As much as my school pretends like they are, the way they act around just teachers proves differently. I went to training a few days ago. Contrary to what they said would happen, we were not spaced out, temperatures were not taken, and there was no hand sanitizer available. Some teachers didn’t even wear masks while they were within 6 feet of others. Administration needs to set an example for teachers, just as teachers need to set examples for students. If only some teachers enforce masks while others don’t, it’ll make it hard for the entire school.

No. We start remote teaching in a week and our district can’t make a decision to save its life.

My district has a hybrid option with 3.5 hrs in-person and 1.5 remote (after travel/lunch) or students can be full remote. Our MS/HS classes meet in-person every other day and remote time is for interaction with remote and opposite day students. We are a pretty small school so I think we may be able socially distance better than a larger school.

Of all the plans that I have read/heard about, I’m not upset with ours. There will be things to that we haven’t thought of and changes that get made I’m sure, but I feel like we have as good of as a chance as we can to pull it off 🤞

Even with precautions, our school is too crowded to social distance.

I am a middle school social studies teacher and my husband is a high school art teacher. He has been an art teacher for a very long time and he’s not super proficient with Google classroom but I am. I have been helping him with lesson online resources & creating hyper docs for the lessons. He is struggling with the students not having a lot of supplies at home and how to have them create multiple day art pieces.  he teaches at a low income area, how is everyone handling supplies to students?

So, what if your kid is in a 6 person Montessori class with no interaction outside of their “pod”, serious disinfection and prevention practices and all the other parents are super socially conscious and aware. 2 teachers per classroom and no infections during summer school on campus.

Does anyone have experience working for Connections Academy or another virtual academy? I am very interested in teaching from home, but most virtual jobs I have reviewed still require you to come to an office/ school building. I want to know what it is like, specifically the work load.

I teach a 7th/8th grade self-contained classroom and I'm looking for recommendations on morning activities, transitions, and non-core subject matter.

I have a high level of ADD/ADHD students, so I was contemplating a Morning Meditation and/or Movement to help them focus more. I also would like to work on incorporating transition periods that will allow them to more easily convert to a six period schedule in high school.

I also enjoy teaching life skills, such as investing, and would love recs

Dropping this in a few bowls, sorry if you see it twice.
I'm transitioning from teaching 8th grade mathematics at a public school to teaching a 7/8 self-contained classroom at a charter school.
Any advice for teaching mixed grade levels or multi subject is appreciated: scheduling, classroom setup, subject order, behavior management, etc. I'm struggling to find my rhythm with only 6 weeks before kids return.
Thanks to everyone for your commitment and time, enjoy your summer!

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.
