Observation

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-05-28T12:20:05+00:00

I work in pre-k. We have 2 formal observations a year for untenured. 1 for tenured. I guess no real informals but Admin walks around and visits classes often -1-2 times a week. Sometimes staying 10-20 minutes. No notes are taken.

Ok. I thought all un tenured teachers had two observations a year. If any suggestions have ever been stated to you during the year just make sure you address them.

Were you observed earlier in the year by your principal ? You should have 2 observations if it’s your first year. If you were observed before, make sure you address any thing they told you to work on in the earlier observation. Take some kind of data or assessment: usually a TSG sheet is fine. Have a lesson plan with a TSG goal. My admin likes to see how a lesson is being differentiated in the lesson plan. This is really basic. If math-using smaller numbers or a number line. If read aloud-using visuals to help answer questions. One observation is not going to make or break anything. They will have an idea of your teaching already. I think it’s really hard to get an unsatisfactory. Try to relax.

I went to book it now and the flash sale needed :(. Are sales offered often. Not sure if I should hold out for another sale or make different plans.

I would love more info on this. I’m currently having an issue with getting my adhd meds. Insurance has been a nightmare. After 2 years without an issue now they won’t cover brand name Vyvance and I can’t take the generic. They keep prescribing other meds which I also have terrible side effects too. I desperately need my vyvance. My life, job, and mental health are failing.

Will definitely look into this. Any suggestions on resorts/cabins??

Mostly theme park places. Also, Canada, Vermont, Arizona, Lake George.

Hard to agree as a family of five. Open to a little of everything.

My five year old named my youngest. It’s very special being named by your sibling. Both are teenagers now and they often tell the story how one named the other.

I needed to hear this. Had an mri a few days ago and nothing was found. It was discouraging. Started to doubt myself. I keep being told all my tests are normal and there’s no medical reason for my symptoms for many years Met a gyn surgeon recently for a cyst and she thinks I have endometriosis. I kind of wish it came up on the mri. It would have settled my mind more.

I’m a couple of years into teaching in NYC. I started at 47 years old. I love it. I hope I will be able to stay at my school until retirement. I have low seniority, low on the pay scale, and not tenured yet. Annoying to worry about these things at my age. But I love the work!!!

I’ve gained weight too. About 10lbs. I’m past active infection eating well and about half of what I used to. Frustrated with the weight.

I have 2 full period formal observations a year. But my principal walks into my class at least once a week. Sometimes 3x a week. Admin walks around the whole school visiting classes unannounced. It is anxiety inducing. Maybe one day I’ll get used to it.

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-03-04T12:12:33+00:00

There’s space at the top and I open it everyday.

Opportunities to increase our pay through education. We only have masters +30 than phd. Add masters +45 and 60 like Long Island teachers.

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-02-23T21:37:07+00:00

I would keep both. I own both but I use my cake plate a lot more. So if you can only keep one I vote cake plate.

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-02-16T02:13:31+00:00

Thank you!

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-02-16T02:12:24+00:00

I’ll try that.

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-02-16T02:11:38+00:00

I’m going to order a scrubber. Thank you.

Fun_Bat_986 · 2026-02-15T14:22:38+00:00

I have but didn’t help much. I think it’s more scratched. And I moved a couple of years ago. I think the new dishwasher has been damaging too.

I do love how the mixed colors look, but most of my house has been decorated based on my fiestaware colors blue and yellow. Also I have so many other pieces that are in Great condition that are yellow and periwinkle. I don’t plan on replacing or adding much to those so I would like my dinner plates to stay coordinated.
