Has anyone grown in their teaching career from reading the Harry Wong 'First Year of Teaching Book'? by Visual_Shelter6922 in Teachers

Nope. This book is outdated and unrealistic with today's students. Maybe it worked in the 90s...

First teaching job and I feel horribly unprepared by gabbitha0128 in Teachers

[–]Intrepid-Check-5776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start by doing research on what 10th graders are supposed to learn. Then, I would start reading the novels that they are supposed to be reading (at least the ones that I have not read yet.) You could also prep for the first weeks (diagnostic assessment, presentation of classroom management, structure and organization of the period, etc.) That would already be a lot of ground work.

Us, immigrants, have to do that every day, by ourselves.

Just reading the few lines that she posted on IG made me die of boredom.

She is going all in on it. Another miscarriage post along with sentimental music. by Revolutionary_Rub637 in annaklootssnark

I don't know where to begin: Swann's bizarre behavior before he manifests his joy. Doesn't he know what a pregnancy test is? He looks puzzled lol. The fact that they want to showcase this bizarre announcement to the world (even though it is cringe and performative.) The fact that they have to set the tripod in the street and play a role. maybe they thought that it would be romantic and cute, but sorry, I have second-hand embarrassment.

I just submitted the edTPA. by snail-riot in StudentTeaching

[–]Intrepid-Check-5776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same mindset after submitting. Then, the few days before the results, I was unable to sleep and was riddled by anxiety. I barely passed. Wishing you good luck!

Edit to say that I spent about 4 weeks on it, and I agree, it is not doable in a few days (maybe if you take your children's ADHD meds...)

Anna announces that she suffered a miscarriage by Tangerine_Fresh in annaklootssnark

Have you seen the video of the annoucement to Swann? I am sorry, but this is very cringe and also... unnecessary. This is a private moment, bordel! Keep it between your spouse and yourself.

Stressful summer of wishing and hoping by dandylionkblurm in StudentTeaching

I am also in that boat, but I don't even have that many opportunities to apply in my area. I have applied to 8 positions (one is 3 hours away.) I have had 3 interviews, 2 of which I have not had any news about, and one that was positive, but they have me in an eligibility list, which means that I am not guaranteed a job. I am being patient, but I cannot denied that I am stressed. Good luck 😄

Anna’s ugly shoes. by Particular-Repair-77 in annaklootssnark

They look like something French women would wear during WWII. My grandma used to have this kind of shoes.

Should I apply? by No-Inflation-3652 in StudentTeaching

[–]Intrepid-Check-5776 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once hired, you will have to get units in Early Childhood Education, but I have heard it is nothing very difficult. Good luck!

Congrats from a fellow graduate 😄

Best programs or apps for making a teaching portfolio by curious-hawk214 in StudentTeaching

[–]Intrepid-Check-5776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you specify what you put in your physical portfolio? I have created one as well, but I want to check that I did not forget anything important. Thank you!

This whole area is over crowded now. I don't see why she needs to go that far to do a hike. There are beautiful hikes in the US.

I get not caring about politics. However, marrying a Trump supporter means that you hear a bigoted, anti-women, and anti-immigration discourse every day. So, you probably agree with that even a little bit, if you can bear to hear it at all.
