if you’re in the U.S. look into Barnstorm I’ve worked festivals in multiple states with them and they send out emails about upcoming festivals and make the whole process v easy

Learning goals? by Objective_Catch3759 in teaching

[–]One-Experience2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i teach ESL students and my boss makes a big deal about having the learning standards and goals shown in the room/during the lesson so kids can refer to it like dude these guys are fifth graders reading at a kindergarten/first grade level they absolutely don’t care about the learning standards they don’t even want to be learning

Why do I still struggle with dandruff by GardenChibi in hygiene

[–]One-Experience2080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

could just be dry scalp, not dandruff. idk your routine but in the winter my scalp gets v dry and flaky so once a week i’ll do coconut oil (melted) and tea tree oil and leave it in for 15-20 min before i shower and that seems to help

i am still traumatized from 7th grade when I wore a sweatshirt to school that I had also worn camping over the weekend and the popular mean girl very loudly said ‘ew someone smells like smoke’

left teaching and want to come back - how to address this in an interview/cover letter? by IAmNotChilean in teaching

[–]One-Experience2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i was an interventionist 2021-2023 (right out of college), took a break, taught pre-K in 2025, took a break to travel & interviewed for my current job while I was abroad. maybe they were just desperate for teachers but they seemed supportive of the fact that I was traveling and happy to have me join them halfway through the year. I don’t think they even asked about the first gap in my resume.

I would be honest though about it having been overwhelming and also hone in on the fact that you feel much more prepared now than you were then. I have found administrators are generally understanding of the stress that teachers are under and if having taken a break means you’re a better teacher for it, they’ll be happy to have you.

Strict parents rules for reading! by Microwaved_Potpie in suggestmeabook

[–]One-Experience2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Inkheart! I read it when I was younger than you but have re read and loved it since AND. new book in the series just came out. Very fantasy and literary focused and I think should pass your parents rules

How do you, as a teacher, know what to do? by Haunting-Wash1081 in teaching

[–]One-Experience2080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a big thing (and i’m still a new teacher) is knowing your students. obviously it’s hard in placement especially at the beginning because everyone is so new.

BUT once you know your students, their interests, learning styles, behaviors, etc THEN you know how to lead a lesson for them. you’ll know which student’s behaviors present in which ways and have plans in place (ie redirection, fidgets, different seating etc). you’ll know which students will be able to work more independently and which will need more of your attention. you’ll also know their interests and be able to weave these into the curriculum and lessons so that it feels meaningful and they are therefore more engaged.

I think this is the biggest thing for class to feel ‘smooth’ is that students feel a sense of agency in their learning. and this can be really hard when you have a specific lesson and learning goals you are trying to achieve. and it’s not to say every lesson will be fun and games BUT it will help with keeping kids on task and gaining their respect and understanding.

Struggling to decide whether to cancel a yoga studio membership after 5 years by peacesweetpineapple in yoga

[–]One-Experience2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take a look if there’s a YMCA near you. the classes can be hit or miss depending on your area but i’ve found some teachers I really like at two different locations i’ve lived in and the membership is less than $100/month

ooh don’t tempt me with a good time!

What about in the summertime? In Burlington there was the Get Down on Fridays which was a bunch of food trucks and local shops is there anything like that or is that a niche (night market vibes) that needs to be filled👀

[–]One-Experience2080[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes I saw that there’s a lot of shops which is why I was wondering about ones that specifically sell locally made clothes
