I’m a first year teacher in middle school math. In college, my professors would talk about implementing a flexible seating arrangement. I have different kinds of chairs that I can bring into my classroom, but I want to hear from teachers who have tried this before I do it. How’d it go? Pros? Cons? What different rules did you try? My idea is that I will teach with students at their desks and then they may move around during independent work time. I have a couch, floor cushions, pillows, and varying types of chairs. Edit: It’s been about 30 minutes since I’ve posted, and I’ve already gotten lots of good advice. Here’s what I’m thinking: - I could use flexible seating as a reward for good behavior. - If I do it, it should be introduced later in the year. - I need to create clear consequences. - Rules to avoid fights over seating. - It will be accessible and not leave any student out. - Nothing that can break from weight, nothing too small, and probably not seating with fuzzy fabrics. I a
For all teachers, please tell me if this is normal behavior of a school district and that’s why I can’t get another job. Last year was my first year as a teacher. I applied around and got a job as an upper elementary grade teacher at a charter school. (The only reason I applied to this position was because relatives of mine had helped start up the school a long time ago and their kids had gone there). I decided to accept the position because it was the grade I wanted and had worked with through college. About a week after being offered the job, they called and said they wanted to switch me to a very young grade because they thought I would be “the perfect fit.” I didn’t love the idea but said yes because I figured a job is a job and the lower-grade curriculum is simpler. The school year started and it was a learning curve for me, one because obviously as a first year teacher, things would be new, but also because the school was very heavy on student discipline. I was observed at least
I am a high school English teacher and I have $100 credit to use on Zazzle. Normally, I'm a big proponent of not spending your own money on classroom supplies, but the store credit was a reimbursement from a previous order & I wanna put it to good use! A few things to consider: - I'm going into year 14 and I don't need any classroom decor. - I currently have the following items I made on vistaprint in previous school years: business cards designed as punchcards, business cards designed as homework passes, custom postcards to send home. - I've also created the following things and added them to my cart already: custom mouse pad with my cat's face on it, custom grading stamp where I can check boxes for common writing fixes. So, with all that said – If you were in my position, what would you spend the money on? Any creative things I haven't thought up yet? Any ideas to make my classroom run more efficiently? submitted by /u/saras-lost-wallet [link] [comments]
I was non-renewed last school year. I teach Spanish, and am a 6th year teacher. I was offered a position at a school and had accepted it but hadn’t signed my contract yet. Thought I was good to go but because of reasons the school decided to rescind their offer on the Friday before the Monday I was supposed to come in to sign my contract. By that point the summer hiring season was really over for the area. I applied to the few open positions and only got one interview but no offer. Now I’m stuck whether I should substitute teach for the year and try again for mid year hires and then next summer or if this is a sign it’s time to move along and find a new career. submitted by /u/SeleneBeMyName [link] [comments]
Just got my updated SOE letting me know im eligible for a temporary certificate and was able to start applying last week(Florida took forever to send it🙄). Have applied to probably over 50 positions PK-5th(only eligible for PK-3 as i originally wanted to teach PK but there arent many positions and Florida does allow for year out of field, just hoping schools will give me a chance:(), school starts back up for teachers in my district August 3, and im a first year teacher who is already coming in at a disadvantage because I don’t have an education background, but rather a degree in something else and then I spent the last year substituting and taking tests for a temp certificate.

This is SUCH a stupid question but I am pretty decent at IVs now finally but I struggle with applying the tegaderm one handed. I feel like I can't let go of the IV or it's gonna slide out, dislodge, blow, etc. but then I end up getting the tegaderm stuck to the hand that's stabilizing the IV. Not to mention it is really hard to apply a tegaderm one handed. This feels like such a niche and obvious question but idk how to Google or search for it. Can I just let go of the IV and it'll stay in place while I apply the tegaderm? Any tips for keeping it stable while I apply the tegaderm? submitted by /u/CatnipOverdose [link] [comments]
I’ve been debating posting about this for quite some time now, but it has gotten to the point where I just avoid hanging out with her as I don’t want to hear about it anymore. My bestfriend and I have been close for the past 17 years. 5 years ago I became an HCA, and 4 years later she decided to do the HCAP program. I helped her quite a bit with the program. To start, during her HCA program she referred to herself as a nursing student. I did try to correct her quite a few times, but she would just change the subject and move on. Fast forward to the last 2 years, I’ve been in the HCA to LPN bridge program. Working my butt off just trying to make it through, as most nurses know, it’s much harder than the HCA program. At the beginning of my program we were out somewhere when someone asked us what we do for a living. She stated “I’m a nurse, and she’s in nursing school”. I didn’t correct her in the moment as I didn’t want to embarrass her, even though I wanted to as it felt like a slap in

Has anyone here ever taken an extended break from teaching? I'm not talking just the usual summer vacations, but maybe a semester or even a full year but a full school year, almost like a sabbatical? I've only been teaching for three years, but this past school year was pretty brutal. I won't get into all the details, but it's left me feeling completely drained. Plus the drama of dealing with admin and parents. I worked at a private school these 3 years, and was applying to public schools but no bites. So at least for now, I'll be returning to the classroom come fall. That said, I'm seriously wondering if taking a year away from the classroom might be the healthiest thing I could do. Part of it is burnout, but I also want more time with my family. Financially, we're fortunate that my husband's income is enough to support us, so I actually have the option. For those of you who've taken a year off, how did it go? Did you return to teaching afterward? Go into industry (I started out in in
I've been teaching for 10 years but this last year was particularly stressful and draining as I was teaching Kindergarten in a badly organized school. I was also getting ready to move continents, which I did in June. I've been off more than a month now and I still feel drained. I'll sleep 10 hours, then nap for 2 or more during the day. I have things to do including fitness goals and redecorating but have only been watching series and napping. Does this sound like normal burnout or should I get checked out? submitted by /u/Commercial-Weight173 [link] [comments]
A large portion of the problems that exist in education are because idealists are convinced they can change the world through grit and a can do attitude. I come to school every day and teach as well as I can, but I'm under no impression that many of these kids are changed because of it. A lot of teachers and administrators think things are possible which clearly aren't. I remember an instructional coach saying we would get every single student up to grade level for state testing. I sat there thinking how much of an idiot she is. She had almost no experience in education and genuinely thought that we would get those kids up. It's a kind of magical thinking. These people genuinely think we will bring a 9th grade student who's reading at a 2nd grade level up to his appropriate grade level. It's probably not possible. That doesn't mean we can't have meaningful growth. That student might get to a 5th or 6th grade level. That should be celebrated. We need to bring back a dose of realism in e
I have been a nurse for 10 years ( I am 34 yo). I work jn a busy ER-over the past year I noticed a sloppiness in the work environment that drives me bonkers. For example: I come on shift and patients are not hooked up to the monitor when they need to be. Vitals are not done for 6+ hours. Temperature not checked for over 24hrs. Patient that needed OR still in his street clothes. Blood pressure cuff over the thick sweater. Dried blood on the monitoring equipment. Linen bags overfilled and full of pillows and garbage that should not be there. Doctors leaving their bloody sharps and equipment in the room. Don’t get me started on tech staff who just sit there while there are call lights going on and tasks to be completed and when I kindly ask I get an eye roll. Now, I don’t think I am unreasonable that these are the bare minimum tasks for everyone to be working smoothly. It truly takes more time to pick up this slack than doing the tasks at the moment. We are all busy. But that is not an ex

So I work at a public school in a non-union state. Pay is one of the highest in the region which is nice. Normally we have 5-6 preplanning days. 60% of that is usually meetings to go over changes and required first of the year paperwork crap and one half day where they bus everyone to an arena to go “ra-ra-ra” over the district and spend a bunch of money on a thing that should have been an e-mail. This year they’ve added THREE professional development days on top of the six days scheduled. WHY?! and when I look at what is planned for my subject area, we’re meeting with the exact same person and doing the exact same thing we did for our post planning days literally two months ago. It feels like such a colossal waste of time and a really great way to start teacher burn out early. Just a vent and I hope no one else is dealing with this! Edit: I just combed over the schedule. Nine days is around 63 hours worth of work. 65 for the one day that we are early because of Convocation and riding
I see a lot of nurses here and irl who get mad when patients set an alarm and request their prn pain med on the dot. While I understand it’s frustrating to have to do an extra task, until you’ve been in 10/10 pain I think it’s unfair to judge. I’ve been in unmedicated 10/10 pain for days on end and I completely understand why patients want to stay on top of their pain meds. Being in a high level of pain isn’t only physically excruciating, it makes you question everything including if living is even worth it. I don’t blame patients for wanting to avoid that. With that said, when patients are rude about it that’s a different story, but I understand why they want to prevent their pain from getting worse when the pain meds wear off. It also may be a sign to advocate to the doctors that they need their standing pain reg to be adjusted. For the people who are saying requesting prns on the dot is an automatic indicator that they have an addiction problem I would ask that you reconsider this v
I always hear teachers complaining about the lack of attention or the shorter attention span their students show. Then, while I was reading Fred Jone's Tools for teaching, I came across this sentence that impressed me. "A student who has been allowed to substitute television or videogames for reading may show a short attention span and little interest in classroom tasks". He wrote this essay back in 2007. I suppose it was already a big problem back then, but right now maybe it's got even worse because students can bring smartphones wherever they want and they may lack interest in many more activities. Do you think this is true based on your experience or is this just boomerism/refusing to accept things change and our society has changed a lot over the last 20 years? submitted by /u/Decent-Ad-5329 [link] [comments]
Hi guys, I’m anxious about starting the year. I’m new to teaching art education k-5th grade. My student teaching experience didn’t really show me how to lesson plan or school, it’s a been sort of on the go kind of deal… Can someone break down how to teach a lesson, and how you break it down for each grade level? For example, if you’re going to teach color to kindergarten vs fifth grade how would you break it down to lead to the art project? I struggled a lot with that.. and I really need support, please don’t judge me…. If you have an example of a lesson plan that breaks down how you would execute a project ID APPRECIATE IT.. this would allow me to build off of it submitted by /u/purplevy12 [link] [comments]
Hello, I'm looking for some advice from experienced third-grade teachers. At the end of August, I'll be taking over for a teacher as their long-term substitute in a third-grade classroom. I previously taught Kindergarten for two years, so this will be a big (and exciting!) change. This is also a district where I'd really love to earn a permanent teaching position, so I want to do the best job I possibly can. Since I'll basically be starting the school year with the class and expect to be there for at least three months, I'd love any tips, advice, or "must-knows" for teaching third grade. What do you wish you had known? Are there any classroom management strategies, routines, writing, ELA, or math resources that have been especially helpful? Any favorite lessons, organization tips, or classroom essentials? I appreciate any suggestions you can share. Thank you so much! submitted by /u/Any-Source2033 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m going into my senior year of nursing school this upcoming fall and thought it would be great for me to get my foot in the door and work as a PCT. I started in May, and just got off orientation last week. However, I’ve been getting really bad cold feet and just so much anxiety thinking about going back to work. I don’t even know why. Everyone had been very kind and supportive, but every time I think of going back, I want to break down and cry. I work in an ICU, and I do love critical care, which is why I wanted to work in the ICU as a new grad. I am now beginning to question if this is what I want to do. I’m honestly contemplating on quitting because my mental health has been deteriorating like crazy because of this. I’m feeling so hopeless because I feel like I can’t manage myself in this state, and when I’m at work, I just want to go right back home. I have been panicking about it and especially the day before I need to work I seriously begin to freak out. I know the
hii, so i recently joined a school as a school counsellor and I'm also asked to go to the classes to teach life skills from the books that should have been more mental health related but is rather a General Knowledge one (which is not my forte). I joined thinking my time would be spent counselling but right now all I'm doing is teaching, which is something I'm neither experiences in, no do I have any training. As a counsellor, I don't want to be overbearing on students or shout because I want to seem approachable but I feel that I'm being taken for granted and a little like a pushover. It's only my 3rd day and some of the students have started treating me like a friend. I stand in front of the class, giving them time to settle down but they don't. Even if they see me enter the class, stare at time, they keep doing what they are doing, that is, running around, talking, arguing and playing. I'm already done because I'm not able to manage them. I don't know if there is any way except for
Hi everyone! I just graduated with a non-nursing undergraduate degree. I've been planning on going to medical school to become a pediatrician, but am now considering rerouting to pediatric nursing and possibly becoming a pediatric NP further down the line. I worked at a childcare center and fell in love with interacting with children, but I know that's much different than a hospital setting. I have experience shadowing outpatient pediatricians and basic hospital exposure through discharging patients and sanitizing rooms, but have no clue what life would actually look like as a pediatric nurse. - How does a typical day on the job play out? - What does a workweek look like? Is it always the 3 12-hour shifts/week format? - Is it hard to find work? Would I ever have to sacrifice working in a unit I don't like to get work? - How emotionally taxing is the job, especially when caring for super sick children? - Do you feel like you have enough autonomy and opportunities to critically think? -
Hi everyone, I’m a Communication Arts/Literature with a secondary education licensure (English teacher for 5th grade). I wanted to make this post for a long time. I haven’t told any of my family the way I feel… I feel like such a fraud. I love writing and I went into teaching because I love children. I’ve been a babysitter all my life and I’ve worked 5 years at a camp for the specific grade I want to teach (5th). Like the title says, I’m a senior in college. I feel like a fraud because I haven’t learned a single thing on teaching writing, and I don’t think I’m a good writer myself. I don’t read a lot. My grammar is horrible. I don’t know how to explain anything about English to students. My classes have been focused on overloading us with textbooks on pedagogy with no classroom implication at all. Not only do I feel insecure about teaching, I am terrified for this generation of students. During my field experience, they’re completely uninterested and show signs of learned helplessness.
I'm 20 almost 21 M and a university student. I live at home with my single father. I've recently come to the realisation that my sister (17) is incredibly behind on maths and reading, and am looking for strategies to help her. I've started helping with her homework this year, and she can't do multiplication, doesn't understand fractions, basic algebra, etc. What's really unsettling is I'll teach her something, watch her execute it correctly (ie finish the textbook chapter), but when the topic comes back up she's completely forgotten. I'm genuinely horrified, especially because I know she's not stupid and she's incredibly capable in her day to day life. She also lacks any resilience, and immediately gives up when she's unsure. I sat next to her for half an hour with a chart of log laws whilst she cried and yelled at me for not helping her pick the ones she needed off the list. It's kind of horrifying actually, it's like working with a toddler. I feel bad for not noticing earlier, but I'

Hello! I used to teach at an inner city middle school that had numerous problems such as constant fights among students, lack of admin care, larger than average class sizes (my average class size was 38 students) among many other issues that led to me and 15 other teachers leaving at the end of the year. While I do have some good memories teaching there, the bad heavily out weight the good especially with it being my first year teaching and truthfully I get anxious just thinking of the experiences I had there. But now I am still looking for positions for the upcoming year and have recently gotten an offer from a different middle school (rural/smaller town). I am absolutely terrified of it being like before. Terrified that I will fail as a teacher as I felt I did in my first year at the previous school. Thus far in my job hunting I've only been looking at elementary so getting an offer for middle school has made me debate heavily if its worth it or not to take the position. So I guess m

Hi everyone. So I’ve been working in pediatric home health for about 8 months and I love it. (I’ve been a nurse almost 5 years). I love my company, and the kiddos and families I get to work with. The pay is great, and it’s super flexible. However, I have a safety concern. In my nursing career, safety has always been my number one priority. I’ve had to advocate in tough situations to protect my patients and my license. One of those situations is a recent patient I wanted to start working with. Please note, I have no vent experience and my job knows this. I told them in my interview when they asked. With our company, you take a virtual vent training class and that’s about the only knowledge I have under my belt. The shift I picked up was a baby that was coming home from the NICU that same day. It was never made clear to me that my company expected me to “orient” with a nurse for 2 hours, and work the entire shift with this baby alone. I was under the impression that I’d be training with
I’m 18 and just graduated from high school. I plan to go to community college and then transfer, but I’m still confused about what I should major in. I know I want to become a teacher, but I’m still wondering if I have to major in education or if I could major in something else and still become a teacher in California. I wouldn’t mind majoring in something like finance or engineering since I find that interesting, just to keep my options open in case life takes me in a different direction. Also, if I start out wanting to teach elementary, could I switch to high school later if I wanted to, or are those completely different paths? What did you guys major in, and if you could do it over again, would you choose the same thing? Any advice helps! submitted by /u/Kitchen-Map2457 [link] [comments]

Only 2 weeks + federal holidays off in an entire year is insane.

I've been working at a new job in peds psych as a new grad for only a little bit now and I've loved it so far. There are days that are very heavy/stressful, but overall I'm happy to come into work. I'm not fully independent, so I'm aware I probably have those rose colored glasses on about enjoying this area of nursing, but... I wanna know how my seasoned peds psych nurses protect their peace and work through burnout. Sometimes it feels like some nurses have the view that it is inevitable to become burnt out and compassion fatigued with time, but is this just something I'll need to navigate when it 'inevitably' happens , or are there things I can do now to help myself not become bitter about my work and being a nurse in the future. Also, I'm not judging, because I know that this is a very emotionally draining specialty, and can even be physically dangerous. I'm just seeking advice so I can start off on the right foot :) submitted by /u/drpepperRN [link] [comments]
I'm a freelance journalist considering a leap to teaching. I have a BA in English and an MA in journalism. I have the Illinois state Professional Educator License (PEL)/Illinois Professional Teaching License (PTL), which allows me to sub in Illinois. However, in order to teach long-term in a classroom, it looks like I need the following: A Professional Educator License (PEL) with a teaching field endorsement. That means completing an ISBE-approved alternative licensure program, which takes 15 months or more. Then I need to pass exams before starting a residency. Then, for 1-2 years, I need to do residency/mentored teaching period. Then, my program provider needs to recommend me so I can apply for entitlement in ELIS (Educator Licensure Information System). Then, I need to find a teaching job, most likely at the lowest introductory salary while I'm close to 55 years old, with new graduate school loans to pay off. Best case scenario: I must then work for 10 years in the Illinois state ed

Then the place that I wanted and got even though my credit report was not the best said “Well you’re a nurse and this and that, I respect you guys its hard work, I talked to the office and explained the situation and the good work you do” It feels great to finally be respected by somebody lol, as we all know most of the times in our workplace the patients and management are not super appreciative all the time… Edit: I don't understand so many people saying they've gotten out of speeding tickets which seems illogical? ok you're a nurse but you're still
I saw this banner for project hail Mary on my streaming box. https://imgur.com/a/EVMLry3 For those who don't want to click on the link "Teacher alone in space must save earth" I bet he still has to answer parent emails, give blatent cheaters a passing grade, and deal with admins 3 new contradictory policies at the same time. submitted by /u/samwisevimes [link] [comments]
These might be odd questions, but ... Do you or any female teachers you work with wear blazers? If so, what grade level? Do you think a blazer is too "old school"? submitted by /u/helpme7500 [link] [comments]
So I was having an interview and they asked me ‘what would I do when having to do boring jobs such as admin work’. Well if it’s a part of my job I would just do it? So I said ‘if it’s a part of my job description I would just get it done’ then they just looked at each other as if I had given the worse answer ever 🤣 What else could I have said?? Did they want me to get up and perform a tap dance musical about how excited I would be to do admin work?? What else could anyone say other than I would get the job done regardless? At least I didn’t say if it’s boring I wouldn’t do it. But if the job needs doing and it’s my responsibility then I’ll get it done. I’m honestly not sure what answer they would have wanted from me. Anyone know the answer to this question? submitted by /u/Middle-Asparagus-802 [link] [comments]
