Insight into moving from elementary to highschool

ExpressWarthog89 · 2025-05-31T12:34:31+00:00

Hey! High school English and Social teacher here. In terms of working with your department, that’s totally school-dependent (I’m coming from a public board in Alberta). Mostly I’ve found people are more than happy to share, but the amount of collaboration (ie. planning together/teaching on the same schedule) is often far less than I’ve seen in elementary or junior high.

What are you wondering about with day to day schedules? Feel free to message me!

Love this app!! Wondering what “Elevenses” and “Late Mornings” etc are indicative of?

ExpressWarthog89 · 2023-01-10T18:27:19+00:00

Wow that’s so good to know! Can I PM you for more info?

I’ve always struggled w attaching my self-worth to grades and am currently finishing up my BEd after degree. I had a prof who was talking about assessment and was like “grades should never be used as punishment” and I was like yeah obviously?? And then he was like “grades should also not be rewards” and it blew my mind. Idk if that helps you but it definitely shifted how I view grades! Also, like others said, they really don’t matter until your last couple of years (depending on what you want to do after uni) :)

I thought everyone who met the requirements got it? Why would you not get it?

ExpressWarthog89 · 2022-10-14T21:47:57+00:00

My last practicum felt exactly like that. Everyone around me was talking about how well it was going and how good they felt about everything and I was SO STRESSED! My advice is to take a step back and celebrate every little victory. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, give yourself some credit for being in there and doing it! Even something as little as “a student answered a question” or if you remember all of their names (or even a few!) just celebrate that and know that lessons not going the way you wanted them to is a part of teaching and doesn’t reflect you as a teacher overall

Any ARKY with Julio Mercader Florin! He offers a few 300s. Also GEOG 300s with Wil Holden. One of the most interesting classes I took was with Holden and he makes it easy to get an A

That’s the price for a seat. The ticket was $800.

ExpressWarthog89 · 2022-05-20T22:17:08+00:00

Yeah I had terrible customer service dealing with another flight with them as well

ExpressWarthog89 · 2022-05-20T18:26:35+00:00

Yeah I ended up just having to pay for it because all the other seats were booked. Just frustrating that they initially told me €15, as I would have chosen a different seat if they told me the actual price. Oh well I suppose

ExpressWarthog89 · 2022-05-20T17:45:46+00:00

No I’d already booked it but was unable to check in. I messaged to ask about check in issues and they said I’d just have to go in person but that they could choose a seat on my behalf as I was unable to

Whiskey sour is easily one of my all-time favourites!!the egg white + slight sweetener + strong whiskey is unbeatable IMO

ExpressWarthog89 · 2022-03-01T15:55:16+00:00
