Teach for America dismissed me today because I missed more than 2 days of Practicum due to my seizure disorder. Mind you, I tried to come in multiple times last week and they sent me home each time. I feel like it was because of liability (they didn’t want to be responsible for me if I had a seizure) but either way. they dismissed me today and I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. submitted by /u/PuzzleheadedOne9036 [link] [comments]
HS Science teacher thinking about what I want to focus on improving next year. I feel skilled and ready to respond to real instances of behavioral infractions/cursing/threats, but am feeling lacking in responses to low-level negative comments - for example, about others being stupid, annoying, "slow" or "not locked in," or not wanting to be paired with certain students. Anything that is below the level of being overtly offensive, but still really important to get rid of in order to promote positive culture. I know the teacher community must have some zinger comebacks - please share your wisdom! Two more days of school here in NYC :) submitted by /u/sunbearluvr [link] [comments]
I am curious about your side hustles as a teacher? Do you work outside your teaching profession? Have you built something on the side? Did you quit teaching to work on something else? I am just curious to hear your stories. No Ai post. I do not want to sell anything. I am genuinely curious about your experiences and interests. Would really appreciate your answers. submitted by /u/Plus-Improvement-355 [link] [comments]
Students will be presenting environmental research projects they've spent the year developing during a virtual research showcase this Friday. We'll also be sharing highlights from our recent in-person International Science Fair, where young researchers came together to present their work, exchange ideas, and connect with peers from around the world. One of the most exciting aspects of the program is that selected students and their teacher/chapter leader receive scholarship support to attend the annual science fair. Please reach out if your are interested in attending the virtual event. submitted by /u/comicalsun [link] [comments]
I've been thinking a lot about how students are using AI tools like ChatGPT in their daytoday schoolwork. There's a real tension right now between two camps. Some educators and students feel like AI genuinely helps with breaking down complex topics, getting instant feedback, and exploring ideas faster. Others feel like it's quietly eroding the skills we actually want students to build: critical thinking, writing from scratch, working through frustration when something is hard. What I keep coming back to is whether the problem is the tool itself or how we're teaching students to use it. We don't ban calculators, but we still teach kids the underlying math. Could the same logic apply here? I'm curious what others have experienced, whether you're a teacher, student, or parent. Have you noticed a difference in how students engage with material when AI is involved? Are schools moving fast enough to set clear expectations, or are we mostly just reacting after the fact? I'd love to hear from
Background: our school system used to pay people for working ball games (not coaches, as we have a separate contract supplement, but ticket-takers, etc.) Recently they implemented flex time, where instead of being paid in $$$ teachers can substitute time working after school (games, chaperoning dances, etc.) for some of the post-planning days. But the amount of days allotted for flex time is far exceeded by the number of hours we are asked to work. Meeting an hour after school? Just log it as your flex time. Graduation practice after all the flex time's already been turned in for the year? Flex time! Summer planning day? Flex time! Is this becoming a widespread thing, or is it just a local problem (no, we are not a union state.) submitted by /u/JosephMeach [link] [comments]

A recent op-ed in the NY Times summarizes how declining test scores has created calls to restore No Child Left Behind, a 2.0 version of accountability. The author, who was also the architect of NCLB, argues that this is a silly path forward and addresses why the federal policy she worked so hard on was a failure. But she also recognizes the calls for more accountability. Like all education pundits, she offers no actual solutions, which in this case may be good, as her fingerprints are all over the original NCLB. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/opinion/schools-testing-accountability.html I don’t know what’s worse, the idea of breaking down the Department of Education like McMahaon is doing, or restoring NCLB. Is it possible to do as the author claims, where the federal government plays an accountability role in the summative results of the education system (civil rights, funding, access) while also leaving the formative missions to the states?

My partner and I are designing a new school workshop aimed at Key Stage 2 (Year 5 & 6) students. We are blending ancient history, roleplay, and the Socratic method to transform abstract geometric concepts into visual physical puzzles. This is our first time running a session like this (we have been facilitators before, but not for kids) and we would love feedback on ideas and general tips for classroom management. For context, we are both pivoting academically from design to mathematics and physics for me, and classical studies for my partner, all at the OU. Logistics & Setup: 5-8 students, 60 minutes, students spend a day in Ancient Greece. We hand out "Tetractys" clay pendants at the door, and they let go of their student identities to become "Mathematikoi" (learners). To goal is to build conceptual fluency and mathematical oracy, not really teach Pythagoras' Theorem. By embedding the curriculum in a mystery, if a student makes a miscalculation, it’s a plot point in the story, not a
I’m a recent college graduate and I just got a job for 8th grade ELA. I’m super excited to teach this grade because I know that students start tackling more complex texts at this age. The thing is that I don’t have any experience with middle schoolers. I’ve been a substitute teacher for high school classrooms and had a handful of 9th grade classes, which I didn’t mind even though they were chaotic. Every time that I mention I’m going to be teaching 8th grade, someone has a negative opinion about it. A lot of people have called me “brave”, which feels very backhanded. It’s been making me very nervous going into the school year because I’ve never taught this grade before. Middle school teachers, why do you work in middle school? What do you like about teaching this age group? submitted by /u/slusheemachinebroke [link] [comments]
Already tried the obvious routes. My high school still technically exists but their admin office told me diploma reissuance isn't something they handle anymore and pointed me to the district. District pointed me to the state. Been at it for six weeks. What I need it for isn't complicated. My original got destroyed in a move and I just want a physical copy to display. Not for employment verification, not for anything official. Just something to have. Wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but if you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. So I travel for work due to have a full time job. The money is good, but I don't want to do this forever. My goal is to get a degree in engineering. It's been a while since I was back in school and don't really know if any of my credits are still viable, so I don't mind retaking any classes, especially math courses. I don't want to quit my job just yet. Is there any online places I can start at with transferable credits where I can get all my foundational math, physics, etc. Out of the way? I know I will eventually have to attend class physically, but is there anything I can do in the meantime? Any online college or program recommendations would greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/IntroductionOne248 [link] [comments]
I’m going to try to condense a lot of information into a short post, so please bear with me! I am a preschool teacher and my school only has half days on Friday. My sister is going into fifth grade and her school has just announced that they are moving to a four day school week, meaning she has Fridays off. I went to the same K-12 school as she does, and I thought very little of the curriculum and academics there. It’s a very small, private school, and neither the school nor the teachers have to follow the same guidelines as public schools. As a result, the school hires under qualified teachers, chooses poorly designed or substandard curriculums (sometimes opting to use materials meant for second or third graders for the older students simply because it’s what they have), and they opt out of standardized testing. I have several family members that are the same age as my sister, and the school I teach at has a school age program in place for before/after school care and during the summe
Am I the only one who thinks teaching is actually being pretty active? We have quite a strict dress code at our school so my clothing options are quite limited. Between writing on the top of the whiteboard, squatting down to talk to students at their desks, and speed walking/ running across campus on my prep period, I feel like I am almost always on the move. Standard slacks pinch my waist, and woven jackets restrict my shoulders real bad. Plus, my classroom is freezing in the morning and hot in the afternoon. I recently got a comfy brami on a whim, which stretches like athletic wear but has a matte finish that can get past the dress code easily. I want to completely overhaul my closet to be this kind of stealth activewear, from my jacket, to the tops to bottom, even ideally shoes that look like dress shoes but are comfortable for all day wear. Does anyone have recommendations for brands or specific fabrics for clothes that actually breathe, don't trap sweat, and that you can move free

Not saying every night but at least one assignment a week. I have a feeling the class will be filled with students who failed US history in 9th grade.

So I've been through many jobs, such as working in a restaurant, warehouse work, working in movie theaters, working in commercial gyms, housekeeping, but I decided to make a career change to have an actual career, but I wanted to choose something in which I knew I'd be giving back, and be able to be a positive light to children, especially the ones that have none of that at home. I was never a scholar, dropped out of college 5x before actually completing it, and didn't really have any motivation to do anything else for myself because I didn't care about a career at all. I could really care less about the money I make. As long as I had enough to go down to the pub or something. But this, this profession doesn't seem like some mindless drone job. It seems like it would really give me some purpose. Because I feel like these kids need inspiration. They need a story off the beaten path. Hope I can churn out a solid career simply for the passion. So here's to hoping I'm in my dream professio

Hey, y’all just finished my 1st year of teaching after I finished student teaching last year. Didn’t have to go through a job search at all last year bc one of our teachers took a year of leave and they hired me 2 weeks before I finished student teaching. Had an amazing year this year in 6th & 7th social science. I got rookie teacher of the year and great letters of rec from my admin and mentor teacher. But now the job hunt has been brutal. My school wanted to keep me bad but they don’t have space in the department with the tenured teacher coming back, and nobody is leaving any time soon. My principal told me that if I didn’t have a position next year she’d have me there every week subbing, and that’s not a bad gig especially when you’re 27 years old living at home bc LA is impossible to find a house. But it’s just so hard when 170+ people applied for a job in the nearby district and I couldn’t even get an interview. This was the best year ever, and I seriously love the job but so far
I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea as a teacher. But every once in a while I’ll just get a kid who goes all out for me and there’s a really great mentor-mentee bond that happens. For me, it’s the kid from a broken home who’s a little reactionary and gotten in trouble in the past but realizes they’re smart and that they want more for themselves. And you see the wheels turning. You see them starting to do the right things. You see them make different choices and then you see their excitement when those choices pay off. I don’t know if there’s a thing where maybe we see ourselves in each other or what it is, but those kids make me feel like a teacher. The pay and the politics are awful. However, it’s those bonds that keep me in it. So, do you have a type of kid you’re just really good at teaching? And why do you think that is. submitted by /u/ChucoTeacher [link] [comments]

I always wondered what it was like back 50 or 60 years ago like back in the 1950s or 60s for kids that had learning disabilities. I know for kids with regular disabilities like Autism ADHD, Dyslexia. That many of them struggled and were had to work 75 times harder if they wanted to pass or succeed. My grandmother, who passed away in November. She taught third and fourth grade back in the 1950s. And I remember asking her what happened to kids who struggled and she told me that her superiors this was like back in 1955 or 56. She said that they would give the kids coloring books and she told me that she had one boy in her class who didn’t pay attention and her bosses just told her just don’t even bother with teaching him. Just give him a coloring book Or some building blocks. And even back then she felt really bad for him and she’s like no I’m not gonna treat him like a second class citizen I’m gonna challenge him just like all the other kids. obviously good on her. From what she told me,
Hi I could use some advice! So before I got this job, my sister bought me concert tickets in New York in October. Now I’m stuck with a really daunting task in asking off for vacation. Honestly, as much as I WANT to go, I think I would just be stressed out and wondering if the students are falling behind on material. Again it’s my first year teaching with very little experience (still in school even but taking a year off to focus on teaching). My sisters want me to ask for at LEAST 2 days off in October for it. I would not ask for any more than 3 I feel like it’s a bad look to ask for days off before I even START my job, especially for harry styles lmao… Am I stressing for nothing?

I'm already seeing signs between parents pressure and students under social media stress they are saying dumb things like "I think I'm going to take a gap year vs transferring to 4 year." LET ME TELL YOU - this is the WORST year to take a gap year in the USA. You will NEVER have a better chance at getting max financial aid or getting into a college or uni that used to have a waitlist. If you just spent all last year pushing these students to be ready to transfer please call, email, or text them. If you are a recruiter and you've been AFK for a month, grab those students. Your hot potatoes are getting COLD. You have to keep poking them, encouraging them, and enticing them to be there for the greatest Fall 2026 of their life.

I’ve been spending my entire year drawing blood out of a stone with this student. Final year of high school, on a good day we can write 2 grammatically incorrect sentences.

Somehow assignments are done (need to graduate) although sometimes a month late. Every subject is like this, and here university admissions are based on a percentile ranking so there will be no mark inflation to save this.

I am sharing this on behalf of the publisher, but I really think that this book could fuel a much needed conversation in this community. The book is called The Honor Code: Students, Integrity, & Our Path Forward by Tim Plaehn. It just came out through ElectraCast Books. Tim spent ten years as Faculty Chair of a school Honor Council and over 30 years teaching, and the book walks through four real student honor cases in full detail—what happened, what the hearing looked like, and what came after. What makes it different from the usual "kids these days" hand-wringing is that it's actually grounded in what happens inside these situations. He's not theorizing. He was the person deciding outcomes. For anyone in this sub dealing with the AI cheating wave right now, he makes a pretty compelling case that detection tools and zero-tolerance policies are treating the symptom, not the cause. The real fix is culture — and the book gets specific about what that actually looks like in practice. Avail

Last year, our company, Algae Research Supply was awarded a phase 1A Small Business Innovative Research Grant by the Department of Education. More than half of the world's photosynthesis is preformed by microalgae in the ocean, and in turn more than 90% of the strains of algae have remained undiscovered and uncharacterized. We are building a hands-on microbiology program where students isolate living algae from real samples and log their findings to a national science platform, all funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Phase I results: 117 kits shipped, nearly 300 students, real gains in science confidence, and our teachers even helped uncover algae strains with antimicrobial activity. Now we are recruiting teachers to prototype. Should we be awarded the grant, phase 2 will include several rounds over the next two years, and every selected teacher gets a free kit and full materials.

What happens when students are challenged to turn $1 into $100 in just one week? In 1 to 100, Alabama CEO students take on a challenge that pushes them far beyond the classroom. With only one dollar to start, they must think creatively, communicate confidently, solve real problems, and take action. What unfolds is more than a business competition. It is a story of transformation. Over the course of one week, these students build businesses, face rejection, adapt under pressure, and discover strengths they did not know they had. Many earned more in one week than most adults make in a month. But the real outcome goes deeper than money. Confidence grows. Mindsets shift. Students begin to see themselves differently. 1 to 100 captures the power of experiential learning and the impact a community can have when it invests in young people. submitted by /u/i_am_daniel_wilson [link] [comments]

Parents and educators sometimes avoid having conversations about grief with children because they don’t know what to say. Here are some tips for how to approach it.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately and wanted to get some perspectives from teachers, students, and parents here. It feels like there's a real shift happening in how learners tackle challenging material, and I'm not sure it's entirely for the better. A few years ago, struggling through a hard problem was kind of the point. That friction was where the actual learning happened. Now it seems like the default response to difficulty is to immediately turn to an AI tool for the answer, or at least a strong hint. The effort threshold before seeking help has dropped dramatically. What worries me isn't that students use AI, but that they may be losing their tolerance for productive struggle. Working through confusion is a skill in itself, and it seems like it's getting bypassed more and more. Have educators here noticed changes in how students handle frustration or ambiguity compared to even two or three years ago? Are there strategies that have actually helped students stay engaged wit

Just read an article about how there is a double standard around AI - with a lot of educational facilities (schools, colleges, and universities) rejecting it and forcing students to complete their work without using AI, so far as to face significant disciplinary action. On the flip side, corporate jobs recruiting basically have all their resources in developing AI solutions for their companies and proving upper management right now matter what, which is driving the dynamic that all hires need to have experience with AI at the least, and ideally being proficient in leveraging tools and understanding AI. Personally, I understand the college side of it because they want the kids to think and hone that side of their mind, not just plug questions in and get answers out. (I, myself, didn’t realize the real reason why we learn things all along the way until the very end of college - it’s not about the information 95-99% of the time. It’s about the students ability to understand it,using diffe
BackgroundMinimal intervention dentistry (MID) is promoted as a prevention-oriented approach to caries management, but its integration into routine practice remains uneven. Existing research often examines MID-related knowledge, attitudes, or practices separately, offering limited insight into how these dimensions co-occur within individuals or are conditionally associated. MethodsThis exploratory cross-sectional survey examined multidimensional MID uptake among 327 Romanian dental students, residents, and specialists from five university centers. Ten MID-related scores were analyzed, including nine formative composites and one single-item peer-norm indicator. K-means clustering examined uptake profiles, and Gaussian graphical model network analysis with stepwise BIC selection examined conditional associations among constructs. ResultsA two-cluster solution was highly reproducible but modestly separated (n = 144 vs n = 183; average silhouette width = 0.13; mean Jaccard similarities = 0
