[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 20 year teaching veteran that is new to an MCPS middle school. I was given zero training on how to use Canvas or Synergy. I was also not given instructions for what is required to be listed on my syllabus. Also wasn’t told about deadlines AND due dates. All I was told pre-service week was a long list of deadlines.

Canvas homepage due this day
Hang all of these things on your wall by this day
Decorate your physical classroom by this day
Update grades at least every 2 weeks
Record and post your BTSN video a week before the actual event so parents won’t come to the real thing
Complete the following online trainings by a certain day: blood borne pathogens, staff health awareness, test security, Diabetes 1, Leader in Me, Compliance training

In between all of this are grade level and department meetings and emails with their own action items such as creating bitmojis and photo collages.

It’s week 2 and I am still getting 504/IEP info one kid at a time via email from counselors. I file the email into a folder in my inbox but haven’t actually read over any of them because I’m too busy actually planning for my classes with what little time I have left. To compensate for this, every 3 days I’ve spent the majority of class time sitting individually with students missing assignments while the rest of the class runs a mock. I have to do it all online because nobody has shown me how to use the copier to scan, etc.

I’m also a parent to a young child stating the Child Find process. I know how unrealistic all of the accommodations my kid needs are given the terrible working conditions of MCPS. [/quote]

Get your kid into private services.  You cannot rely on MCPS.[/quote]
More with the back-door private school recruiting.  :roll: [/quote]

Do…you not understand the difference between “private services” for SN and “private school?”[/quote]
