Surviving the MTTC Social Studies Test: My Bumpy Journey

Confession time: I just flunked my second round of the MTTC Social Studies 84 exam. Yes, AGAIN.

When Test Scores Overshadow Real Growth: My Classroom Dilemma

Have you ever poured your heart into something, only to be told it wasn’t enough? That’s where I am now. Picture this: I’m called into a meeting, greeted not by encouragement, but by a Google slide parade of numbers showing my students’ lack of growth on IReady. The rest of the school? Apparently thriving. Me? Not so much. But here’s the twist—my class is a mosaic of new arrivals, chronic absentees, and kids wrestling with more than just math problems. I’ve spent this year nurturing their social-emotional growth, watching them bloom in ways a test score can’t measure. Yet, all admin sees is data. Now, after seven years at this grade, they want to move me. Irony, right? Where’s the value in invisible victories? Have you faced this contradiction? What would you do? Drop your thoughts, challenge my perspective, or share your story below. Maybe together, we’ll find a way forward. 🌱😤📉 #EducationJourney #TeacherStruggles #StudentGrowth #Education

How I Jumped Into High School Without Middle School!

Confession time: I’m 14, and I’ve never set foot in a middle school classroom. Not once. When CPS showed up at my door in sunny Arizona (don’t ask why, it’s a long story), they were shocked I wasn’t in any school at all. My mom had her reasons, but suddenly, I was told I needed to get an education—fast! Here’s the twist: every school wanted proof I’d finished middle school, but I had nada. No transcripts, no test scores, just a lot of confusion. So what did I do? I asked, I emailed, I begged for advice online. And guess what? With a little persistence (and a lot of awkward phone calls), I finally got accepted into a high school! 🎉 If you’re in the same boat, don’t panic. Reach out, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to admit you’re lost. Maybe you know a better way? Drop your wisdom below—let’s help each other out! 😉 Isn’t it wild how life throws curveballs? I’m still figuring it out, but hey, at least I’m not alone. Would love to hear your stories or corrections if I missed something! 🤔✨ #EducationJourney #HighSchoolTips #LifeHacks #Education

Surviving 20 Credit Hours While Working Full-Time: Is It Possible?

Confession time, my friend: I once found myself staring down the barrel of a 20-credit semester while juggling a 40-hour workweek in bustling Chicago. The dream? Dual majors in SPED and General Education. The reality? A calendar that looked like a Tetris game gone rogue. 😅 Was it madness? Maybe. But with color-coded planners, caffeine-fueled nights, and a stubborn refusal to give up my weekends, I made it through. Did I lose sleep? Absolutely. Did I gain wisdom? Even more so. The trick was ruthless prioritization and asking for help when my brain started melting. But here’s the twist: I still wonder if I missed a smarter way. Did you find a hack I didn’t? Or did you crash and burn? Let’s swap secrets and save each other from summer classes! Drop your best (or worst) strategies below.

Surviving the PECT Exam Gauntlet: My Epic Struggle

Confession time: the PECT exams in Pennsylvania have me in a chokehold! I bravely took all three modules at once—guess what? Only conquered the first. My second attempt at modules 2 and 3? Module 2 score actually dropped! (Can you believe it?) Still waiting on module 3 results, but my confidence is somewhere between a lost sock and a forgotten lunch. 📉 Despite worshipping the official practice guide, the magic just isn’t happening. Each retake drains another $50 from my wallet—ouch! I need to pass before the next school year or my dream job stays just that: a dream. 😅 Have you cracked the PECT code? Or maybe you spotted a study trick I missed? Drop your wisdom (or roast my study habits) in the comments! Let’s outsmart this test together, or at least laugh at our misery. Any advice, hacks, or even rants are welcome! 🥲 #PECTExam #TeacherLife #StudyStruggles #EducationJourney #Education
