How do you keep the rest of the school out of your supplies? When I became the Art Teacher I would dumpster diving for the items other teachers threw away ( got a lot of great stuff) because I was always too late to get my PO order for supplies purchased before funds ran out. Out of five years I have only gotten supplies twice. However , I can’t seem to get stocked because the rested of the school would come get things when they needed something. Some things I would get myself until my days were cut. Now, I just make what I have work.

I ran into that in my school. Took me a few year to change that culture. First priority is to get your orders in. That was a struggle for me too!
Second is to lock your supplies so people can't just slip in and take stuff. Also mention that the art dept has a budget for art curriculum just as other depts have their own budgets for curriculum and needed supplies . Good luck. It didn't get better overnight.

I’m in an old Science room as well! (Entering my 3rd year at this school) Really make it your own and utilize the wall space and open floor plan for a nice flow to your classroom procedures. My students love the natural lighting from our big windows.

I think being able to group students is best, and large tables are ideal. Then you have to consider traffic patterns, and access to sinks, etc. Important displays should be away from splashing water. Lucky you to have that storage!

I like to organize by each medium, keeping all needed things for each one in a defined area. Thinking of it as an assembly line process from start to finished product. Storage of wet paintings is still a struggle after 10 years.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.

It only took me 7 years to figure this system out.... posting in case it helps anyone else! I color coded my classes and printed off numbers according to the number of kids in my classes. I then assign each kid a number that corresponds with my gradebook. When they turn in their projects, they put their number with it. This way, no contact and I can easily see who has and hasn't turned in their projects yet. I take the list down once they remember their number.
