Thank you sooooo much for a breakdown! I'm a paraprofessional but will be on my own for Elementary Art & Technology (K-5). The school I'm going to didn't have an Art/Tech teacher for the '23-'24 school year & the principal said they go by TEKs for curriculum and no lesson plans. So, I'm starting from scratch for both subjects & this has helped me navigate. Once I'm given access to more information (most likely the 1st day of orientation in August) I can navigate clearer. I have no formal training other than what I research extensively & groups from social media. I appreciate the information you have to give & the template!!
You're very welcome, Elaina! We're glad the breakdown was helpful. Starting from scratch can be challenging, but it sounds like you’re already taking great steps to prepare. Once you have access to more information, it should get easier. Best of luck with your new role in Elementary Art & Technology! ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
Nice work, looking at your views ya obviously got a Hit on your hands cuz you clearly show in detail with honest explanations how to be a competent teacher and that's what many are seeking. What would be amazing is if you explain in detail various scenarios where the plan has to change due to students not doing the work and not interacting with peers since they know you really can't make them cuz that's what really happens so knowing what try next will be very useful to teachers.

Hello there! It's great to hear that you've enjoyed the courses, and I appreciate you sharing your situation. It sounds like you're facing a challenging decision regarding a teaching position in a new country. We can provide you with some advice to consider as you weigh your options: Salary and Benefits: While salary is important, also consider the overall compensation package. Does the new position offer any benefits such as health insurance, professional development opportunities, or retirement plans? Calculate the total value of the package to get a clearer picture of its worth. Job Satisfaction: Reflect on your personal satisfaction with the job. Teaching 3rd grade as a homeroom teacher might offer a different experience and set of challenges compared to being a Spanish teacher. Think about which role aligns more closely with your passions and strengths. Long-Term Goals: Consider your long-term career goals. Will taking this position as a long-term substitute align with your plans for career advancement, license renewal, and personal growth? Will it offer opportunities for skill development and progression in the future? License Renewal: Investigate the requirements for license renewal in the new country. If the long-term substitute position doesn't fulfill those requirements, it could potentially create obstacles for your future career prospects. Ensure that the role you accept aligns with your professional development needs. Negotiation: If you're interested in the position but have concerns about the salary and contract terms, don't hesitate to negotiate. You can express your enthusiasm for the role while discussing your salary expectations and the possibility of a more suitable contract arrangement. Alternative Opportunities: Explore other teaching positions in the new country. While this opportunity might be one option, there could be other schools or institutions that offer more favorable terms and a better fit for your career goals. Research the School: Research the school thoroughly. Check its reputation, reviews from current or former teachers, and its approach to education. A positive and supportive working environment can greatly impact your job satisfaction. Talk to Professionals: Reach out to other educators who have experience in the new country's education system. They might offer insights, advice, or recommendations that could help you make a more informed decision. Financial Considerations: Assess your financial situation and how the offered salary aligns with your needs and lifestyle in the new country. Ensure that you can comfortably manage your expenses with the salary being offered. Follow Your Gut: Ultimately, trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right or align with your values and goals, it might be worth considering other options. Remember that this decision is about what's best for you and your career. Take the time to thoroughly evaluate the pros and cons, and don't be afraid to seek advice from mentors, colleagues, or professionals in the field. Good luck with your decision-making process! ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
Great question. You do not differentiate standards. The standard is the same for everyone. It is a benchmark. You differentiate your instruction so students can meet the standards. You do that through interventions, scaffolds and accommodations/modifications. For example, for student who is having trouble meeting the standard, you might provide small group instruction in the skills or sub skills they are struggling with. Not every student will meet the standard at the same time. Some need more time than others. You also do not have to water down anything. You can push students towards higher-order thinking and still support them and meet them where they are at. Hope that helps.
you have no idea how grateful i am for you and your channel 🙏🏼
