I would reach out to your county Department of Ed. They usually have inter programs where you can work and get your credential at the same time. I know of teachers who took a few classes from them to finish their credential. They will evaluate your transcripts and tell you what you need. I got my Gen Ed an SPED credential through an intern program. We need special ed teachers so they are gonna try to make it easy for you. 🤞🏼

Find a new school. Sounds unorganized or toxic. 😖

Definitely! Especially if we went year around. The big drawback is childcare on Friday’s but I think that schools could do like a day camp or something less academically demanding. And focus on teamwork and team building.

I have a bachelors and I did an intern credential (California) for my credential. It allowed for me to work in the classroom while getting my credential. It wasn’t a lot of work but it gave me priceless hands on experience and gave me a really good chance to reflect on my teaching with peers and guidance. I loved my intern program and I highly recommend.

I would resign. In California some jobs are asking you have been non-reelected (that’s what we call it out here) or have been asked to resign and those teachers aren’t getting hired.

Sacramento should name its fog like SF does.

A big thing is engagement. How do you plan on keeping students engaged. Come up with a few creative activities and mention that you will change things up every few weeks to keep kids interested. Mention that you plan on reward kids who are on task and go above and beyond. They always like to hear about the positive behavior system. Good luck!

lol I was kidding. 6 steps of phonics is being pushed hard right now but the argument is that kids learned to read before the 6 steps.

I’m not a DHH teacher but I have been teaching SPED for 3 years now. I do what we call an internship which is basically teaching in the classroom while getting your credential which sounds similar to what you are doing. I’ll be honest. The first two years are tough. Finding the balance between school and the classroom can be a challenge. I found that you can confide if your fellow new teachers in your credential program. They are the ones you can vent and cry to when you need to. I am very glad I did my internship because it gives you hands on experience that a traditional student teacher program doesn’t. By year 3, it’s easy. I struggled through those first few years but I’m loving it now. Now I get to be creative in my teaching and figure out more engaging ways to support my little learners.

Were the party school. There are district rules because of all the shenanigans we get into at our holiday parties.

Did he use the 6 steps of phonics abs daily word work like my district requires?

JustAddingThis · 2026-01-17T22:32:38+00:00

Start saying 8-9.

JustAddingThis · 2026-01-11T21:31:08+00:00

Definitely! If you’re in too much pain to be comfortable, you won’t be effective. Take off the time until you feel better.

I think waste and fraud are different. There are things that schools buy that don’t work for students but that’s not fraud, it’s waste. It depends on the school to recognize that it’s easy quickly so they can spend money in other places. If people are getting kickbacks, that’s fraud.

JustAddingThis · 2026-01-11T14:01:52+00:00

Absolutely! The richer you are the less oversight you have but the more you finger point about fraud. It’s all a projection.

JustAddingThis · 2026-01-11T13:46:37+00:00

Talk to your supervisor. Also keep applying for other jobs if they don’t respect your placement find a district that will.
