I would be more than a little upset. We use other teachers when possible, voluntarily during free period to cover. Our school also decided to hire full time and long term subs, they report everyday.
If we run out of subs the specialists and interventionists cover it. I’m sorry, it just doesn’t feel fair. Helping out is one thing but hey, can you teach some art while you’re subbing?
Right?! It's to the point where the 7th graders (i only teach 8th grade this year) think I'm a building sub.
Old thread but school starts in a month and sincerely hoping this situation has changed.
Visual art as a subject tends to be less understood and has lower "value" than music or P.E. in administrators' and parents' minds. It's the first to be cut. I refused to get a Masters in another area because I know I would have been pulled half time from art. The students lose out!
My only suggestion is to take what you can from it. You can pick up some strategies, maybe some discipline ideas from being in other classrooms. Make curriculum connections. Hope for a better next year.
Yep, happens about once or twice a week to me.
Well good news, not sure how many subs our on our list yet but they upped the pay big time! Hopefully no subbing for me this year!
We have a contract that will now allow that to happen.
