Split classes take away joy! We have 6-7 classes at each grade level and they split 1-2 into the remaining 5 so we can have a 5 day schedule. Big classes plus the classroom culture homeroom teachers work so hard to achieve are ruined. Advice? (Plus we are told to "not be negative" by admin.)

Yep, I hate the extra large groups too! Sorry I don't really have advice I just cope.

I found it was more effective to simplify my projects and goals with an overly-packed schedule, to not overly stress. If administration complained to ME, I said "I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances", and that shut them up.

Ugh I remember they did that one year with kinders. They split one class between 3. Imagine their excitement each day to see the other class (rowdy) and coming from 2 different management styles.

Do all firms share utilization reports for all staff with everyone? I feel like it’s awful for our company culture to share everyone’s stats office-wide. Just breeds anger and bad vibes all around.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Anyone here have experience with schedules on a 20 day rotation? It’s my second year at a new very large elementary school.

Would love to hear how others in this situation have dealt, especially with organization of schedule! I need to have the whole 20 day schedule visible somehow so I can plan

I cheated... we aren’t supposed to do real art in the morning. We watch an art video and discuss in the morning, then in the afternoon we post an instructional video and the kids do a small project at home... I cheated yesterday. I handed out air dry clay and went to town with my 3rd grades.... the kids said it was the most fun art class ever. I will get in trouble for passing stuff out, but I needed it. So did the kids. Best art day all year!
