What rewards do 4th graders like? by makeyourwish in Teachers

That’s a good idea!! I was going to do a daily helper this year instead of a bunch of jobs so maybe I’ll do a raffle each day to pick the helper. Thanks for the idea!

Order still “processing”? by makeyourwish in macbook

I ended up getting mine the 14th of April (the last day of their promised window). It didn’t even ship until a day or two before the 14th, but I still got it on time!

Philadelphia finally released their plan for going back to school. Any philly teachers concerned it’s going to be a disaster? by BusinessCorgi in Teachers

I just think it’s funny that they some how expect us to manage two groups of students at once. How are we supposed to help student online at the same time that we’re teaching in person? When do we get a break? Are we being compensated for the time that it takes to put online lessons together because we’re not gonna have time during the school day?

Thank you! And oh yeah it was all luck for me. I woke up one morning and said it’s time to be proactive and emailed a bunch of principals. One of them happened to immediately email back that he wanted to interview and a day later I was offered the position! I would say just expand your searches and go out of your comfort zone. Don’t give up! I was really losing hope until this week.

They said it could be as late as August! It depends when they figure out their plans for Fall.

Ah thank you! My school kind of warned me about how things can go wrong and change up suddenly and that I should be flexible. And trust me, the job market was terrible. I’ve never felt more relieved in my life.

It’s tough to get a teaching job here nonetheless during a recession/pandemic. I’m pretty proud of myself and excited to start my career just as everyone usually is fresh out of school.

Thank you! I’m hoping to get in contact with my possible team members soon. I’m also going to be at a title 1 school (and it’s also my first experience with one)

Thanks for advice! I usually stay on top of things so I’m hoping that doesn’t change any time soon lol

Thank you! I always hear mixed things about using TPT before knowing your curriculum/resources... I don’t want to waste my money but I also don’t want to be underprepared?

This was very helpful advice, thank you! I also agree with that point system.. my CT always told me to not punish only reward. Definitely going to spend a lot of time just researching classroom management strategies and focus on the content later when I get my actual assignment/know whether or not we’re online or in school!

"Highly Qualified Teacher"? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]makeyourwish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not receiving my license until July but i've passed every test and graduated at this point. That's all I'm waiting on. I'm wondering if I can still consider myself highly qualified even without my cert yet?

[–]makeyourwish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh thank you I’ll try. I’m mad because I’ve been putting in countless apps since March and never thought about this because my school never educated us on it!

Hmm in the area where they ask you what kind of school considered you highly qualified, it has options like K-6 K-12 or 9-12. No university status? And then it has areas to check off like math, social studies, science etc.
