[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious how you guys know what the teachers are doing when you don’t see them on the screen? [/quote]

I can tell you:

- creating and differentiating materials for the never day since absolutely nothing we’ve used in the past can be used in this format without heavily adapting it for content and virtual completion 
-tracking, compiling and submitting data for students who receive interventions 
-attending endless GD meetings. Parent conferences , IEP reevaluations, LT, department, school faculty , mandatory monthly PD hours we have to log 
-calling families of students who aren’t attending or completing work because heaven help us if we can’t show that we did everything short of going to their house and making them do the work 
-creating videos and sending them to students who didn’t understand and need more help or can’t make it to class and need the instruction [/quote]

thank you, you sound like an exceptional teacher and not one the OP is referencing here. This post doesn't apply to ALL teachers. [/quote]

But truly this IS what most of us are doing with our time. Just because OP doesn’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It’s not fair to claim teachers are “taking advantage” and “putting in minimal effort” when this is HOURS of invisible work we do every single day to make the few hours of instruction you actually  see even possible.

Monday is an entire day committed to this, and at least at our school/grade, the entire grade of teachers takes turns creating weekly lessons and "recorded live reading". Sorry, but I see no excuse for the lack of more 1:1 and small group interaction T-Th. [/quote]
