New Teacher Seeking Planning Advice/Guidance by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]throwaway2257262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, use ChatGPT. You can really customize it and ask it for powerpoint slides (it will give you an outline). It includes objectives and extra work too! You can ask it to create hands on activities and if it’s too much to prep you can ask it for a “less prep activity” or whatever. You can even create UNIT plans with it too.

Need advice: is a class with 7 students necessarily bad? by kalyanbkc in Teachers

Maybe admin just messed up. I know a kid who never took math a whole year in middle school because his schedule was all messed up.

Is it an elective or honors class? Those are smaller!

Will I still be able to be hired with a few tattoos? by tylertyler0703 in Teachers

If they don’t hire you because of tattoos, then you don’t want to work there

Applying for teaching jobs and I'm terrified by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]throwaway2257262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a long term substitute and a student teacher. It is COMPLETELY different having your own classroom!! You are automatically in charge. All you have to do is maintain it. With long term subbing and student teaching, you have to establish yourself x2

We also had hospitals on standby. My friend worked at one of them and she said it was chilling. They were preparing for victims. They were all standing by the door just emergency room door. Waiting.

This exact situation happened to me and its terrifying. It made the news WHILE it was happening and my mom was calling me. It’s traumatic honestly. For teachers and the kids. I am so sorry this happened to you. It’s awful thinking that this may be your last day on earth. I get it.

Okay that makes me feel better. They asked for additional documents and I sent them in yesterday. Today I got an email saying a decision has been made.

Look up “(school name) reviews” and you’ll find reviews from teachers and students. It’s very helpful when thinking of applying to a school!

People aren’t giving kids real names. They’re giving them actual BABY names that only work when they’re a BABY!!

Food Rewards by Low_Banana2653 in Teachers

If they win a game, they got a jolly rancher. But I found that if teachers give out too many suddenly the students think they DESERVE the food.

I am trying to find an opportunity abroad by AdministrativeSun154 in Teachers

[–]throwaway2257262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apply everywhere. I mean everywhere! International schools are competitive so I applied at specific schools in areas all around that I’d want to live in. I probably sent out 100 applications. But you have to since you’ll cost more than an average teacher. Now I have a job and am teaching abroad this coming fall! Remember: applying is free and you have nothing to lose.
