How about putting stickers over the faces or something? That, or get parents to sign a release that states your intended usage.
I would ask when you schedule the interview, or call and ask if you already did. I did a demo lesson for a panel of interviewers, but everyone...
I called a district on the phone to ask a few questions, and the HR person let me know they'd be posting again for a few more spots in August like...
Not saying this kid has ADHD like those in the link I'm about to share, but some kids NEED to move around in order to learn. Here's an article...
I would 100% call based on what you have shared. When in doubt, call. It's their job to investigate and determine what's really going on.
In this area, when they specifically tell you it's not allowed, it's not really a no-lose. It's not a good idea to disqualify yourself for not...
Short answer: yes. Some schools are worse than others. There's plenty of it on this board (and everywhere on the internet). I just do my best to...
FWIW, I have seen co-teaching with sped and gen ed done beautifully, with both teachers and students benefitting. I think sometimes the idea of...
Do you know anyone who has done this in your area? In my area, this is an absolute no-no. It's just not allowed. I've heard success stories from...
Small class. Heck, I'd kill for a small class of 20! Class sizes here are typically 30+, although I'm hoping for some improvements in the next few...
I actually think this is a great thread idea, although I'm not sure if it will get a lot of traction. If anyone wants to include common questions...
Thanks so much for the input, everyone. Immensely helpful and my fear of the big scary 6th graders has been put to rest. I love 5th grade for many...

LAUSD is hiring a ton of teachers this year, and there are always more jobs in special ed. As long as you do student teaching and have a couple...
Thanks so much, TeacherGroupie. Very helpful post. I ended up writing three cover letters: two specific to districts I wanted to apply to, and one...
In California, we teach up to 12 in the first way that you mentioned. 2x0, 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6 ,2x7 ,2x8, 2x9, 2x10, 2x11, 2x12 would be...
So, I tried searching but there are SO many threads about cover letters. I've always thought (and searches confirm) that a cover letter tells...
Smoked salmon is a regular part of my diet. I just love it. I buy it at Costco (great quality and just too expensive otherwise) and usually do it...
If you have a Costco membership or know someone with one, they have great cookware sets or smaller sets of just 2-3 pans. Make sure you never use...
