Substitute teacher

to the front entrance of our middle-sized classroom. “Shhh!” “Here she comes!” He shouted, “Hurry up everybody!” “Run and jump in your seats!” “I hear those high-heels moving closer.” During the late 1960s, most teachers enforced strict student discipline. My second-grade teacher, Ms. Ellen Crump, for example, was needle thin and a sharp conservative dresser. She strutted a tall black hairdo (with grey roots) against her brown skin. On top of that, her personal character was connected to a…

In the required reading Creative Strategies for CTE Teachers Handbook, I discovered several techniques that I have embarked upon as a long-term substitute teacher. The three strategies that I felt most connected to and plan to use are: Grouping your students for Cooperative Learning, Writing Strategies, and Strategies for Encouraging your Students. Firstly, I prefer to use the technique of grouping students together in a classroom. Pairing up is helpful too, but to divide the students in…

classroom neat and orderly. Teachers must contact their building principal if they need a substitute for any planned-ahead days for professional or personal leave. Lesson plans should NOT be left on a teacher’s desk or personally given to their substitute. That information should be given to the building secretary. It is also a teacher 's responsibility to see that the appropriate form is completed and returned to the principal upon their returning to school. Teachers must pass the rigorous…

in a content area, then the school needs to hire or move an educator to that area. Our school uses data to determine how and where to use substitute teachers in the building. Depending on the number of educator absences, substitutes will be used in the major content areas over resource areas. Other teachers will be asked to cover those classes without substitutes. The school does use the data correctly to ensure the operational and strategic decision making of the school. Using data to allow the…

grade science teacher. The class was very boring and ordinary compared to the other classes in my middle school. My teacher, Mr. Febris, was the one who taught the science class for 5th period, but boy was I always the first one out the door when the bell rang. There were times when I would tap my pencil continuously like Britney Spears did in her “Hit Me Baby One More Time” music video. Students used to love when the teacher would call off for the day and we would get a substitute teacher, then…

Lesson planning is important because it helps teachers to make sure that the everyday activities that go on in their classrooms are providing learners with a good level of lasting progress toward what they want to achieve outlined in their sequence, as well as their individual education plans. Without lesson planning, it is easy to get off track with one’s class and miss out on educational targets. An effective lesson plan includes several elements: learning objectives, quality questions,…

letter of recommendation for Sharon Keeton. I have worked with Sharon Keeton for the last sixteen years, and she stands out as an excellent educator and a caring individual. Sharon began her career at Toms River High School North as an English teacher and then obtained her certification to become the Media Specialist at the high school. Because of this, I have had the ability to work with her as an English department colleague, and then work alongside her in the Media Center as she led my…

The Test In the city of algebraic there was a young boy who had the name of Bob. Bob was in a extremely dangerous situation. He was in the middle of… maths. His teacher mr.Hazefraz who had a minor problem with anger issues. Right now he was yelling at a poor boy who unfortunately got a roman numeral wrong in a quiz. People might call this type of act child abuse but that poor child who goes by the name of Al G. Braic was too busy getting abused by mr.Hazefraz to point that out. Enraged Bob…

Like I had mentioned earlier teachers will be provided with less vacation days; therefore their attendance would be increased (uscanton.com). Studies have shown that 94% of teachers have missed nearly eleven days each year due to the use of vacation days (ncla.org). Also, having an extra open day would be beneficial for athletes (usnews.com). In every season…

During the colloquium class, it was very fervent and sad because we talked about child abuse or neglect and we as teachers, need to be alert for any sign of child abuse or neglect in our students. As, my facilitator taught us to take into consideration that the first-person reporting is the teacher who the teacher has a responsibility in the classroom to report whatever we see on the student’s body, and check if there are any changes in the student behavior. In this colloquium, Charlie talked…
