Named after the hundred-eyed watchman of Greek myth, Argus watches the education landscape: spotting new opportunities, pressure-testing the ventures we're building, and tracing every read back to the real-world signals behind it.
The evidence library: the raw signals the pipeline is watching across the education ecosystem. Every idea is built from these.
So I verbally accepted my first teaching job… and now I want to back out. I thought I was interviewing to teach a traditional class but it turned out to be an inclusion class with like 50% SPED students, plus a good number of ELLs and a coteacher who splits her time between 3-4 rooms. Title I school. So kinda a pressure cooker of a first job for a newbie. I just got excited to even have a job offer and woke up the next day like what did I do?! It was a verbal yes that’s supposed to not be binding until I see the contract but HR immediately made a big deal about sending an email to the principal so I felt like I had to send an email back saying I was looking forward to it before reading the contract. It says I’m basically locked in for more than a year at that school so I haven’t signed yet and am kinda dragging my feet. The HR rep has been trying to pressure me to sign ASAP but I’m supposed to have a couple weeks to sign. Is it career suicide to go back and tell the principal and HR no
Hey everyone! The copy machine is down. We called Susan, and she said it won't be fixed until next week. Anyway, since it's Friday... What were some challenges that you faced recently?

we are both nurses at a hospital she works one side and I work the other. She is temporarily taking over someones position because they went to LOA. Anyways, I don't mind helping people. she looks like shes ready to give birth but thats until the end of August. Sometimes she has me do her wound dressings because she cannot bend her back. I have to go to her patients rooms who are infected because its deemed a risk to her and her baby. If there is a transfer the PCA's can't do themselves, she cannot assist them as it is deemed heavy lifting so she calls me. Any cancerous drugs, she has me administer them. long story short, I don't mind helping them, but isn't this the companies fault, I mean what so she gets a pass, she doesn't have to foot the bill and risk her life but I have too, while we both still get paid the same. submitted by /u/DribbleKing97_ [link] [comments]

I'm a new hire, teaching upper elementary next year. While working with that age is nothing new, setting up a classroom is. I have no idea what I'm teaching - because it hasn't been decided whether the team will be departmentalized this year or not. So it could be a little of everything, or it could be single subject. I don't know my classroom layout for sure, although I think I remember which side of the room the computer cables and things are from some sub jobs previously. I don't know if they have a spare desk or if I should be finding one this summer (nor do I know where I can keep it in my small house until I can move it in). I don't know when I'm have access to my classroom - will I have enough time to set things up between meetings and in-service and before open house night? Do I want to keep supplies in my desk or on it? Use my cubbies as a mailbox or to hold student supplies? Do I need a theme or is a general vibe/mood ok for decor? Have rules posted or have them help create t

Would you drive 40 min a day one way for $240 less a year but Admin that is better and less micromanaging and attitude about things or would you work 10 min from your house and stay where you know you are micromanaged and you are going to catch a lot of attitude form assistant AP all year? edited to clarify drive time submitted by /u/Any_Illustrator_2403 [link] [comments]

25M, on mobile. I’m curious on track to get my degree and license in the state of Florida. But honestly… I feel so defeated to the point where I’m straight up second guessing everything. I was supposed to do my second internship at my current job (private school). My school let me know last minute that I couldn’t do my internship there and I can’t afford to do an unpaid internship, so this is pushing me back from graduation by a whole year. Coupled with me not landing any teaching spots at my job and possibly just being a teacher’s assistant. Even if I managed to graduate and finish .. teaching in FL is just a nightmare to me at the moment. I hate how the curriculum is being introduced to the students, the awful pay is really setting in. And even though people are eager to see me in the classroom, the journey had been anything but joyful, or even supportive. I try to hold my own in hopes because people time and time again say how needed I am in the classroom. But I think I just want to
I think that either MOST if not all elderly people should be DNR. Why are we shattering these elderly bones??

Here’s the thing. I’m an ELA teacher but a rarity: I also coach. Which means kids (mostly boys) love to talk to me about sports. Hockey, football, and UFC (up until recently) were my favorites. I’m not clutching my pearls on that. I teach high school and had to learn to either ignore or not freak out over stuff I used to do at their age (party, smoke, bet with friends, etc.), but I guess we were smart enough not to tell our teachers. But over the last few years, I noticed that many boys would make betting jokes. And this past school year, any question or comment about the latest boxing fight or football game was met with “yo Schadenfruedian, who’s in your parlay?” Sports gambling has become more and more virulent, and I no longer feel I can connect with some of these kids due to them making it inappropriate. It’s sad, because I would always manage to connect with even my most “I hate reading” kids, not via the subject but by at least talking about sports. It sucks. But I’m not going to
Introduction: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can produce realistic clinical scenarios on demand and deliver immediate, individualized feedback, yet its use to teach ethical reasoning, rather than to address the ethics of AI itself, remains underexplored in interprofessional healthcare education. Aim: This pilot study examined how interprofessional healthcare students perceived an AI-enhanced, case-based platform designed to support ethical decision-making across physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology. Methods: Students enrolled in an interprofessional education course completed an online module of 20 instructor-vetted, AI-generated ethics cases and an optional post-activity survey of Likert-scale and open-ended items. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and qualitative responses were analyzed through content analysis. Results: Ten students responded. Within this small sample, perceptions of platform utility and usability were

I’ll start by saying I’m just an Ed tech. I work in a special needs classroom. There are 5 of us techs and our head teacher. In the fall I’ll start my 4th year in that room. I love my job. I love the kids. My fellow techs are awesome and head teacher is amazing. She’s kind and patient and does an incredible job. I have learned so much from her. Today she told us she won’t be back in the fall. We are devastated. It’s because of the SPED director. She’s just not supportive and all around dishonest and disrespectful person. The kids will be so sad in the fall. And I’m terrified of who will replace her. And I just can’t even picture our room without her. I would love to get her a going away gift, I’d love suggestions. Mostly just needed to say all this because nobody knows yet but us. submitted by /u/Mom-Wife-3 [link] [comments]
Hey everyone, I am currently going into my fourth year as an English Education major, and I have never regretted anything more in my life. I've always wanted to become a teacher, but after my first semester in college I was quick to realize I was too mentally ill to handle it. I ended up attempting to commit suicide, and it obviously did not work. I felt like a failure. Everyone pressured me to keep going and that I will like it eventually, etc etc. So I did. I didn't want to let anyone down like I did before. Now I'm in Phase II, going to start the semester before student teaching, and I can't do it. I can't handle the schedule or stress of teaching. I can't afford to change majors and restart. I haven't been able to work in three years due to the immense workload on top of my already failing mental health. Now, I have hospital bills and student loans. It feels like the only thing left to do is attempt again and pray it works this time. I'm scared. It feels like my life has fallen apa
Hi everyone, I'm 21, did DAE Software Engineering (Grade B / 67%) and Matric CS. Academically not strong but creatively I have good ideas and I want to pursue Filmmaking. I'm planning to go abroad for Bachelor's in Filmmaking in 2028. Working and saving money until then. Primary target is China (CSC scholarship) because their film industry is decent and the country has good future prospects. I'll learn Chinese and build a portfolio for the scholarship. Not staying in Pakistan because film programs here are generic and the future of this field here isn't what I want. Need guidance on: · Is China CSC realistic for someone with my grades? · Any other countries with good film industry, affordable living, and scholarships? · How much language do I need before applying? · What kind of portfolio do film schools expect? · I'll be 23 when I go. Is that too old? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks! submitted by /u/MSLogan07 [link] [comments]
https://www.the74million.org/article/democrats-move-to-impeach-linda-mcmahon-over-willful-intent-to-close-ed-dept Specifically, the articles of impeachment are: 1. Willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law The text cites McMahon’s actions to transfer responsibilities, which under law rest with the Education Department, to other agencies. Just last week , she announced that the office overseeing special education would move to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Civil Rights would transfer to the Justice Department. 2. False statements before Congress The resolution accuses McMahon of lying to Congress during her confirmation hearing that she would follow the law in disbursing education funds appropriated by Congress. Instead, the text reads, she has defended the cancellation of several research contracts and discontinued grants for programs like community schools. 3. Breach of public trust Again focusing on funding, the resolution states that the adm
