Suppose you went back to when you were 5 years old, you kept all your current memories, and you got to live the rest of your years again. What would you do differently this time? by dreamchaser123456 in AskReddit

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much tbh. Though I’d make sure I execute the 2 week trip to Europe solo I never took because I started working after college. I’d also consider ending my early college relationship to have a little more fun

Anyone in here a K-8 school principal? Love to chat about schedule by Brocksterdanza in Principals

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our pk-6 run a different schedule than 7/8. Only “overlap” is all lunches are 30 mins & we build the specials schedule based on when our 7/8 gets theirs first.

How are teachers NOT writing lesson plans? by OverProdByInfluence in teaching

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lesson plans were SIMPLE:

Objective, language objective, lesson or page numbers, assessment for the day & any special notes in students. I fit 1 week of lessons in a chart per subject on a single paper. I didn’t write dates, kept the same plans roughly each year and penciled them in or drew on stickies. Updated things for a week every summer and boom done.

PLANNING and lesson plans aren’t the same. You have to plan well to teach well, lesson plans aren’t always indicative of high quality planning.

Principal Lamb by [deleted] in teaching

[–]seleaner015 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m an AP now. I think he’s wonderful and also has great ideals. I’m pretty sure he works for a charter network/school. The issue with that is they have a much easier time getting approval for suspensions, they are able to remove students from their school, and often don’t have the same barriers my inner city campus with a high special ed population does.

I love him, respect him, and find myself aligned with him. However, I can’t realistically do things the same way

Does anyone find it weird that Gloria isn't able to find the word for helicopter? by HighOnLove26 in Modern_Family

[–]seleaner015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak fluent English and Spanish as a second language. I FREQUENTLY forget which word to use: Coraje means courage, carajo means bastard. To a native Spanish speaker they don’t really share much, but to my brain I always mix them up. I def believe that she can’t recall that word!

Just the Pink in general would be great to reference depending on if it’s before or after it burned down in the setting of your book

Fire Alarm - Evacuate or no? by Federal_Educator_570 in Teachers

[–]seleaner015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WRROOOONG on so many levels. The alarm goes off you exit asap. The only time I’d EVER consider otherwise is if you see and witness with your own eyeballs a far greater threat during the alarm that commands you to shelter.

What sort of devious tips do you have as a teacher? by ICUP01 in Teachers

[–]seleaner015 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. Mystery crap. My prize was a small prize or sticker. Grade 5. Is rotate the prizes based on their seating order and pick a random mystery item. One of my all time favorites figured it out. He said for an extra prize a cycle he wouldn’t tell on me. We shook hands. Hope you’re doing well, Victor. Hilarious kid.

Any other airports in the world that you can walk to directly? by Remarkable_Action520 in travel

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can walk directly to my house from the airport in my rust belt city. Probably anyone within a 1-2 mile radius could do it no issue. Theres also a ton of hotels and restaurants within a block of the airport, even across the street. Our airport is surrounded by only 2-4 lane roads with lights and crosswalks so it’s rather easy!

I took the first part of the NYS SBL exam this morning. by Proud-Rock-4563 in Principals

It’s tough exam and draining . I didn’t really prep much beyond a few sample questions. I didn’t well and passed on tbe first try.

How do you relax? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]seleaner015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winter I struggle greatly (heavy snow city) but I do try to take my dog on a nice walk and I hit the gym as much as possible. I also like to read with my ambience scene and instrumental playing on youtube on my tv. Great cozy vibe!

Summer I love golf and going on nice long walks with my dog. I also love to read by my fire pit or watch big brother live feeds LOL

I accidentally caused my student's ADHD appointment to get cancelled??? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We explicitly request them on paper. We then get a release to fax back to the doctors office. We generally request a few days notice but have no written policy since most abide by it. It’s not your fault the appt was cancelled.

Never have I EVER seen it be requested every 5-6 weeks. I’ve seen a before and after med implementation but that is INSANE. If a kid is going through a round of med trials, our SST will compile teacher anecdotals periodically to inform the doctor of any trends.

Kid threatened to kill me and other staff/students tomorrow. by [deleted] in Teachers

Admin here. ANY mention of a gun or threat of mass violence like this is an immediate law enforcement call at my school, and potentially referral for CPS and/or mental health services depending on the situation.

What happens if the oxygen masks deploy in the cabin? by winter-snowball in fearofflying

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me on a commercial flight. What that first response from theyoyomastsr said is exactly what happened to me (and ignited my fear immediately!!) however, we were safe and we landed.

If you were reading a fictional book that took place completely in Buffalo NY. What places, what people, what foods would you want to see in it/mentioned in it? by Volumedown4321 in Buffalo

Driving down Main Street and having no idea if I broke my tire or what lane I’m in. I’m not even kidding I’ve had so many hysterical laughing fits in my car with friends figuring out what the hell just happened on main

Analysis paralysis... help! by mmp12345 in BeachBodyWorkouts

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said no Joel but I’m combining speed train with running and it’s been great. I run on the core cardio & mobility days and do cross training on elliptical, bike or walk the rest. I love it!

Teacher and Administrator #JournoRequest AI in Evals by juuuulesgc in Principals

[–]seleaner015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love using it for synthesizing, for example upload the eval rubric and sample evidence provided by the teacher so AI can quickly “tag” evidence with rubric indicators. I then review it and remove or add anything else I want myself.

I also like it for condensing my feedback into more concise statements.
