[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's not in the curriculum, then we don't talk about it.  Doing so would mean basically winging it and bringing up a potentially traumatic and politically charged event with no script, learning target, or approved materials. That could get awkward quickly, and it's a good way to jeopardize your career.  And, of course, have certain parents up in arms.  [/quote]

I'm very concerned that you mentioned having no script. Do you only teach things with a script?  If so, that's incredibly sad.

Does everything in your classroom have to have a learning target? You can't have a teachable moment in which you check in with your students regarding their feelings about something that has happened? If not, that's incredibly sad.

I've been teaching just under 30 years and [b]I've never used a script for teaching anything. Ever.[/b] The only time I use a script is during standardized testing, but that's not instructional.[/quote]

FLE/Human Growth and Development lessons are pretty much scripted. Benchmark language arts lessons amount to a lot of script reading.

So elementary teachers and HPE teachers. The other teachers are not scripted regarding how to teach their curricula.[/quote]
