[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand they might have booked trainers for that Friday 10/28 staff development day, but I would like to see them try to switch that to one of the asynchronous learning days instead.[/quote]

I was a teacher before constant training was offered/required.  I don't understand the need for so much training.  My opinion:  it is to justify all the people who work in higher headquarters.  They have to justify their existence.

Is it really worth the expense and disruption?  [/quote]

X 1000. [/quote]

As a sub, I agree. 99% of my subbing is for training, not teacher absences. As a parent, I find it appalling the kids miss so much instructional time. The subs don’t actually teach (I would, but that is not the plans I am given.)[/quote]

The only time I will teach is if the teacher knew I was going to be there way ahead of time. [/quote]

I’m the PP and the teachers know I will be there weeks ahead of time. They still don’t leave actual material for me to teach. The students work on projects, or do reading comp, or write stories or whatever. I’m definitely not teaching any new content, even though I’d be more than happy to.[/quote]
