How old are these students? What kind of "work" are you referring to?
I have always had younger ones (toddlers and now infants), so we do daily reports on basic things like eating, sleeping, and diaper changes. In...
This is a very common practice and though some centers take it to an extreme and it can become unsafe, it is generally not a big deal. It is not...
If you have a smartphone and a bluetooth speaker (if you don't have one, they are pretty affordable), I'd recommend using Pandora and Spotify and...
Echoing what everyone else said, you need to turn things around ASAP. I have worked with people similar to this, and not speaking up has never...
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but can we have this conversation without belittling infant and toddler teachers? I work at a center where all...
Honestly, that looks awful. Toddlers do not need to be reading and adults should not be trying to force it on them. There are so many amazing and...
I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but good habits don't really seem like something you should be relying on a computer to teach, especially...
Nothing wrong with doing that, many centers have fairly high turnover and have positions opening up regularly. That said, have you tried...
I second Child Whisperer. We do an emergent curriculum type thing, but we've found it helps to come up with an overarching theme and see where it...
I'm watching, US is kicking absolute butt. :)
TBH, unless the job market is incredibly saturated, you likely won't have much trouble getting hired without experience. Talk about your ESL...
Seriously? No, it's really not an excellent, or even good, analogy. I found it to be a reckless and grossly inappropriate analogy. Drunk driving...
First of all, I think training is key. If there is an easy cue that circle time is starting, I think that helps a lot. We have carpet circles and...
I would give it more than a day to figure things out. If it's a good opportunity, you can make it work. You will probably need to take some...
I think rewards are okay as long as you aren't rewarding constantly for every little thing. Ideally, the kiddos are intrinsically motivated...
I'd disagree. I'd say if you really want to have cell service, it'd probably be simpler to just get a burner phone with a Canadian SIM to use....
I think using wifi would be the simplest solution here if you don't feel like you need service outside of your hotel (and probably...
I would recommend against taking away stickers at the very least. For undesirable behaviors, I find natural consequences are the most effective....
I would narrow it way down and choose either a couple books by the same author or one book from each and do activities around that. I would not...
