Thank you so much Alicia. I really appreciate the feedback from everyone. The thing that was hard for me is that I asked him what would make my room look more like a classroom, and he told me that their should be centers, and it should be more co...

My bet is that it's not how your classroom LOOKS so much as your admin's unfamiliarity with what you do and your students' needs. Been there done that game myself as our building has had a history of a new principal every two years (which means I'...

Thanks. I thought that might be what I need to do. The thing is, I have put up some signs, but he still keeps telling me that my room doesn't look like a classroom. He told me that he can go into any classroom in the building and know what the kid...

My supervisor hinted around as to the same type of thing. What worked to make it look more "classroom" like was I hung signs with symbols on them. Above the nurses desk it is "nurses center" we also have a media center, art center (where we keep t...

The high school unit is focused on jobs (assembly lines, farming, restaurant workers and lawn care workers.) Suggested lessons are creating an assembly line to produce bags of candy to sell, having a poinsettia sale, and going out to eat. Each cha...

Yes, I have been there. This is the hard part of believing in "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all". I hope that you can work through some of the resentment you have with your district so it doesn't poison you in yo...

Kate Ahern replied to Lindsay Carpenter's discussion 'Explaining Behavior Interventions to Resistent Team Members'
I tend to see nurses as the most problematic members of the team as well, in twelve years of teaching I have noticed that they like to feel powerful and as if their role as medical providers is far more important than that of any other provider. T...

The nurse is upset because the aide got bitten? Administration should step in, even if they are busy. I would approach admin again and ask for them to just meet with you and nurse together as a mediator for 15 minutes - surely they can spare that?...

I had something similar happen last year. I had a student who had severe autism. He was highly intelligent, but his behaviors were so severe that they got in his way. He would hit himself on the head so badly it would result in bruising and he wou...

smart boards

i am wondering if any of you are using a smart board in your classroom? I am wanting to write a grant to purchase one for my classroom. During our in-service for my district, they stressed "technology" as well as "lack of money". During all of the technology videos, chats, discussions, and so on, the discussion was on smart boards and how it enhances and enriches the students experience.
