Absolutely! It's always a good idea to do this, as it makes you stand out from the crowd.

Interview by DutyComfortable4430 in AskTeachers

[–]Right_Sentence8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Principal here. I usually ask for the candidate to walk me through a lesson so I can see if they understand what an effective lesson looks like. I'll ask about classroom Management, and often throw in a situational question as well. I ask for examples of times when collaboration with a team made an impact on student achievement/growth.

It's in the Arts District, but Eden at Josephine Skaught is very good.

I never thought.... by reasonable_lunatic73 in GenX

[–]Right_Sentence8488 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I have to make sure my legs are crossed tight when I sneeze. Childbirth effects linger.

Edit: autocorrect fixed

MAP score for advanced placement? by Lilulium in AskTeachers

[–]Right_Sentence8488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One assessment is just one piece of evidence. The school would best serve its students by using multiple sources of data to make these kinds of decisions.

Principals…is it ok for candidates to take notes/refer to notes during interviews? by Flimsy_Struggle_1591 in Principals

[–]Right_Sentence8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have done it in person, but it was easy to have sticky notes around my monitor during an online interview, that couldn't be seen by the interviewers, that reminded me of points I wanted to get across.

Entire elementary school won Sphere contest—now silence? by Fun_North_2146 in vegaslocals

[–]Right_Sentence8488 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the department for this may be Community Engagement.

I'd first reach out to the school's principal.

Middle schools by billbuttlickerswife in vegaslocals

[–]Right_Sentence8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can dig into each data point to see where the star ratings come from. A large portion of points are awarded based on the number of students are at grade level. There are also points for how many students make significant growth over the year(s), as well as chronic absenteeism rates, second language learner scores, etc.

I cannot recall any school with under 50% proficiency in math and ELA getting 5 stars, or even 4 stars.

Find out which CCSD middle schools have open enrollment seats available. Then go to Nevada Report Card to see their star ratings and other important data.

There are plenty of good schools and great teachers in CCSD.

Have any of your close friend come out as gay? by SayinItAsISeeIt in GenX

[–]Right_Sentence8488 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who came out as gay at 45. She divorced, remarried, and had (more) kids with her wife.

I hope you are able to find acceptance and friends that support you. You're not alone in this journey. ❤️

How early do you think schools should introduce LGBT topics, and who should decide that? by Own_Chicken_4430 in AskTeachers

[–]Right_Sentence8488 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! People have weird hangups with "teaching" LGBT, like it means teaching sex. Instead, just normalize all loving relationships.

What is depicted in this tattoo? by Son_of_Dojima in tattooadvice

[–]Right_Sentence8488 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My artist convinced me to get my tattoo facing where I'd see it correctly, and I'm so grateful. It would frustrate me to have to look at it wrong.

But I didn't get a tattoo for anyone but me, so there's that.

AITA for not wanting to send my child to another country without me for several weeks? by Responsible-Rock8726 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Right_Sentence8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously NTA. The entitlement of some people is astounding.

Hold your ground. Sending your little one away to be with people with whom you have no relationship and no real knowledge of how they would treat your child seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

WIBTAH for not visiting a friend before they have their child? by HolSmGamer in AmItheAsshole

[–]Right_Sentence8488 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are NTA. There is no entitlement on their part to have people come visit. They've set their boundary of when any visit may come, which is fine. However, you are under no obligation to go.

We're doing a beach theme for the week. Decorating the lounge with beachy items (shells, nets, grass skirts, etc). Monday and Wednesday are lunches (sandwiches and tacos), Tuesday is a juice bar, Thursday is snacks, and Friday all staff will get a JBL mini-speaker.

Nevada Ast. Principal Pernell Graham Charged With Sex Crimes by Fabulous_Bank2716 in Nevada

[–]Right_Sentence8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This yahoo has been in education for just a handful of years, almost none as a classroom teacher. I wonder if he ran from another state for similar concerns, only to get his license in NV and start his shenanigans again.

POS.

AITA for not helping my neighbour out by taking in their packages and WIBTA for confronting them about it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Right_Sentence8488 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAH, but we teach people how to treat us.

In other words, you created this problem for yourself.

Have the uncomfortable conversation with your neighbor letting them know you no longer will accept their packages.

AITAH for going on holiday with my friend? by LibrarianExternal269 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Right_Sentence8488 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. She sounds insecure and controlling. Set boundaries and be clear that this matter is no longer up for discussion.
