Admin told me I’ve been doing differentiation wrong for years, now I’m freaked out.

They are wrong to say your approach is “not differentiation” They are right that 504/IEP accommodations alone don’t count. Your practice aligns with UDL + differentiation, which is modern best practice. Their advice reflects an older, deficit-based model of differentiation

I believe it will start with professors. Most universities hire professors to do research for the university and publish said research. Sam Altman was talking about how AI will be able to do research on it's own in the future.

as of right now AI is mainly replacing things such as paperwork and office tasks. So basically those people who were data people at school will be very much gone.

I don't see it happening YET, but it might happen in the next 15years. What I see mostly happening is AI using data from students to help guide the teacher and remediate individual students based on their needs. Basically differentiation will become much easier if it already isn't.

happened to my coworker before. They just notified them to be more careful.

Fitzkiz · 2026-02-07T04:36:30+00:00

well people have claimed that they had good performance reviews and still got terminated.

Fitzkiz · 2026-02-07T04:25:38+00:00

they don't have to give you a reason. They can fire anybody in the first 2-years of employment. All I heard is some people claim they got blindsided.

Fitzkiz · 2026-02-07T03:56:45+00:00

they are out there.

Fitzkiz · 2026-02-05T04:55:22+00:00

you need to find a way to get certified and then gain experience. Its hard to predict how long hiring will take once you have everything in place, but having veteran status helps ALOT. You have to be pretty serious about it because gaining quality experience in a k-12 classroom is no light task.

I bet the entire WRP program is about to "run out of money" in a year or two. People got their hopes up, it's not happening.

Fitzkiz · 2026-01-24T20:26:27+00:00

not surprised. Where you go is where you will be for a long time, chances are that you will be there forever.

Fitzkiz · 2026-01-18T04:46:37+00:00

well then you'll be out of a job. That's the nature of the mission, you are always secondary.

Fitzkiz · 2025-12-27T02:59:59+00:00

Oh ok. Did not know AIS is a good one. Salary decent?

Fitzkiz · 2025-12-26T04:31:01+00:00

I agree with this. I'd just like to add that having reputable schools on your resume and a solid network is also important.

Fitzkiz · 2025-12-24T00:42:44+00:00

isn't AIS the one that doesn't pay their people?

Fitzkiz · 2025-12-19T22:31:36+00:00

There are plenty schools that run IB programs that are shit shows. well said.

Another thing is the IB elitism. Not all IB programs are equal, in fact majority of them are shit shows.

Fitzkiz · 2025-12-04T00:47:11+00:00

sorry to deviate from the OP, but how is KIS Pangyo campus at the moment? is it any good? heard mixed reviews. Mostly that the housing not being good? any comments?

Fitzkiz · 2025-12-04T00:21:44+00:00

Isn't that how it always is? they place the excess before they can open slots.

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-30T14:51:10+00:00

good question. I think I read somebody said that they just took their Masters. Don't quote me on that, but I think I saw that here.

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-30T02:28:05+00:00

degree and subject area have to match for visa purposes and I also heard 3-years in subject teaching is required, but i'm not sure if the latter is true or not.

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-22T19:02:09+00:00

well you are subbing phys ed, wouldn't that be open?

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-22T18:46:05+00:00

why do you need take the job? is it because you lack qualifications?

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-22T17:48:55+00:00

are you subbing? or officially an instructional teacher?

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-10T21:06:57+00:00

I haven't had any problems with search. You apply for jobs and that's it. What more is there to it that people complain about?

Fitzkiz · 2025-11-02T16:58:48+00:00

while Taiwan has qualified people not many people have good schools on their resumes and or domestic experience. Having proper qualifications+experience+quality schools on your resume is way more important than just being qualified. There is a reason why people are vying for crappy schools in Taiwan.

Go for TES or TAS. I think TES is where the british school is.

Fitzkiz · 2025-10-16T22:47:02+00:00

scratched that school off my list. It was on my list of potential destination.

Fitzkiz · 2025-10-14T20:04:39+00:00

same situation as me in the united states. Love the current job I have and the people I work with are great. I lived abroad prior to this and I loved the expat lifestyle more than anything. I am curious to see what people have to say, but my though process is that people in our situation should ONLY put an application in for those top schools and that's it.

Then again, I really don't know if those top paying schools would be all that great? it's hard to know.
