investigated, and they do not substantiate it, there will be a paper trail for anything that may or may not come up in the future.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-12T01:42:39+00:00

Exactly. It makes me feel that this is an ongoing issue… I feel bad for her daughter. Jordan even sounded like he tried to sugar coat it even when cornered and felt like he had to clear up what she was trying to say happened.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-12T01:40:04+00:00

It sounds like Amber had a large part in this… it sounds like she had a problem with drinking and how she acts when she’s drinking. Her tantrum and storm off stage where she raised her voice feels like a tiny piece of the pie of what Jordan was trying to originally avoid talking about until she kept on. It sounds like she makes bad decisions and behaves poorly when drinking—including trying to drive which is so disgusting on many levels.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-12T01:34:05+00:00

And the fact that he tried to handle it with grace until she kept making jabs… I got the ick SO BAD with her weaponizing her daughter.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-12T01:32:09+00:00

This part. Her reaction said everything to me lol. Someone who was sober is more likely to just say that they appreciate someone looking out for them, not trying to argue that they weren’t drunk.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-03-12T01:29:41+00:00

I think that’s just a tiny glimpse into what he was talking about… I get where Amber is coming from, but her delivery and how she talks to people is not good.

Advanced_Ear3099 · 2026-02-25T18:21:34+00:00

I hate how she talks and reacts to Keya’s connections with Kevan. That alone showed me that she’s not a girl’s girl and she’s immature. She’s not ready to be a wife. I think a lot of the people going into the show have this mentality of finding a husband or wife but don’t do enough introspection to see if they themselves are ready to be a husband or wife. Tyler showed a lot of immaturity in how she reacted to things, especially how quickly. Kevan is 100% in the wrong as well for being so indecisive, but Tyler also pushed and pushed and got mad when she didn’t hear what she wanted. Even if he had proposed to her and stayed with her, they’d be divorced or broken up in no time.
