I can't relax and recover in bed when I have a sub covering for me. I'm always looking at the clock thinking, "9:20 - have they collected those permission slips for tomorrow? 10:15 - do they know our library time changed?" etc.
The best form of PD is to have someone watch your class and give you some feedback. Doesn't have to be an administrator. It's very hard to evaluate yourself because you're too busy in the moment.
Instead of admin doing walkthroughs, they could do "tag outs."
They take over your class so that you can walkthrough another teacher's class.
Admin learns about your class, how they learn, classroom behavior & relationships.
Teachers learn new ideas for lessons & management.
@Bored_Teachers I've only had a severe situation like this once. I told myself this is my job, this is what I signed up for, and just focused on getting through the year.
In the end the group dynamic among students turned out to be manageable.
The parents' dynamic, though...
Coming back from vacation I'm always 'grumble grumble I want to sleep in longer grrr' but when I'm actually in class, it's great.
Mondays are my favorite day and the first Monday back after break is my super-favorite.
I find that no style of teaching 'hurts' - if you scaffold with images, models, actions or whatever, it's good for both those who need it and those who don't.
@ModestTeacher Can't teachers and schools make that call? I've taught in many settings; smartphones are fantastic in some and a disaster in others. Governments will likely make a knee-jerk, one-sizes-fits-some decision.
Teachers, please don’t give your students assignments over winter break.
Let them enjoy the time with their friends and family.
The same goes for you principals…
