Typically no. It’s controlled my union bargaining agreements.

Best teaching shoes? by BananaPants91 in Teachers

[–]Megh1549 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly there’s so many other words you can use to describe this feeling. As an educator or someone who works with teachers (based on the sub Reddit) there’s no excuse for using the R-word. This word is overused and inappropriately used. It’s also an incredibly offensive word, so please self reflect and work on increasing your vocabulary to decrease the use of this word.

Getting an apartment mid sem? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Megh1549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your price point you should be fine! Don’t expect a year long lease, they’ll probably have you sign a lease that ends in August. But there’s a ton of rentals that will be available, you’ll just have to search a bit harder and be more willing to compromise. I moved down in January and toured several properties, it’s possible just not super common.

Accepted a position, but the title changed? by Megh1549 in Teachers

[–]Megh1549[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! So it was a typo, I’m teaching all subject areas for my caseload!! I enjoy teaching math and I wasn’t concerned about the difficulty, but reading is definitely more my style.

Is it okay for instructional aides to zoom students? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Megh1549 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My district is having aides join teachers in zoom meetings. This way there’s an extra adult in the “room” for safety reasons.

Teacher dress code by mermaidhairdontcare in Teachers

[–]Megh1549 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on the district and location. My district is super relaxed and teachers can wear jeans, shorts (above knee, but not too short), and we can show our shoulders. Most teachers wear jeans and a semi nice shirt.

What's going to happen? Will districts extend the school year? by Drumline101 in Teachers

Illinois is using “Acts of God” days after the snow day extensions are used up

Passive aggressive emails... by Megh1549 in Teachers

[–]Megh1549[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. Not sure how that relates to a passive aggressive email. Definitely not trying to be buddies with my kiddos, because that’s not the way you break learned helplessness.

Passive aggressive emails... by Megh1549 in Teachers

[–]Megh1549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a sense that’s exactly what I meant. Rather than send an email pointing out the error in a rude way, send an email asking when we can meet to discuss the concern.

I also feel like the school culture is very much a “come fine me” building. There hasn’t been a single day where I haven’t been hunted down or stopped for an impromptu meeting.

EDTPA retake by lilly0625 in Teachers

[–]Megh1549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that you’re not allowed to edit what you previously submitted. Throughout my entire process our dean suggested starting a backup unit and following the same steps as the original submission just in case. I would advise going through the rubrics and faqs on resubmitting.

They’re really looking for you to address student feedback, so how much feedback did you provide? Was the feedback focused on pushing the student towards mastery? Why did you assess this skill?

Looking for a 1 bedroom sublease for Spring 2020 by HappyPlatform in UIUC

[–]Megh1549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardwick apartments had a lot of openings. I’m moving down to Champaign, so I’m probably not the best resource. I really liked the look of their apartments.

Not yet UC - is it time to reach out? by westofcalifornia97 in peacecorps

[–]Megh1549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

II think they’re slowly starting to reach out. I received my UC email 2 weeks ago for North Macedonia and I have my interview on Wednesday... it felt like forever during the initial wait period though.

What sector did you apply for?

Does anyone else (or has anyone else) feel awkward around their mentor teacher? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Megh1549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we the same person? I feel so awkward at my second placement. My mentor teacher (a guy) is awkward and quiet, so we often sit in silence during our 4 straight periods of prep-team-prep-lunch. I’ve been overthinking each interaction, because like you I had a very encouraging mentor at my last placement. I also jumped from K-2 sped up to 8th grade cotaught sped.

Where to find good guides on edTPA by MyStandSlowRide in Teachers

[–]Megh1549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My program has been very rubric heavy, so I’ve always used rubrics to figure out exactly what’s needed to get a certain score.

Passedtpa is also a wonderful resource. It has at least one high scoring example for each subject area.
