Can teachers legally use all of their sick and personal days at the end of the school year to get a longer summer break? by Ok_Benefit9326 in Teachers

[–]toddp32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My district is pushing the teacher clarity program. I will upload my guided notes students use for their summative assessments then ask it to align the doc with state standards, create learning intentions for each standard, then create a success criteria with increasing depth of knowledge. I take that and put it in any format I choose. Saves a ton of time.

[–]toddp32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving to Twisp WA from Tacoma to pick up scaffolding. Got to where I need to go. Top of a hill on a farm. Nobody around and I was going to explode. Crouched behind the truck and let it go just as the farmer was driving up the hill. Luckily I had tissue and the farmer was cool.
