Now, I have to list ...I remember teaching that way.<br />Now, I have to list the resources I used to create a lesson. Huh? I thought I was the resource. I would think I should be fired if I couldn't create a lesson plan where I had to go get outside help. Isn't that what I was hired to do? Isn't that why I majored in my subject area? <br />I got "needs improving" on my evaluation when I said I was the resource. Then I had to have 2 formal observations the next year.<br />Now I make up stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-85001748828157245602015-08-23T09:30:27.931-06:002015-08-23T09:30:27.931-06:00Our teachers endured the same torturous 2 hours. ...Our teachers endured the same torturous 2 hours. While I see the benefit to some subjects for this new tech cart/tv thing, there were MANY including myself who don't have one and will never have the cart (electives, PE, etc.), yet we were still expected to sit through the entire presentation. Even in the remote chance that we would ever use it, do you think we'd actually remember anything from the training years from now?? <br />How about "yeah, electives and PE, since we know you don't have this and won't be using it, please take the time to work in your rooms since we realize you are about to be bombarded by 60-80 kids in your classes. We know your time can better be spent elsewhere." No, that would make too much sense....<br />Please see my comment regarding overcrowded classes in response to the post on 8/22Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
