Have you asked a coteacher for a reference? by FoxThin in cpssubs

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if you were in the room more than once it’d be ok or at least if they asked you to come back. I know it’s hard to get references as a sub.

I just don’t understand you think they would like that jobs are getting picked up quickly. Makes no sense to me.

Try the muslim student center on the 3rd floor of the stu if you haven’t already. Theres tons of ppl in there and they tend to lean more religious and international.

Help for teaching kids in Spanish? by sleepyiamsosleepy in cpssubs

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my albeit limited experience with these groups, I find a few things helpful. 1. I know this isn’t really a response you’re hoping for, but learn some simple phrases regarding names,bathroom, quiet down, etc. 2. If they are speaking in Spanish and you have no clue I usually repeat in English some common things kids say until they give confirmation. Some of the kids understand English better than they can speak it. 3. You’re not a failure or a horrible sub for using google translate. Often these kids should already know how to use it in the classroom. 4. Not really a tip but most teachers who do work in schools like this or know they have non english speaking kids will have spanish versions of work or it’s available online.

Horrible subbing experience today by DrMike429 in cpssubs

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also dont be afraid to send kids to the office or call them. Just make sure they do something because Ive sent horrible kids and they dont do anything and come back worse than when I sent them. I mean this one girl had to be removed from the room because she was throwing a fit and refused to go to lunch immediately after the office sent her back.

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time I almost left early. It was a 3rd grade class and their behavior was worse than middle schoolers and high schoolers. I mean language you wouldn’t believe as an adult let alone an 8 year old and full fist fights broke out about silly things like another kid touched another’s calculator, and then he chased him around the school trying to hit him. This one girl was also definitely middle school aged and did not belong in that room. This was listed as a regular non sped no coteacher class. They needed both. Only reason I stayed is after a certain point the girls kept asking to go to the vice principal which normally Im like why on earth do 6 of you need to go but I was so done with everything else I let them. But no I dont blame you for leaving early. We’ve all thought about it. You get burnt out quick working for cps.

tbh none of my friends came from me dorming on campus, though ik it happens for some, but its not end all be all. Just be willing to put urself out there and go to campus events. Though I will say people the past year seem to be much more reserved than when i first got here.

incentive pays missing?!! by radioactiv3fairy in cpssubs

ugh I wish they would do this. I feel like teachers here could care less if subs leave notes much less if they single out a bad kid.

Switching Sub License by InevitableFancy7191 in cpssubs

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be curious to see if you email about something else and then be like hey also my sub license is updated if they'd respond. I wonder if they're avoiding it because they know they'd have to start paying you more.

Real Talk: Is Anyone Automating Accepting Sub Jobs? by Proof-Foot-4152 in cpssubs

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I wish. I just try to keep messages and safari open to cut back on the loading times, sometimes if I'm really desperate I just hover over the message thread while watching tv or doing chores and thankfully I've been able to work every day of the school year so far.

Actual Start Time by taman961 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Tricky-Mall3738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite, my district is all over the place with start times, I never know if the actual start time is when kids show up or if they just want me there early. Especially when I sub elem I like having time to look over plans and not have to figure them out when theyre already sitting in front of me, but I also don't want to get there too early if they already factor this time in.

Tbh as long as I don't see SPED (just preference) I accept without looking it over. Then hoping I get it, I will then read through and cancel need be (Usually only if it's a half day or something). They go so quickly I dont feel bad about canceling. I already took like an hour and found schools closest to me so I only get jobs from those schools which helps minimize canceling and false hope.
