[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully they cancel all ice breakers[/quote]

SDTs love to break the ice. Wish they would treat us as professionals. 🧊[/quote]

Do you think that professionals in every other office job *don't* have to do ice breaker activities at least once a year?[/quote]

Teaching is a second career for me. No, we never had ice breakers at my other jobs. Maybe a quick “my name is Larla, I’ve been working in the field for x years, and before this job I focused on blah blah blah with that other firm.” Now I have to talk about what super hero I am and what is my why. I have to fill out exit tickets at the end of meetings to share how I will use the information presented.

I also have to engage regularly with coworkers about my cultural background during cultural competency trainings. Trainings are important. Discussing my family traditions and times I have been discriminated against, on the fly with coworkers I’ve never met, when I have a pile of legally mandated paperwork that I’d really like to complete is not the best use of anyone’s time.

To answer the question, I DO look forward to meeting the kids and getting to know them. I DO look forward to collaborating with a few of my very creative and talented coworkers. [/quote]
