  • Dissertation Acknowledgement Ideas
    Posted in: academics_anon
    Posted 2 weeks ago by spravenwriter
    Hey A_A, I'm nearing the end of my dissertation journey! I'm in the editing phase and set to hand it out by the end of May. Unfortunately, I've hit a snag. I have no idea what to write in my acknowledgements. Not to be cliche, but I see this piece of my dissertation as the only place I can really be creative, so I was hoping you all would tell me about some fun ...

  • Math question - teaching multiplication
    Posted in: teaching
    Posted 3 weeks ago by wytetygryss
    Tags: teaching methods ,  elementary ,  math
    Location: I
    Hey all, I am currently teaching multiplication to my grade 3/4 split class. I have several students who show understanding that multiplication means equal groups and who can draw a picture or array to represent a multiplication question, but who then go back to counting the dots/marks/squares one by one to get their answer. I have been reviewing skip counting and talking about using doubles...

  • questions from a non-traditional student
    Posted in: academics_anon
    Posted 3 weeks ago by siraka
    In partial reference to the previous post: How do you tell a student that you can't write them a good recommendation? I will be applying to grad schools this upcoming fall for 2015 (taking a year off) and am wondering, if I do not meet the criteria to make the cut what can I do to tip the balance back in my favor? I stand at a 3.4 cumulative, just under 4.0 for classes in my field of...

  • Greek and Latin Word Roots
    Posted in: teaching
    Posted 1 month ago by livinsmall
    Hi again everyone. Thanks for all your help a while back when I was stumped on how to teach my kids about the perfect verb tense. I was able to use some of your ideas to come up with something that ended up working for my kids. But now I'm back with another language arts question. This time I'm looking for interesting ways to introduce and teach Greek and Latin word roots. Everything I keep...

    A few weeks ago, I came to you all for advice about my contract not being renewed and what to do. Thank you so much for your helpful advice! I have another question to ask you, sort of related. When should I tell my students that I won't be returning? What should I tell them? I work in a small district, so there's a good chance they already know that I won't be returning and that it's...

  • Surviving the teachers as a Substitute
    Posted in: teaching
    Posted 1 month ago by redheadedrebel
    The subject title doesn't fit perfectly, but I had a hard time creating a title in a few words. I'm so glad that I found this community! Okay so a little background before my question... I'm in my first year as a substitute teacher after completing a credential program in the previous school year. I'm doing a lot of subbing at one of the schools that I student taught at. I absolutely love this...

  • Cheating at the Doctoral Level
    Posted in: academics_anon
    Posted 1 month ago by marlowe1
    Mood: confused
    Is there a reason why anyone would get into a doctoral program and then pay someone else to write their PhD thesis? I'm dealing with that right now and I just find it really strange. I can see why undergraduate students would hire people to write their papers for them. I can even conceive of Masters students getting too burnt out to finish their Masters theses. Hell, I can even conceive of...

    Tags: classroom management
    I've posted here several times before and you guys have given me great advice. I'm a first year teacher in a high poverty school, teaching 8th grade. I have struggled a LOT with classroom management. The past few weeks have been a nightmare. I found out that I'm being RIF'd and the kids have been worse than usual. I have also been sick, and my dr. told me it was purely brought...
