Remember the ego high school au

Where all the egos are teachers? You can’t tell me this doesn’t happen at that school

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRpgrGLH/

ABSOLUTELY XD

It's probably Phantom and Anti blasting the music, Chase and Jackie cheering for the running kids, Dark not bothering to stop it since it's getting the kids to get to class, Mare is trying not to laugh and Marvin's sitting to the side with Mad, drinking some tea while Mad is confused as to why the music is making the kids run

Schema, baby, schema! 😺 #Repost @edutopia ・・・ A purely skills-based approach to reading instruction—where kids are introduced to unfamiliar subjects and then drilled on strategies like summarizing and finding the main idea—ignores growing research into “the crucial role of background knowledge in comprehending what you read,” writes Holly Korbey. It also leaves behind many low-income kids, English language learners, and students of color. ⁣ ⁣ After a decade of tanking reading scores, Baltimore City Public Schools took a deep dive into the cognitive science of reading comprehension; the district found enough convincing evidence to upend its traditional ELA instruction. Now, students still learn typical ELA skills—such as figurative language and sight reading—but they’re grounded in concepts they’re already familiar with from other classes. So, while studying “the U.S. colonial era in social studies, for example, students may read anchor text about the American Revolution, hold a Socratic seminar on the beginnings of the war, and then write an essay defending one side’s position using the vocabulary they learned in ELA,” notes Korbey. ⁣ ⁣ When students read about something they have baseline knowledge about, “they’re able to retrieve more information about the topic from long-term memory, leaving more space in working memory for comprehension. They’re also better able to absorb and retain information, because knowledge—like Velcro—sticks best to other related knowledge,” says Natalie Wexler, author of The Knowledge Gap. ⁣ ⁣ Link in bio.⁣ ⁣ #Teacher #TeachersofInstagram #TeachersOfIG #Classroom #HighSchoolTeacher #ElementarySchoolTeacher #HighSchoolTeacher #TeacherTips #MainIdea #ELA #ELATeacher #EnglishTeacher https://www.instagram.com/p/CpT4UtfrJeMPwTU5_WQfd34EwF_JnXlMV9pvRk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi Eyes! 1st time sending an ask, hope it works 🤞

So I saw this fun imagine recently w/ HighSchoolTeacher!Hobie; y'all work in adjacent classrooms and the students are shipping ya's hard, not knowing their fave teachers are already doing the nasty >:3

Then I visit your blog today, and I realize how much funnier this scenario would be with LoserTeacher!Hobie

The favourite of all the students, in their eyes the beloved punk carries that cool confidence of a grown-up, but when he's around you the illusion shatters. The man can't hold eye contact with you, sometimes they catch him watching you from a distance like a crushing teenager...

One time you touched his arm and they *swear* they saw his knees wobble!

You're always so calm and collected though, it makes some room for doubt, and keeps the rumour of your relationship a popular, and hotly debated topic in the lunch hall...

He pops to your classroom to borrow smth one time, but can't help stumble over his words like a fool when he sees ya in that one outfit that gets his heart *racing* ((he KNOWS you know what that does to him!))

Quickly making his escape, your class are all laughing and joking about it. And while ya get them to hush and focus back on their studies, internally yer thinking 'I am absolutely WRECKING that nerd tonight >:333'

This man is not beating the Simp allegations any time soon lmao

sharp red triangles

He showed the teacher some of his songs.

Played them to her, rather; the tracks he’d recorded at home: and she listened with this surprised, smug form of oppression.

And picked up on the one mistake in the entire fleet of recordings.

Then at the end she said, rhetorically, “Do you have any happy songs?” with her lips in sharp red triangles.

He was fifteen, then, and she was in her late fifties; and he was already far more accomplished than she was, musically: it’s just that she had the power to abuse him in her small highschoolteacher role, whereas he was only a pupil, only small.

Posted @withregram • @nouvelle_ela 🎭 It’s here! ☀️ Resources for #RethinkingTheClassics for ANY Shakespeare play! . @teachingliteracy and I share supplemental texts and curriculum updates to make #TeachingShakespeare more inclusive. We’ve organized these by background topic, theme, and essential question. Our goal is to save you HOURS of work making your unit more informed, inclusive, and student-centered. . Shakespeare’s work is the PERFECT part of your curriculum to reshape because it was malleable and transient in its origins. It wasn’t until the 18th century that we got The Text as something sacrosanct... you can use this part of your curriculum to explore what The Bard means to folx from all backgrounds and how it endures in conversation with new art today. . Comment below and let me know what Shakespeare play(s) you teach 👇🏼 . This resource is on sale today!

Ink Month 2022 Day 6

Day 6: Haunted

“Are you sure you can handle this?” Jackie asked as he and Phantom handed their ‘tickets’ to one of the students sitting at a little table. 

“It’s a ‘haunted hallway’ made by some of the students. How bad could it be?” Phantom scoffed.

“You’re just a bit…jumpy.” Jacke chuckled.

“I am not.” Phantom pouted a little, looping his arm through Jackie’s and letting him lead them into the beginning of the decorated hallway. 

“Hi, Mr. Boiman! Hi, Mr. Phantom!” Robbie greeted with a wave of his sheet-covered hand. Phantom always got a little kick out of the kids calling him by his first name but adding the ‘Mr’ still. 

“Hey, Robbie.” Jackie greeted back. “Love the costume.” He added with a gesture. Robbie wore a white sheet over his body, loop-sided holes cut out for his eyes and mouth and a hand-made sign hung around his neck that said ‘Boo’. 

“Thanks! Me and Blank made it together. Follow me!” Robbie spun on his heel and started walking. 

“And you were worried,” Phantom whispered his giggle to Jackie 

“Better safe than sorry.” Jackie chuckled back, looking around at all of the decorations the students had made. They were cute drawings of ‘scary’ things. Ghosts, zombies, nothing that really would give anyone the creeps. It was a school event, they were probably told to hold back as well. 

“Found Blank.” Phantom pointed where he was looking, showing Jackie that Blank was wearing a costume as well, the same thing as Robbie. 

“Cute.” Jackie could see students moving behind the blanket walls, the lights making them look like shadows. “They seem to be having-” He stopped when all of the lights suddenly went out and a high-pitch laugh came from behind them. Phantom was about to say something when a scream happened in front of them and it scared him enough that he jumped up into Jackie’s arms and yelled.

“Got them!” Bim’s voice laughed in the darkness before the lights were turned right back on. 

“Told you it would work!” Yandere popped up from behind them. “Are you okay there, Mr. Phantom?”

“I am perfectly fine.” Phantom huffed as if he wasn’t being held in the air by Jackie.  

“Good job, guys.” Jackie chuckled. “Got us good.” 

“Mr. Brody’s coming!” A different student called. 

“Oh! We have to set up again. Bye!” Yandere waved as she and Bim took off. 

“‘How bad could it be’?” Jackie teased when the kids were gone.

“Shut up and put me down.” Phantom tapped at Jackie’s chest. 

“No~” Jackie sang and kept walking.

“Jackie!”

Ok so I fucking love my band teacher

Our school district is weird so every class has to teach math (ew gross). But it’s band so... we play the entire time? My teacher’s method for getting around this bs rule? Confuse the hell out of the principal. What follows is a summary of their conversation, according to my teacher:

Teacher: Great. So, is there anything else?

Principal: One last thing, how do you work math into your curriculum?

(I should add, that as a typical American high school, we are completely centered around football literally no one gives a shit about the arts. My band made it to NATIONALS last year and the announcement we got was: “(teacher’s name) brought a /team/ of band students to nationals.” And that was it. So basically, the principal knows pretty much nothing about band. Anyways, continuing with this story..)

Teacher: Well, you see we have the typical 4/4 time, which when subdivided into eighth notes gets you 2/4 time, or if you’re feeling the mood 4/8 time. Sometimes if you want, there is a special time we use for special occasions such as waltz’ called 3/6 time, where it is counted in 2 and written in 6. (As he is saying all this he is writing random crap on the board, scribbles and a bunch of notes and numbers and is confusing the hell out of the principal) So! That’s the first part of the math we do in class. Would you like to hear more?

Principal: No.. no that’s enough. Thank you for your time.

My class: *cheers*

Posted @withregram • @meetthecreature We’re back! While not quite as morbid as this one, I did assign a book report to my IT classes. A lot of Heinlein, Vonnegut, Asimov, etc. Get them into some of the classics! If you’re like us, you’ve been trying to figure out what to do next now that we’ve shut down the world. Rest assured, classes will continue online for the youngsters. My wife has even started reading to her students online and has picked up a lot of followers both in and outside our district. Oh, and if I haven’t mentioned it already… Happy St Paddy’s Day and WASH YO HANDS!

中国家长的问题，关于加拿大高中如何申请大学

跟中国相比，加拿大没有高考！那么加拿大大学又是如何录取学生的呢? 虽然没有高考，加拿大的高中生要想进入名牌大学的好专业学习，也并不是那么容易的。加拿大教育局表示，学生的期末考试仅占总成绩的30-50%，其余的50-70%由平时的每一次作业，每一个小测验，每一项project﹙课题﹚和presentation﹙演讲﹚以及课堂上的参与意识、出勤等因素综合评定而成。总之，一门课要想得到好成绩，就要付出持之以恒的努力，就要积极地参与。 加拿大各大学也有自己不同的学生选拔制度。由于加拿大联邦没有专门的教育管理机构，教育的管理由各省政府负责，这造成了加拿大中小学教育体制的差别，加拿大各个大学对学生要求也不尽相同。所以提前研究好目标大学的招生要求是非常重要的。

大学申请相当于中国高考生的填志愿。尽管会稍有差别，加拿大各大学对学生入学申请的内容要求基本上还是相同的。一般的入学申请在大学官网直接递交申请, 或者建议可以撒网方式的申请多所大学, 需要提供这几方面的文件：学生基本信息，所选择专业，11或12年级成绩单，个人陈述，以及其他辅助申请材料。在这需要重点说明”个人陈述”文书部分是非常重要的! 成绩虽然是关键但是体现个人课外义工经验也是非常重要。需要让大学入取官知道多年的义工经验是为了申请的大学专业来做准备的。

APPLY BC: 这是官方的网站用于申请多少BC省大学, 非常方便!

是否需要亚斯成绩!? 需要新来的家长注意的是，大部分大学对8年级以后才来加拿大的学生（低于4年本地学校英语学习时长）是要求考出雅思A类6.5， 各项平均不低于6， 才可以达到英文的入学要求。

成绩多少才够? 加拿大的大学招生一般要求是递交5-6门的11或12年级的成绩单，计算学生综合平均成绩作为入学参考，而有些专业对递交的课程科目还有专门的要求。达到可录取成绩线，只是说达到了申请大学的“基本”条件，而最终是否录取还要看学生的综合能力如何。像UBC这样加拿大的一流大学，可能要求学生11，12年级平均成绩85以上，一些好的专业可能要求平均成绩超过90分。

加拿大中学成绩算法解读。加拿大中学平均成绩的算法跟我们国家有所不同。例如学生的出勤率是占到总成绩的一定比率的。其次，学生的完成作业情况也是占分数的。再者，学生的课堂表现等等。具体的笔试考试只占到最终成绩的一小部分。这样的话，只要学生学习态度认真，拿到相对高的平均成绩是不难的。像BC的学校，其各门课的成绩由平时成绩和期末成绩共同决定，平时成绩占70%，期末成绩占30%。占比例通常依据个别老师课程的设置而不同! 期末成绩的考核可以通过考试，也可以通过作业进行。

加拿大大学入学时间。有了中学毕业证书，有了大学预科课程的成绩，加拿大的中学生就可以申请上大学了。而对于申请和入学的时间加拿大人向来都是相当随意的。加拿大的大学一般分冬季、春季和秋季三个学期，在这三个学期都可能招收新生入学，而大部分新生以秋季入学为主。秋季入学的学生一般需要在三月底前提交申请，在六月初就可以接到录取通知书了。如果有更多的问题也欢迎留言讨论喔
