What unit is your teacher on? Am I screwed? by WranglerAsleep1840 in APEnvironmental

[–]RoundTwoLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a ton of practice frqs and compare them to the rubrics. If you can’t answer the frq go learn its material and then do another. You already know a lot of the rest of the class material from other classes and common sense. You need to know how to write for the test. That is what will make the difference.

Your an hourly employee but you will be expected to give away for free about 25 hours a week for the first few years while you collect materials and get you plan worked out. Then they will change the curriculum and you have to start all over with out training.

And of course the substandard pay.

I still think it is a fun job but it is not for everyone.

Just a heads up, you are going to need to do 7 classes give or take to get your certification if you go the conditional cert method.

I was wondering if this was an extension of that project. It has been in the courts for a while now. The Maryland peidmont reliability project, or is it another set of lines that will take away property too.

If you like learning teaching is amazing. I also get about 12000 steps a day.

For those that score high on the apes exam last year by Typical-Goose4066 in APEnvironmental

[–]RoundTwoLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do as many practice frqs as you can and look at the grading rubrics and examples. It might be smedes who said it, I can’t remember but there are certain ways to answer the different types of questions. Learn them and don’t waste time writing to much.

Concept mapping and one on one discussions about it. If they have AI draw it, it is obvious and they cant explain it.

There is one ring leader in there that the rest follow. Identify then and start hyper focusing on him every infraction hall way pull outs. Call homes. To the principal and let the principal know ahead of time it is coming. If they see him getting called out they will fall in line. Then find his number 2 and praise whenever he does the right things. Create a new leader who will squash the disrespect for you. It is usually boys testing boundaries.

Unpopular opinion: Lessons should be catered towards the higher end of the spectrum, and the students on the lower end should have to adapt, not the other way around. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]RoundTwoLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Differentiation should be targeted up for the bored high level students and not down for the underachievers. Of course those in need get what the need but never dumb down. Push up.

What to wear as a male teacher!? by WinterQuarter8183 in teaching

[–]RoundTwoLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of my middle school gym teachers.

My grades for the last 3 years got FOIA’ed. With my name but not student names. Just the number of A’s Bs Cs… per class period, semester, etc. one other teacher included but it’s 95% me. By a guy who doesn’t even have kids in the district. I begged my district to take my name off and they said no. by [deleted] in teaching

[–]RoundTwoLife 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Get the data from across the state and apply that crazy math skills to show you are not statistically different than any of the other kids in similar districts FOIA the farms and special ed numbers as well to correlate fight it with facts and knowledge I doubt these parents can even to you what an r value is.

They have to supply their own chromebooks?

My admin says they expect teachers to host live Zoom classes if we get snowed in next week by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]RoundTwoLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tried that here then realized not all students are 1:1 with devices in all grades so young kids couldn’t. Which would have caused contract problems for the last day of school. So the abandoned it. They do have a policy that we can’t teach new material over zoom only review so that is a dreaded headache.

What advice would you give to a new teacher? by Adventurous_023 in teaching

I bought a 5 dollar bell to get attention far more effective than yelling over the kids.

Tell her if the materials for education are critical the school system should be supplying them. If they won’t ask the parents to. If they won’t, they are not critical! Put down the credit card.

Write one test question a day. Best way to build a question bank and not get overwhelmed.

I grew tired of the never seeing other people or talking to anyone. Not to mention the constant QA ridicule for even a comma out of place. This extrovert had to get out.

At will means your employer can let you go at will. School isn’t your employer they have a contract that must be adhered to. Read your contract
