[quote=Anonymous]I can only speak for myself, but as an ES teacher, I would like to see a number of things this Fall.  I’d like teachers to be assigned their grades, subjects taught, and classes as soon as possible to enable to being planning for specifics now.  We are gathering resources, but until we are assigned we cannot go into great detail with our plans.  We are ready to hit the ground running.  We know how much work is ahead and how important it is so we’d like to start preparing now.  Second, I’d like to know our schedules.  These schedules should be consistent so we can begin to create a routine for all.  Since I teach younger children, I’d like a plan that does not include children sitting in front of a Zoom meeting all day.  We know that whole group instruction at this age (think mini lesson with all children on the carpet) is not effective after about twenty minutes.  Children need to be in small groups and working on some assignments independently.  They need movement and variety.  They need intersection and homogeneous small group instruction as well.  Finally, I’d like us all to realize that we are on the same team.  No one is happy with our current circumstances, but we all want children to be safe, feel loved, and have access to an excellent education.  I am stressed.  I am nervous.  I feel overwhelmed.  We all do.  But it’s our job as adults to not spread that negativity to our kids.  [/quote]
