If the trend is to give a student 50% for doing nothing then can we extrapolate that philosophy to teacher evaluations? Why should that ole 3/4 represent such a broad range?

I agree. I have been so frustrated by this over the past 10 years. I have only been near the top of the 3/4 score once in my career ( scored a 34). I have participated in committees, been a mentor to every new teacher in my department, make creative lessons, and actually teach. I have always been lumped in with others who are consistently late to work, don’t teach anything, never participates in committees, gives ALL of their students 100’s and leaves school right after the buses. 3 more years and I’m out.

I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.

And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?

I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.

Thanks in advance

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

1. Hands, feet, mouth, arms, legs still (a veritable challenge)
2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.

To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?

Drop your classroom management ideas here. For my school it sure is nice to have a principal who supports a no phone policy.

I can manage my classroom better if I don’t respond to emails outside of office hours. This gives my mind a break and by consequence refreshes me for the next day. It also sets a boundary.
