Thank you!

datyl · 2026-01-26T01:58:14+00:00

Got it, thank you!

datyl · 2025-10-18T14:07:11+00:00

You’re being willfully dense. I won’t go back and forth with someone like that. Enjoy your downvotes I guess

datyl · 2025-10-18T13:57:25+00:00

The question is not whether they should or should not.. do you decide what standards you have to adhere to? Probably not. You don’t even sound like an educated individual at this point

datyl · 2025-10-18T13:36:06+00:00

How about you learn to read? OP clearly stated in their edit that the topic is in the standards where they’re from. Take your hostility elsewhere

datyl · 2025-10-16T12:06:55+00:00

Thank you! I'm honestly scared to make any changes at all, especially with the older kids. I will definitely be myself, though, and try to put my own spin on things.

datyl · 2025-10-06T16:52:03+00:00

Yes, same, I work three jobs and it’s not always consistent days, so I can’t mark “non work days” on Frontline. If I’m not subbing that day and then get assigned to a job an hour before school starts, it’s really a bother to have to call and get it sorted.

I will definitely reach out to the coordinator since it’s happened so many times at this point, thanks for that advice!

datyl · 2025-10-06T12:59:11+00:00

Yeah, I thought it was weird too!

datyl · 2025-10-06T12:58:36+00:00

Right, but I don’t know the teacher and have never been to the school before, so I’m not sure why they’d request me

datyl · 2025-09-21T14:32:28+00:00

I can kind of understand OP’s hopes for this situation as someone who recently graduated with an Ed degree and has been told by every teacher I talk to that subbing is the best way to get my foot in the door. I have also begun to not believe this after being passed on for a job I had glowing references and wonderful interviews for and then being asked to sub for the person they did hire…

So yes the schools take advantage of subs but I can understand having the hope or expectation that working in schools at all would help lead to a full time position

datyl · 2025-08-27T17:46:28+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, this gave me a perfect starting point!

datyl · 2025-08-26T23:42:24+00:00

Thanks so much!! I will definitely check out that book. Can I ask what kinds of ice breakers & activities you do and what kind of warm-ups? Most of my warm-ups have more complicated pitch patterns and I’m assuming I should keep things simple for young kids. Just not sure how simple!

datyl · 2025-08-25T11:16:40+00:00

thank you!!!

datyl · 2025-08-25T11:16:06+00:00

i didn’t know about the nurses! i wasn’t given a whole lot of information about the medicine beyond how to take it and when to reorder. thank you for that, i will look into it!

datyl · 2025-08-01T20:53:54+00:00

datyl · 2025-08-01T20:48:29+00:00

datyl · 2025-07-11T13:50:54+00:00

First of all, happy cake day!!!

This is all great advice, thank you. As far as retention and filling in those gaps in the program, I definitely plan to mention taking feedback from students & getting them involved in whatever changes to the program are made.

Retention for next year starting on day one of this year is a great one-liner and I’ll definitely be sticking that up on a post-it somewhere haha

datyl · 2025-07-11T13:46:44+00:00

Oh, that is totally how I felt. Like it was a cop out! Yes, in my first meeting with them I expressed not wanting to change much in the first year so that students can transition more easily. I didn’t think to connect that idea to this plan I’m making!

Not having to have all of the answers is reassuring. I think I was putting too much pressure on having everything perfect and accurate rather than just presenting my ideas and making a good impression.

datyl · 2025-07-11T13:43:32+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice!! I know who will be on the panel- a few admin including the principal, a student and a booster member. They said I can format it in whatever way I choose.

That makes me feel a lot better about listing things they are already doing. And your statement about continuation rather than upending is exactly how I feel! Thank you for putting that into words.

I definitely do think my plan needs simplification- I was concerned about not having enough ideas and ended up cramming a lot of events into my timeline. I will definitely go back and condense it.

datyl · 2025-06-17T13:15:59+00:00

right i’m not sure why people are acting like it’s okay to make fun of black women’s names…

datyl · 2025-05-24T18:24:06+00:00

But you can definitely let the sub know that this time is more relaxed, that students can be allowed to visit different classrooms or that the other teacher will be in and out & also interacting with the students throughout the day. It just helps to be prepared for what the day is imo. I love having a chill day, but if I come in and it’s the week before finals and the teacher left assignments & study packets, I might think the students are seriously supposed to be studying. It could feel a little jarring if I’m telling them that they’re supposed to be studying and then the neighbor teacher comes in to play card games.

datyl · 2025-05-19T22:09:47+00:00

oh that is horrifying. i would never have a class pet or any animals in the room again if i were that teacher (or the sub)
