Re: Should I sub??
Posted by question on 10/17/09
I too am subbing, trying to get noticed.
Usually, I arrive, sign in, say good morning to the people I
enoucnter in the front office, go to the classroom, saying
good morning to adults i encoutner along the way, arrive at
the classroom, read the lesson plans, teach/supervise the
class, try to get to know adults in the building during lunch
or whenever. Usually everyone is so busy doing their own job
that I often feel like "they" are not getting to know my
teaching style and personality. sometimes I feel pretty
invisible, except with the kids. Any suggestions? On 10/06/09, CityTeacher wrote:
