[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember trying to get a schedule ahead of time to see if I had already take some of the trainings. It was laughable they all looked at me like I had 3 heads. Now I just schedule my kids stuff and let the PD slide ( leave early or come late as needed). If it were that important I should have had the schedule at least a month in advance.
Dear Gatehouse,
Treat teachers with respect and have the schedule done so we can schedule appointments without missing time with kids.
It is respectful. You did after all give the school calendar for the next 3 years, so back to school weeks aren’t a surprise.
Thanks![/quote]
The employee calendar was released the last week in June, for the FY starting in July.  Up until that date, no one knew if we had off July 3 and 4.  Everything is now micro managed through many layers of review and mgmt. [b]Manage your expectations[/b].[/quote]

Ha- my employer can also manage theirs or deal with lots of resignations and retirements.  If you are someone who plans for teachers, you have to know that you are also being poorly managed and spinning wheels not knowing what is happening next is a symptom.  Think behavior management for the classroom: Being clear is being respectful and kind.  Not knowing breeds disharmony and under engaged participants because so much energy is being used to “what happens next.” rather than relying on predictability and routine.

If these people were still in the classroom, the kids would be rebelling because expectations weren’t set.
