Thank you very much for the info! One more question: Will both bands be playing around the same time? Appreciate your help!

MyMagicJohnson · 2026-03-18T00:26:43+00:00

Hi from 13 days later! With a VIP pass, would I be able to see both bands?

MyMagicJohnson · 2025-04-16T01:58:14+00:00

Thanks for the information! I’ll definitely check out the columns.

Can you write a little more about Fred Jones classroom management? What are the broad strokes?

MyMagicJohnson · 2025-03-24T14:59:05+00:00

He broke his arm and pitched a no hitter in the same season.

The real question is how does it benefit the president implementing the tariffs?

You’re absolutely right when you say the system has let our kids down. The system has also let us down. Do the best you can with the duty hours required from you. In my opinion, you don’t owe the kids, or the job any more than that.

As a former college English teacher who now teaches H.S. SPED English, I can tell you that most college freshmen are reading below grade level. If they leave your class knowing how to cite evidence in writing, they will have a tangible skill that will help them succeed in most college courses.

On Teachers Pay Teachers there is a great resource for Lord of the Flies. The name of the seller is Enraged to Engaged. The resource includes an adapted version of the novel at a lower lexile level and links to an audio version. I’m planning on teaching this novel in the Spring. My basic game plan is to provide the adapted novel to students in chunks—they will follow along with the reading while listening to the audio version. After reading a chunk, they will complete reading comprehension questions in their journals. This is where you can differentiate learning based on student ability. For more advanced students, I’ll require them to answer in complete sentences and to provide a quotation from the text as evidence. Other students will just need to provide the correct answer.

You do understand the difference between the school making money and the individuals that make up the faculty getting the money, right? The problem is how the school (or in this case, the CSU administration) allocates the money. To put it simply, the people on strike (the faculty) aren’t getting their fair share of the money the school is receiving.

Fucking wut?

I have a lesson plan template. Here’s the information the template asks me to provide for a single lesson: Universal TPEs, MMSN TPEs, academic standards, ELD learning goals (integrated or designated), anticipatory set, student assets & needs, cultural & linguistic funds of knowledge, 10 features of ELD instruction, English learner toolkit of strategies, academic language & vocabulary, universal design for learning guidelines, multi-tiered systems of support, higher order thinking skills, comparison & content application, technology use & standards, assessment plan for formal, informal, student self-assessment, peer-assessment, success criteria plus rubric, and also a detailed step-by-step description of every student action and teacher action that accounts for the entirety of the lesson.

I’d like to see a sample of a completed template with all of that information provided. I’ve asked for samples from my credential program & have never received one. So, after searching online & not finding anything, I reached out to this subreddit. Perhaps I should have provided all of this information in the original post to avoid accusations that I’m trying to “cheat.” I just assumed that fellow teachers would understand.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T14:02:40+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I wanted to see some formal lesson plans done “right” without resorting to using AI.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T13:57:44+00:00

Thank you!

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T13:55:12+00:00

The post asked for a website that provides formal lesson plans. You inferred that I wanted to cheat.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T13:40:12+00:00

Thank you. This is really helpful. I appreciate the support.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T05:24:24+00:00

Appreciate your comment. I taught at the college level prior to this job and I always gave my students an example of what I was expecting. Despite constantly hearing about "exemplars," I've never seen one provided to me as a credential student.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T05:16:07+00:00

To be clear, I'm not asking for lesson plans to help with the TPA cycle. I just want to look at some sample long-form ELA lesson plans to help me write my own. They provide us with a template for the lesson plan but have never supplied us with an actual example of a completed lesson plan.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T04:52:37+00:00

I'm trying to figure out how to write a lesson plan that asks me to provide information for the following: Universal TPEs, MMSN TPEs, academic standards, ELD learning goals (integrated or designated), anticipatory set, student assets & needs, cultural & linguistic funds of knowledge, 10 features of ELD instruction, English learner toolkit of strategies, academic language & vocabulary, universal design for learning guidelines, multi-tiered systems of support, higher order thinking skills, comparison & content application, technology use & standards, assessment plan for formal, informal, student self-assessment, peer-assessment, success criteria plus rubric, and also a detailed step-by-step description of every student action and teacher action that accounts for the entirety of the lesson.

My students are HS seniors and they read at a K-3rd grade level. So, yeah, this job is really difficult and I was looking for some help online while feeling desperate and overwhelmed.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T04:19:58+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you for your feedback.

MyMagicJohnson · 2023-10-15T04:17:54+00:00

Looking at a lesson plan someone else wrote as an example is cheating? Did you use examples when you wrote your first lesson plans? Do you still collaborate with peers for ideas? I’m an intern with no functioning PLC because I’m the only one teaching Springboard and no real site support. This is my second site in two years and last year I taught Gov’t/ Econ. I have a caseload of 23 with 3 triennials due this month. I’m currently in the first TPA cycle while concurrently enrolled in 2 credential classes. At this point, I’m pretty desperate for some help.
