Hybrid teaching is not a โkill two birds with one stoneโ strategy. Itโs a โthrow a stone at two widely separated birds and miss bothโ strategy. #OntEd
I think my teacher evaluations for the year are done, goes something like this: You pivoted, adapted, you were flexible & persevered, you were resilient, you showed grace, you worked your tail off & you did it! Thank you, thank u! What educators have accomplished is unbelievable!
In case you are wondering how hard teachers have been working... I woke up today at 6:30 (bc my brain wonโt shut off) and started working on my Canvas/Modules. I snapped my work wife @JamieLooby and she was doing the same thing ๐ #TeamNoSleep#TeacherTired#virtuallearning
If I had a nickel for every time I said, โFriends, remember to mute your mics!โ today...well, Iโd be relaxing on the beach at some far way island ๐๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐ผ
MARCH: Teachers are going above and beyond.
APRIL: Teachers are heroes and deserve our support.
MAY: Teachers should be millionaires.
JUNE: We need to cut school budgets.
JULY: Teachers need to go back to school.
AUGUST: Teachers are selfish and donโt care.
I donโt envy School Boards right now. Do a search of โ(district)+schoolโ for anywhere who just went virtual ๐ณ. The fact that parents/voters think 1) VA schools are run by teachers unions ๐ง 2) teachers get great benefits and 3) we have amazing pension plans are all laughable
