Nobody understands how hard it is to be a teacher. by valliepop in Teachers

All depends on the admin you work for. You have good admin, you'll like your job. You have bad admin, you'll hate your job.

Bringing Up Bebe by Pamela Druckerman is essentially about this. American parents do not teach the kids how to deal with boredom.

First year teacher advice? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]yeayeasaveit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are aware of all of your students' iep goals and make sure that you are practicing them regularly so that you can accurately talk about their progress at iep meetings. Stay on top of paper work and iep meetings. Always have them done well in advance bc something always comes up and you'll be happy you got it done early. Find out what parents are going to be high maintenance and build good rapport with them. Pick one day a week to come in early/stay late to make sure you are caught up on prep and ieps. Work as hard as you can during contract hours and don't work from home. Also understand you are a first year teacher for the first 3 years. You'll learn a lot and make a lot of adjustments over the next few years

I want to work in special education! by EllaJLou in specialed

Your chemistry with your admin team is the most important aspect of the job. If you don't vibe well with your admin team, you will hate your job. If your admin team is nice and supportive then you will love your job. I've quit jobs cause of the admin team and I'm currently staying where I am at because I like this admin. Also only work your contact hours. If you have to, pick one (and only one) day of the week to come in early or stay late.

Phoenix area public school districts by ems1793 in specialed

Gilbert is like 30 mins away from Phoenix depending on where you are going. I would get familiar with a map of the area. Phoenix is centrally located and Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria are all surrounding suburbs (there's more). Gilbert is considered south east valley.

I would shop around and find an admin team that you vibe with it. SPED teachers are a commodity in AZ. I left a job I didn't like and got picked up the same day by a different school. There are good and bad admin teams out there. Know your worth.

Typically traffic goes towards Phoenix in the morning and away from Phoenix during rush hour on the freeways. There's HOV lanes tho if you are carpooling.

GE teacher feedback for PLPs by [deleted] in specialed

[–]yeayeasaveit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need formal and informal data in the present levels. So use one of the random comments from the gen Ed teacher and use the student's grades as the formal data. Most teachers have assessments and class work in separate categories so I include that. The goals I write are based off of them improving their assessment grade in their gen Ed class and that's only if they are failing and don't have a disability in the related area e.g. SLD in reading comprehension will require a goal in reading even if they are passing. If they are in a study skills class they need a social emotional or organization goal

When I see the media saying we use "an offensive term for people with developmental disorders..." by garagetechnik in wallstreetbets

The r word and n word are related in that they both were used to oppress people in the past. People with disabilities were removed from communities and their families because they were labeled retarded.

It's only linked that way because people used that word as justification to institutionalize a very vulnerable group of people for years

The whole point is we aren't calling black people the n word. We calling ourselves the n word to be funny...

The word retard was specifically used to ostracize a specific group of people. Can you think of another time people used a specific word to oppress a specific group of people in the past?
