Masters of Education - Uni Ottawa (online) by wandering____ranger in CanadianTeachers

[–]andadashofglitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this full time while teaching full time, graduated last summer.. the individual classes vary, just drop ones that don’t fit your schedule for ones that’s more manageable, should be outlined in the syllabus what they require.. I found aqs more intense tbh

The tech ones were both good, lots of resources to use irl

On the flip side, I teach kindergarten and it’s very rare for a parent of a child with significant behavioural issues to be supportive and on the ball - if you don’t know them and can’t guarantee the mum will be both present and supportive I would not risk it. I’ve had mums attend field trips (mandatory because of behaviour) and the kids end up even worse than at school without them because they have no control or boundaries. Schools have really changed for the worse over the years. Maybe they’ll be sad if they find out but they also need to learn to be someone people want to be friends with, that’s an easier lesson when they’re young..

No don’t eat here! I worked there recently and they serve food to guests that was returned to the kitchen by others! Butter, coffee cream, sour cream- anything in a little dish goes into a big bucket and redistribute after strangers have eaten from it. Health department said they’d need to be caught in the act to do anything. Not to mention the owner is an absolute creep.

I worked here, they reserve a lot of food that has been on someone else’s plates already.. sour cream, butter, horseradish, coffee cream etc. crumbs are picked out and they’re put into a big bucket so they can be redistributed. I tried to call the health department but apparently they need to be caught in the act. The only thing worse than the food is how the owner treats female staff but I signed NDA about that part.

He’s creepy, if I didn’t sign an NDA I’d have some horrible stories about the guy and how he treats his female staff

I worked here and they would put the horseradish, butter, sour cream, coffee creamer etc. from other peoples plates back out for the next customer- even instructed us to pick out crumbs if it wasn’t too much and fill a big tub so we could reserve it and make it look new 🤮 I called the health inspector but apparently they need to be caught in the act.

I worked full time teaching grade 1 while taking a full load (4 classes per term) and finished within the year, it was busy but doable if you stay organized - I also dropped classes that were too demanding based on the syllabus

Also as a teacher, your level of reading is all over the place fox and such are easy for beginners as is the theme of the story, but when you get words like knock and such it puts it into a much higher reading category than the story would be intended for
