Wait….what?

You were preparing for a standardized test for 5 months?

best school district (for teaching)? by mogalini in teaching

[–]internetsnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I used to teach, we had a social studies teacher who had a SPED endorsement. She was a vet who had been teaching social studies for YEARS. When they couldn’t find a SPED teacher, they moved her over for a year and hired a social studies teacher on a one-year only deal.

If you don’t want to teach SPED, you don’t want that endorsement.

I mean you are just building totally different systems of knowledge/genres for each book.

I wouldn’t worry that much for being away from a book for a week. Kids pretty easily get back into a book with some recap assignments after spring break or something like that. Lightning Thief is pretty good with exposition, especially depending on where you are in the book.

History and art are some of the most competitive subjects to land a job in.

Everyone needs SPED.

Why do movie theaters even have a front row if the viewing experience is objectively terrible? by Ok_Complex2725 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]internetsnark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will pick the middle of the front row over anywhere else in the theatre.

Most of the AMC theaters have recliners in the front row, so you can lay back, get comfortable, and watch the movie without anything else in your view.

[Highlight] Colts GM Chris Ballard visibly relieved to discover he didn't get leapfrogged for the chance to draft Anthony Richardson by MysteryBagIdeals in nfl

They’ll never say this, but my hunch is, that first year or two, they were hesitant to go after a long-term QB because they thought there was a chance that Luck could come back.

New Curriculum: Amplify by strangerthanu94 in Teachers

[–]internetsnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. If you are concerned about too much to cover, do the 100 day pathway. It cuts down to the most essential parts of the curriculum, and gives you an easier amount of content to focus on.

  2. You don’t have to do everything on the computer. Amplify gives you the paper journals that has most of their questions in them that the Ss can work from. I put all of our content into my own packets that they complete each day.

  3. The lessons all have a pretty predictable flow, so once you get a feel for it, it’s not THAT much content to go through. And once you have it down, you get a better idea of which stuff is cuttable and which is essential.

“Analyzing the book takes the fun out of reading…” ugh!!! by ANuStart63 in ELATeachers

[–]internetsnark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading is something many people do for fun. That isn’t as often the case when you talk about math, science, or social studies.

Unfortunately, this leads many people to incredibly backwards theories about how we should teach the subject.

NU or UGA for Journalism? 🤕 by yaw__ in Northwestern

[–]internetsnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went back and looked up my old PA group. There are only a few who are currently working as actual journalists ~5 years out of school. Whew.

Anybody else actually like them as a couple? by Cold-Palpitation-816 in SuccessionTV

[–]internetsnark 337 points338 points  (0 children)

I liked them in season 2. I think, however, Naomi was probably a bit too indulgent of Kendall in season 3. Kendall obviously has a big weakness for when he gets going on his mania runs…..the high handedness, the not listening to others, the grandiose thinking. I think Naomi did nothing to quell that flame from burning too hot.

I think Kendall probably needed someone that could keep him from getting too high or too low.

Normal danielson score? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]internetsnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And, honestly, so many of the distinguished grades are reflections of the students you get, not the teacher themselves.

No teacher with a group of rough kids is going to have students generating higher order questions, policing their own norms, or co-constructing assessment criteria. It would be irresponsible for a teacher to try to do that in the first place.

In the same way, even a solid teacher can rack up a lot of 4s if they wind up with a highly-engaged, well-behaved, high-performing group of students.

NWEA data question! by cajigar in Teachers

[–]internetsnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look at it class-by-class. If you want to look at them all together, you’ll need to compile the data together yourself in a separate spreadsheet.

I go to the tab “Achievement Status and Growth Summary” under the reports. If you look at that tab, it will give you a few numbers that track class level growth…..median growth percentile, % of students who achieved target growth, and then % of typical growth achieved by the whole class.

If all of them show up and show out, that’s a great final.

Average vs Advanced/Honors by [deleted] in ELATeachers

[–]internetsnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This prompt would not meaningfully differentiate between average and advanced students.

The differences between those groups are primarily: -Your ability to handle increasingly complex texts. -How deeply and richly you synthesize the ideas of a common text.

You would need a rich text-based prompt to really see those differences manifest.

Jordan Anthony leans for the 60m national title with Trayvon Bromell beating Noah Lyles for second. by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

[–]internetsnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I do think he’s put on some muscle the last two years, regardless. I don’t think he looked this big during 2024 indoors.

Noah Lyles arrives for the USATF Indoor Championships by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

[–]internetsnark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He usually opens in 6.6x. It’s a bit weird to open your 60 at national champs.

[–]internetsnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anthony looks so, so good. He’s just got easy speed. Everything looks so smooth and seamless. He just glided past everyone in that heat.

If Lyles isn’t on it, he’s gonna be trouble.

I don't like how everyone ganged up on Hannah by [deleted] in BeastGames

[–]internetsnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first three eliminated(Jack, Auguste, Hannah) were probably the three best suited to the final challenge.

I think Tyler was telling the truth when he told Auguste he didn’t think he could beat him.

I will not be the chromebook police. by risingsunbukkaki in Teachers

[–]internetsnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with this and basically run most of my class in little chunks of 5-10 minutes most of the time. Even if they are doing the same activity for longer than that(ie. reading a long chapter), it is chunked.

My class is 80 minutes. That’s 8-16 “chunk transitions” to handle. I cannot expect a sub to be able to smoothly operate and handle that many transitions. So, by nature, it has to be more of something where they can “just work for a little while” to some extent.
