Dear Fibromyalgia, I really don't know how much longer I can continue to work this afternoon was awful 😞, too many things to deal with, I used to love teaching but it's just so hard 😞.

ATTENTION ALL EDUCATORS( Admin, Staff, Teachers): Research indicates that productivity and effectiveness can have a sharp decline after 50 hours per week and after 55 hours can result in nearly no additional benefits.
The negative effects however increase significantly:
1) Decreased Productivity: After reaching around 50 hours per week, the efficiency and output of work often start to decline. The quality of work can suffer as fatigue and burnout set in.

2) Increased Stress and Burnout: Prolonged work hours contribute to higher stress levels and burnout. This can lead to mental and physical health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue.

3) Poorer Decision-Making: Overworking can impair cognitive functions, leading to poorer decision-making and problem-solving abilities. Fatigue affects judgment and reduces the ability to think critically.

4) Negative Impact on Work-Life Balance: Extended working hours can encroach on personal time, leading to imbalances between work and personal life. This often results in strained relationships and reduced overall life satisfaction.

5) Higher Absenteeism and Turnover: Employees who experience burnout and stress from excessive working hours are more likely to take sick leave or leave their jobs entirely. This can lead to increased turnover and additional costs for recruitment and training.
Many sources, this is just one:

@GovMurphy @NJDeptofHealth @vaulthealth Why is there no discussion on your end about the teachers who are now sick and can’t be with their families for the holidays? How is that fair to them? Teachers were placed in a difficult situation without support.

@RutgersAltRoute A6 #AltRtEd #SpED Disciplining students with disabilities is different that gen ed. You need to know your student, why there is a behavior, what strategy works, remain calm, always praise the students and redirect them using calm tone.

[M Dominguez @MJDominguezQ]

@RutgersAltRoute A5 #AltRtEd #SpED The tips from Weinberger I will use is keeping directions permanent on the board and tell them what steps to work on first. Also keeping a whiteboard checklist for school and home so they can keep track of work to complete.

[M Dominguez @MJDominguezQ]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 #AltRtEd #SpED In my classroom I give them charts to write their ideas and keep track. We chunk the work down and they have a list of steps to follow.I give them stress bands and allow mini breaks to get the energy out.

[M Dominguez @MJDominguezQ]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 #AltRtEd #SpED Teacher can create a differentiated learning environment for them. Writing directions on the board and chunking the steps down. Having a daily check list for them to keep track of their work. This will create a routine for them. Also looking at their strengths.

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: General Education Teachers can support Special Education students succeed in the classroom by using strategies such as chunking directions, providing organizational assistance, using novelties or allowing for movement during class. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[NAIO @NAIMAO10]

@RutgersAltRoute Teachers can give accommodations, differentiation in instructions, and treat every student individually and know the student's needs. #AltRtEd#SpEd

[Daniela Santos @Daniela47479998]

@Principal_H @RutgersAltRoute A2: Firstly, letting them know we all learn differently, so it’s welcome when you ask me to explain it a different way or repeat directions again. You have to get to know them as well and have them collaborate with you in their learning. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[j0. @j0_hanna]

@Principal_H @RutgersAltRoute A2: #AltRtEd #SpEd I always aim to teach my kids to say "no thank you" and to request help. My learners have ASD and range in abilities - all are 1:1 and I always worry that one day someone will take advantage of them. I teach them to say no, leave me alone when necessary.

[M Dominguez @MJDominguezQ]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 #AltRtEd #SpED The best was to help students to become self advocates is building a relationship of trust where they can come to you share concerns. Praise them for the work they are doing and help them find ways of learning. Teach them to embrace the way they learn.

[M Dominguez @MJDominguezQ]

@RutgersAltRoute A1 #AltRtEd #SpED The biggest challenge is creating an environment that takes into account each students needs and responding to them in the moment. Students need the attention and as a teacher you have to create the appropriate environment that will help them do the work engage.
