You can’t look at your phone 2 hours before orientation to see the teacher is Mr Brown ? |
Yes of course. There’s one less class for that grade level though, so sizes are just bigger. |
| We got an email today confirming class assignment letters will be emailed by COB Monday. So a week before school starts. This is in line with past years experiences. |
| In an email sent this week, our school said they’ll email teacher assignments by close of business Wednesday 8/14. Our open house is 8/15. This is typical for us. |
Yes, it says VACANT next teacher name, but the kids are still placed in a class. |
Oh man that would really suck. Has anyone ever had this happen and did you get a teacher eventually? How long ? |
Teacher here. My team was in the scenario this past school year. The kids had a long term sub and then a teacher trainee. |
A different year they gad a long term sub and they hired a teacher in February. Some teachers may be destaffed this week though once official numbers are done. |
What do they learn while the sub is there and how long did the teacher trainee last? Wondering what the success rate is for the trainees. |
Typically at my school it is a long term sub unless they can spread the kids into other grade level rooms. |
I moved to the area many years ago and replaced a long-term sub at the end of January. She was a mom that had subbed for 10+ years and I was a certified teacher. The classes were departmentalized so I had about 80 6th graders. All but 2-4 students passed the SOL. This was at a Title 1 school. It tough but not always a complete loss. |
| It depends on the school, our ES said Tuesday |
Glad to hear that that worked out. I don't think many people move to this area anymore because it is very expensive to live here especially on a teacher salary. Probably most new teachers are from the area and can live at home. |
Luckily the sub was a retired teacher. Honestly the kids would have learned more as the trainee was a mess. They didn’t leave and they are continuing to teach at a different school. |
I'm guessing the trainee was thrown to the wolves. That's a rough spot to be in. |
