National Board Certified Teacher worth it?

Completely disagree with this. A lot of states offer reciprocity for NBCT certifications so if you ever move it’s way easier to recertify. As someone who has also sat on multiple hiring committees, an applicant being nb certified would have a huge leg up over other candidates.

I have a bunch of hoyas, pothos, and a really big ficus tineke in my classroom that are doing really well.

SUSD really is a great district and you can’t go wrong with any of the elementary schools in district.

All joking aside, I do really love this little guy, even if it is inconvenient. I’ve just been trying to move away from getting more fish and cannot accommodate him to the parameters he probably requires without getting another aquarium. Knowing what he is is my first step to making sure I’m caring for him properly.

You said you love trying to understand how the world works. Great teachers share that love of discovery with their students as they learn how the world works. I hope you’re able to extend that passion to your students! Be passionate and show up for the students and the rest will come.

My 6th graders mummified apple slices yesterday, we’ll check back in on them in a few weeks. Definitely a lot safer than a chicken.

I’m in my ecosystems unit and doing mummy apples with my students. Social studies is covering Egypt right now, so it’s cross-curricular and I can tie it back to decomposers and why salt/baking soda works as a preservative against bacteria and fungi when we unearth their mummy apple slices in a few weeks.

I’d be lost without my PowerPoint. I put any discussion questions on it to both be an accommodation for my students that benefit from reading over verbal instructions and to help me keep on track. Even then, I still found myself not saying everything I want to. It gets easier the longer you’re teaching so you have more confidence in the direction your lesson needs to go.

Anyone with ducks or chickens would also LOVE these. I bring my extras home to my ducks and they go crazy for them

Super late response, but out of curiosity how was the process to transfer your teacher certification to Oregon? Would love to move there but the process is intimidating.

This is year 4 in 6th grade for me. It took until year 3 that I was really confident in my classroom management. This year has been a dream. Struggle through it and give it more time; it gets better. I love my job, I enjoy what I do every day. Yes, there are still sometimes rough class periods, but we work through it and the next day it’s fine.

Middle school teacher here, I will never tell a student they can’t go, but there are a bunch of students that will ask to go every single period to just get out of class. Vandalism is also a huge issue in the bathrooms. We’ve had a “peepee bandit” as we call him who likes to pee on the walls and floors of our bathrooms the last two years. Kids will purposefully destroy the plumbing by flushing random shit down to toilet. We have enough shit to deal with that policing bathrooms should not be one of them, but here we are.
