“Hi everyone! I (25M) would love an advice and a reality check, because I really need someone with experience to guide me in this choice. I got the opportunity to enroll in a master’s degree program in EdTech, and since I’m from europe tuiton is free. I have a bachelor degree in…”
“Hey all! My teaching partner is about to go on maternity leave in March, and I'm feeling a little nervous about being on my own and having to plan without her support. I'm a second-year teacher, and my teaching partner is my direct subject partner. We do all of our planning…”
“Yes, I would do it if I wanted to be a SAHM or something for a couple years. I don't think you'll have any trouble. Schools will just treat you as a first year teacher. And you're in a high-need field. I guess if I were you I'd be more concerned about whether your health would…”

“Yes, I would do it if I wanted to be a SAHM or something for a couple years. I don't think you'll have any trouble. Schools will just treat you as a first year teacher. And you're in a high-need field. I guess if I were you I'd be more concerned about whether your health would demonstrably improve in 2 years, and if you get accustomed to not working, if you'd be able to handle the level of exhaustion you'll feel when you start again.”
“Hello! I’m (32f) a former high school English teacher about to have my first child in November. I’m going to be a SAHM, so I’m motivated to read about how little ones (ages 0-6) learn and get ideas for what stimulates their minds. We won’t home school, but education is a top priority in hour house so: I want to make sure I’ve got some good intel behind me and 2. I’d love a reservoir of playtime ideas that are fun and educational. With that in mind, what are your favorite books for early childhoo”

I got the opportunity to enroll in a master’s degree program in EdTech, and since I’m from europe tuiton is free. I have a bachelor degree in psychology, but for several reasons I had to move to another country. While my degree is valid here, the process to become a licensed therapist is a nightmare, mostly because the language is really complicated and it woul”
“I am 25 weeks pregnant. My HR director has me scheduled for leave starting November 20th since my due date is the 30th. This year, I have 7 students. I’m a moderate to severe disabilities teacher so they are with me all day. I have one aide and she is amazing. Our case manager is not. She leaves early and gets there late every single day. The principal does nothing. They expect me to arrive before my contract time and leave 15 minutes after our ended contract time for nothing. So I have been lea”
“I know this seems like a silly concern, but I'd genuinely appreciate some advice from those who have been in this position before... Fall semester begins soon, just as I'll be entering my second trimester. I suspect students won't be able to tell for the first couple weeks, but I will certainly start showing as the semester progresses. (Based on my incredibly increased consumption of fast food fries, my belly is going to be noticeable. And soon.) I have two courses: one a large lectu”

“You’re going to have to do a huge reset when you get back. Do the minimum now but plan for how strict you’ll be when you return. Prep for that and just get through the weeks when you’re still pregnant. Phone it in for August.”
“Hello everyone, I have recently enrolled in the ABCTE program, and I am having a hard time understanding some of the legistics. I have watched the webinars and looked through resources online, and am still confused about the program. I understand that there are two exams, the PTK and the subject area exam. However, I am confused about knowing when to schedule each exam and how long one should spend studying for each one. Additionally, I am unsure if I should be studying the PTK standards and the”
“After completing ITEP (B.A. B.Ed. 2nd major in history), will I be eligible for admission to M.A. in History, M.A. in Education, and M.Ed ? I am confused 🤔 submitted by /u/Plenty-Rub-6616 [link] [comments]”
“Hi all 👋 I need some advice on navigating maternity leave and the logistics of it. I have a high risk pregnancy and had to hold off on announcing until I was 5 months. Once my dr gave the clear, I went ahead and notified my hr and admin early June right after we started summer break. I wanted to give them time to make some changes based on the news and they did. They changed my position from 1st grade to 3rd grade, which I really appreciate since the incoming 1st graders are feral. I didn't”
“I am teaching an agriculture class and I have this student who is blind. The agriculture practicals like land preparation, harvesting or management practices are really difficult for her to perform. As a teacher how would you deal with this situation to ensure that every student is taught equally and gains equal skills... please advise. submitted by /u/Ok_Performer2814 [link] [comments]”
“A colleague suggested I read this, and it's not bad... but it seems to range between genuinely good advice and pop psychology, depending on the section. I'd appreciate hearing what others think of this style. (I've read what was said on this forum - and othera - between seven and 10 years ago, but it appears to have been ages since this was brought up. Back then it seems to have been wildly popular.) submitted by /u/Medieval-Mind [link] [comments]”
“Hi everyone, I’m looking to get some hive mind thoughts around a particular topic - delivering sexual health education in UK schools. I’ve been thinking about making a career change for a while and for years this has kept coming up as something that I’d like to explore as I’m pretty passionate about how dire my education was in this topic but also so aware of all the red pill content currently out there and wanting to somehow make a difference! I’m just wondering how up to date my info is and if”
