Student Teaching Internship

I'm beginning a student teaching internship this school year through my high school. What is the biggest thing that you wish your student teachers / interns knew before joining your classroom, and what would be the way I could best help in the first few weeks? submitted by /u/Nearby-Base-5804 [link] [comments]

Punishment Opinion

(So this happened to me a while back in my first year of teaching but I wanted to get others’ opinions on whether or not it was too harsh. Obviously there’s nothing I can do about the situation now and so I’m not really looking for advice per se, but maybe thoughts on what to do differently if the situation comes up again. This is quite long so I apologize but appreciate anyone who reads through to the end and sticks it out.) In my first year of teaching, I was teaching 5th graders. I was not nearly as prepared as I should have been (at no fault of my own, just bad school management and horrible administration). But I gave it my best shot and did what I could to engage my students and be the teacher they needed. About halfway through the year, I had determined who my “good students” were and who my “bad students” were (pausing here to say that I don’t actually believe in this verbiage or grouping students this way, but for the sake of the post, I’m just clarifying) and we had a solid r

Anyone else feeling tired of nursing but not sure what other job to take ? I have an orientation on Monday for a new bedside position but i’m honestly like … I don’t even want to do bedside anymore . My mind and body are tired of the bedside crap. I don’t want to work in a 9-5 clinic either . So I feel stuck .

I am a new first grade teacher and I have been getting my room ready and organized over the summer. Currently, I have tiny cubbies. There is a classroom down the hall, however that has a nice piece of cubby furniture. I am thinking about trading the cubbies. Is that ok?

How do you do classroom management/set expectations (first grade)

Hi everyone! I am going to be a second year first grade teacher in the fall. While overall this year was a success, I did have some issues with classroom management (not based on anything my admin said, I just felt like my room was chaos at times). When my paraprofessionals were in the room, things would go pretty smooth and I’d be able to teach effectively and it would be great. However, we had lots of staffing switches, especially towards the end of the year. Out of my 19 kids, while most of them listened to me no matter what, I had maybe 5 boys that would be silly when my paras weren’t there. And the para wasn’t assigned to any of these kids. They would do things like say no to work, wander the classroom during independent work time or teaching time, talk during lessons, and I had one that even would try to make a “show” to make other kids laugh. At the beginning of the year, I wrote a list of expectations with the kids (they came up with what to write on the class promise). For the

Any school successfully using a digital CICO form for sped students?

I’m teaching at a grade 6-8 school with sped students many of whom use a check in check out sheet daily to earn things for their positive behavior intervention . I really want to move away from the daily paper sheets as most kids don’t bother to carry them around or they feel embarrassed having to get them each morning. I feel like if I made a digital form where the teachers could score them during passing period it would be less cumbersome but also I don’t have that much faith in them to remember to actually do it unless the student puts a paper directly in their hands… is there a school who is doing this successfully?

For veteran nurses of 20+ years: how has your scope changed?

I'm a new grad RN and have heard that nursing 20 and more years ago was very different. How has it changed? I'm in Canada, so would love to hear Canadian perspectives. What has been made easier? What has become broadened? How have developments in technology (from IV pumps to EHR) improved or worsened nursing? Is nursing still the same?

We listen and we don't judge...July 2026 edition....

So, this memory just came to me today, and I need to share it with someone. Hey, you are the lucky "someone." In about 2005, before I really knew a lot about email, and all things computer related, my special ed director 'blind copied' me on some emails to a support staff (therapist) in which she was chewing him out for several different things. I was the "team leader," but that comes with no real authority. I would just help newer teachers learn things paperwork or classroom management related, even though I had only been teaching a few years at this time. Anyways, I digress. So, I had absolutely NO IDEA what 'bc' was. It was over Christmas Break when I checked my work email. I used to check it once a week or so....oh, those were the days. I had 3 emails that were sent to this therapist. I 'replied' and told my director that I wasn't sure why I was getting these emails and she must be sending them to the wrong person. Needless to say, he saw my response. The therapist used those email

"Not many women want to marry a nurse"

Whats up yall! I am a recently licensed RN in Ny. I am also of North African descent, and in my early 20s. My family supported me becoming an RN, but I am occasionally getting comments about it. Recently they have been asking me to find someone to marry, but they are saying things like "you need to advance your education, not many women want to marry a nurse." This deeply troubled me. I think I am a successful young man with a 6 figure salary, and pension. I understand that I am in a female-dominated profession, but like really?

How do I deal with mean co-workers?

Hi everyone! Okay so I last year was my very first year of teaching fresh out of college. I came in so excited and ready to meet all of my co workers until I realized what they were saying about me. Right when the year began other people started telling me this girl on my team is claiming that I'm bullying her, she was also new to teaching?? (I WAS NOT!) she made up all of these lies about me and apparently people were feeding into it. Another veteran teacher started slandering my name around the school because she said I was rude and unprofessional when she made a joke towards me and I was joking with her too!! She told me I'm so funny and she loves my humor. Then it slowed down because people realized i wasn't mean!!! Then it happened again at the end of the year when the veteran teacher came to look through classrooms to see where she was moving and I was mid eating.

(Hopefully) A First Year Teacher- Answers to Questions and Advice Welcome!

I am in the process of transitioning careers- museum professional to teaching- and am looking mostly for advice. First question, do school systems really hire late/last minute? I have seen so many things about how schools and the school system hire for positions last minute or towards the end of the summer, super close to the start of the school year. Is that true? How are new teachers meant to prepare if they get maybe a couple of weeks to get things set up and organized? Secondly, I am based in Maryland and from my understanding (I could be totally wrong) because I have my BA in History I am able to get hired on a provisional license in a secondary setting, either middle or high school, and get my official licensure while teaching. If any other Maryland based teachers who came into the field through the alternative route have comments or advice on this process please feel free to say something!

I feel so guilty for calling in

On a stretch of nights, I woke up today and ate a bit and then got this horrible nausea and dizziness, so I called in.

I know it was short notice but I really don’t feel well and can’t focus when I’m so nauseous.

Classroom library recommendations grade 4!

Moving to a new school and new grade level, and I’m hoping to start buying for my classroom library. Originally was going to hit yard sales but then I just got the urge to buy them brand new books, it’s just I teach on what are called “community” schools which is very low income, because I’ll be honest low income here means like they likely live in a shelter, group home, foster care, rely on the school or food bank for food, so on. And that’s okay, but I feel like buying them some quality, brand new books for the room would be meaningful for them instead of more stuff that’s hanging on its last thread, literally. So what’s good to buy for this age range (9-11 ish). My kids are 7 and under and on the young side so it’s hard to judge if what they’d like to read is what these kids would, and then last year I taught grade 8 and I didn’t even do a classroom library because they were just so rude to anything I bought I knew they’d vandalize all the books so quickly… Any suggestions are very

What is your honest second career if nursing stopped working out tomorrow?

The second career fantasy thread got me thinking about this more seriously than I expected. Not in a dramatic way, just genuinely curious what people would actually do if they walked away. For me it would probably be something with my hands, maybe carpentry or some kind of trade work. There is something appealing about a job where you finish your shift and you can physically see what you built or fixed. No charting about it. No one calls you at 2am to ask if you documented it. Nursing skills transfer more than people give credit for. The critical thinking, staying calm when everything is going sideways, managing difficult personalities all day. None of that maps cleanly onto a resume outside of healthcare though. I think a lot of us end up staying not because we have no other options but because leaving feels like throwing away years of hardearned knowledge and a tolerance for chaos that most people couldn't handle for a single shift. Curious what people have actually thought about or

Student management programs

Recommendations on the best apps for catalouging, organizing students and lesson plans and materials. Currently I have been using a seperate file for each student with notes, Google Docs and Excel. I primarily teach Business, Medical, Intermediate to Advanced English and Fluency Training, and in most cases the classes are adjusted to the individual student's industry, specialty and goals. So, in general I'm not really able to use the same lessons with every student. I also create a lot of my own learning materials. Some general, some specialized topics. Most of my Intermediate level General English students I use textbooks with, so this is much simpler than the specialized classes. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hospice orders that seem extreme

I work in LTC and have for years, so I’ve had hundreds of hospice patients at this point and have seen many of them die. I have absolutely no issue giving comfort meds, I think they are absolutely necessary for a peaceful death in a lot of cases. However, this one has made me question a lot. I currently have a resident who has been on hospice for a few months now. They are definitely making a decline and had a really bad week this week, but they weren’t declared to be actively dying. They are receiving more hospice visits though. Yesterday this resident seemed to be normal and baseline. They have dementia and are normally a wanderer so that’s what they were doing. They fall quite often, but they have for the whole year they have been here and years before when they were at home. In LTC the resident has a right to fall, so no restraints are allowed. The hospice nurse asked me if I had given them any meds yet that day, and I hadn’t because he wasn’t agitated or didn’t seem to be in pain.

Maggots found

*trigger warning- bugs* Charge RN in medical ICU here- we found maggots in one of our patients mouths today and I’m wondering what the likelihood is of the eggs originating from our unit (I.e did one of these fucking flies lay eggs in our patients mouths????) Patient admitted 6/28 for sepsis and was intubated 7/5. Maxed on 4 pressors now. ENT came to evaluate and ultimately said nothing they could do because pt is obviously too unstable for OR. But they made a comment saying that the maggots have been there for a while due to the amount of them. Upon further research it seems like the eggs are layed and hatched with a day.

Everyone complains about everyone.

RNs complain about CNAs and Clerk, CNAs complain about RNs and Clerk, Clerks complain about RNs and CNAs. It’s just non stop complaining and no one wants to (or can) do anything to make it better. As a clerk I have seen bad RNs, CNAs, and Clerks. I try to get along with everyone but it feels like a test of patience and professionalism. Call bells going off and RNs running in to help patients use the bathroom when the CNAs are sitting playing with their phones. RNs yelling at CNAs for having questions. Clerks literally just sitting there doing nothing. No one communicates professionally or acts professionally at all. I don’t expect anyone to be corporate but at least have some professionalism.

The actual problems with using AI as a teacher

I am writing here about using AI to generate content in ways that could reasonably be detected by others, such as assignment creation, emails, and written comments (I originally used a compound word that started with an "f" and ended with "back," but it flagged my post as spam, so I changed it to "teacher comments" throughout even though I strongly prefer my original word choice). Every time this issue comes up people point out that teachers and students have different roles, and that it’s not hypocritical for teachers to use a tool that students can’t. Which, yes, our roles are different. I can do lots of things my students can’t, some of it on the job. Point taken. But that’s not the real issue with using AI to generate content in the classroom. Education, especially in K-12, is a two-way relationship. We create the learning environment, and students literally and metaphorically show up for it each day (in theory, at least). As part of that, students expect that we will come up with

The other 5% are the same students that are socially and academically behind and generally receive pity from the other students.

Michael Jackson

This isn’t me trying to be deliberately obtuse or contrarian, but I was just wondering about this at work today. I have been working as a kindergarten teacher in an affluent predominantly white community for several years and have noticed an interesting trend among some of our students. There are certain characters that all kids are drawn to, Spider-Man, Elsa, etc.— but even before the biopic came out this year, there has always been at least a small handful of kids that seemed to be intensely obsessed with Michael Jackson. Whenever we get rained out and stay indoors for “dance time,” his songs, particularly “Beat It“ and “Bad,” are requested repeatedly along with “Frozen“ and now “Golden” from K-pop demon hunters. Now, since the movie came out, the obsession among our students has reached a new intensity. He’s all they seem to be able to discuss. We have many kids attempting to moonwalk and re-enact his dancing, and almost daily I have to deal with at least one child raising their han

Tips for having prep before last class? 🥲

I’m going into my fourth year teaching and pretty excited for it except for a few things. The main one I’m nervous about is that my schedule is going to be a 6 period schedule with a 5th period prep. I teach middle school (all grades, elective), and I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a prep in the middle of the day the past three years. I’m really nervous to be on this different schedule. My teacher friends tell me that having a prep towards the end of the day usually means I won’t have any energy to be productive at all.

She fights the rest of us when it’s time for lights to go off (usually between 9-10pm, and obviously they’re not OFF off just dimmed). She skips around at 4:30 am and cranks the lights back on. No warning, just flips them all on and prances off. I’ve tried politely addressing it with her and even provided a personal sunlamp for her to use. Others have also spoken to her. But it hasn’t mitigated the issue and I’m personally nearing my boiling point with her. So what would you do/say? Unfortunately this is not her only annoying quality but I’m trying to pick my battles 😂 Edit to clarify: This chick is also a night shift nurse and refuses to go to days. I’ve already tried getting our manager to offer her a day position. 😭 submitted by /u/Jinxicatt [link] [comments]

PLTW has been a waste of time

I’m a new teacher, and I was put into this PLTW training; TLDR this curriculum training is a huge waste of time and money. The lessons are completely random and I’m very confident that a non engineer wrote this entire curriculum. The materials section is by far the worst. In addition to being completely out of place from the previous lessons, there’s very little substance in them. The substance that’s in them is flat out wrong or poorly explained. My advice for anyone forced to take this training: be nice to the trainers but just finish the work as soon as possible. Also, use as little of their curriculum as possible too. submitted by /u/Idontwantthismanga [link] [comments]

Dear parents: your child isn’t “gifted” because they refuse to do any work. They just… refuse to do any work, so please emailing teachers asking for their input

Your child still has to do work believe it or not. I got so tired of filling out questionnaires on suspected gifted. No Karen, your child is not gifted. They “gifted” in task avoidance and missing their assignments, if that’s what you mean. But I’m not going to waste my time bumping up the rigor just for skittle Tommy to ignore that work too. submitted by /u/Emergency-Pepper3537 [link] [comments]

Craziest thing I’ve heard a coworker say has now been updated

The other night the nurse I worked with was complaining to the supervisor about how hard the day shift nurse was on him during report. Supervisor asked why and he explained she was upset because he didn’t do the q4 bladder scan ordered. Supervisor of course asks why he didn’t do it if it’s ordered that way. Because of course the following nurse would be aggravated and now she’s aggravated because he just told her. He starts arguing with her that she’s wrong too because, “I asked ChatGPT and it said I didn’t have to do it if the patient was sleeping”. Supervisor tells him ChatGPT didn’t write the order so if doesn’t allot for sleep, then it still has to be done. He hits her with, and I do indeed quote, “ChatGPT has all the knowledge in the world, it knows more than every doctor in the world, I’ll trust it first” I’m not shocked healthcare workers are using chatGPT, there’s always dumb apples, but what a wild statement. And over something so small. As the kids say, we’re cooked, chat. 🙃

“Performance task”

I got chosen to do a second interview for a school district for a general elementary job meaning the whole district is doing multiple hires from the same set of interviews. For the second interview they asked that we do a “performance task” however it’s worded very vaguely and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to teach a lesson to the panel or present a lesson plan… Here is the wording…. As part of the Round 2 interview, you will complete a 15-minute performance task. A description of the performance task is attached to this email to assist you in your preparation. Following the performance task, you will participate in a 20–25-minute interview with the interview panel. During this portion of the interview, panel members will ask additional questions related to your instructional practices, professional experiences, and your ability to support student learning in Performance task we believe highly effective teachers create engaging, rigorous, and inclusive learning experiences where every s

Gabapentin as an emergency medication for a violent patient?

Hi fellow nurses, last night I had a very violent, aggressive patient who spat and kicked one of the CNAs very hard when she was trying to take vitals. This patient was brand new to our unit (a transfer) and because it was shift change, I barely had a moment to sit down and read through all of the notes thoroughly, but the few things that I did read is that this patient has always had a sitter/in q2h bilat wrist restraints (we were too short staffed last night for a sitter so we had him on careview monitoring), and the other thing was the family specifically stated they do not want their spouse on any antipsychotic medications. After my CNA notified me she had been assaulted, I immediately messaged the Provider to get oral Zyprexa added as a 1x dose. Before administering, I wanted to be courteous and to let the spouse know that I would be giving this medication because of the patient assaulting staff, and an anti-psychotic would be necessary. The wife initially agreed. I gave the patie

Anxiety lost!

I just wanted to share in a way possible for people to know with anxiety, anything is possible! I avoided this test since I graduated with my bachelor’s and master’s in education. Today I can say I passed my teacher certification subject area exam today. It was the exceptional student education K-12 . I feel so grateful and happy about it! I never thought I could do it because I didn’t think it was possible, I was so afraid. Even though I taught in different settings so I had knowledge. All the random studying and working with sweetheart students with disabilities made a difference. submitted by /u/Apprehensive-Cry2104 [link] [comments]
