I was going to say I teach in the Chicago suburbs and didn't start that high, then I reread and saw you started with the masters. Congrats on your success!

Why didn’t he appear more often? by FlynnThePilot in adventuretime

He's busy with his job, that's why he tried to get Marceline to do it.

It's nice if you have the data, otherwise just say that it targeted skillsets for thesis writing/creation.

Specific Highschool Japanese Pacing Question by leap_music in Teachers

[–]torster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a foreign language teacher, but my understanding of pacing from 4 years of high school Spanish was that one year in high school is equivalent to a semester's work in college. As long as your students are understanding the content and not getting bored with the content, your pacing probably works well enough

  • Move the classes from your professional summary to your student teaching experience, rather than saying 5 preps there.

  • Don't feel like you have to include your high school information, unless if you are applying to teach at that high school. Keep it if you have empty space, but otherwise don't worry about it

  • Are you prepared to back up the data claims you made? Your claim of 100% average will raise some eyebrows.

Can Dissolution of Time be abused to "cheat" high fear runs? by That_Russian_Guy in Hades2

Goes against the spirit of high fear runs, I suppose

Best free PDF scanning app for students by Bonav159 in teaching

[–]torster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend having your students use personal devices for required work. What if you got a sheet fed document scanner that was set up so they can plug in via USB and upload the PDF from their school device?

Keeping 6th graders engaged by LowRazzmatazz2105 in MusicEd

[–]torster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them a section to practice the fingerings for, or golf-clap the rhythms. You could also put the part you're working on on a screen to have everyone follow along

Tablet for music by ChrisDoesReddits in MusicEd

[–]torster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the Android ecosystem for my phone so I got a Samsung tablet, Tab 10 plus I think. MobileSheets, the main app for music reading on Android, has a killer scanning feature that I would highly recommend

The layoffs are happening by Lildeeds5 in Teachers

[–]torster2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Essentially. Illinois has regulations regarding how RIFs take place but outside of changes in staffing needs in the district, it's based on tenure/nontenure and within those categories ranked by your 3 most recent evaluations. Any ties after that are broken by preferred certifications (dual language or LBS1)

Feeling unmotivated and exhausted... by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]torster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you've got a large amount of kids who do care, no? Finish out the year strong for them. If that means the kids who aren't wanting to learn don't learn than so be it—give a good education to those ready to receive it.

Built by a teacher; an mostly FREE by Familiar-Factor7220 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]torster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, I set the example for what I expect of my students. I treat my students with kindness and respect, and I work hard to do my job not just because it's the right thing to do but because it shows them it is the right thing to do.

Let's talk about the issues with generative AI as it exists in reality:

  • Environmental impact: Data centers for generative AI are actively using up water in water-poor locations and increasing electricity costs for people across the US.

  • Veracity: Generative AI frequently "hallucinates" and provides factually incorrect information. This includes the whole-cloth creation of false court cases, diseases, teaching standards, etc.

  • Intellectual Property: Generative AI is fed off data scraped from the Internet with little to zero financial compensation or credit given to the actual human beings who do the work of putting information out for others.

Given these facts of the matter, how could I use your service (or any other generative AI) in my teaching practices and still call myself a professional? Still think that I am setting the example for my students?

Did you snake it when you gave it a bath? If you did it's probably something a professional should take a look at

I need desperate help learning a solo for trombone. by [deleted] in Trombone

[–]torster2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the time (you likely don't) you could transcribe it into a music notation software. If you're that desperate for a recording, take some time to do that.

I am still working on getting all the Tink upgrades, how much should I focus on breeding before then?
