If a teacher faints and there is an assistant I will have the assistant watch the class while I help the teacher who fainted. I will have the teacher sit with her head down and when she says she feels not dizzy I'll help her to a chair and notify site coordinator then get her some water. If no assistant I'll appoint another student to go get site coordinator and say that the teacher fainted while I assign an independent activity to the rest of the class. After that I'll help fainted teacher to chair after she says she's not dizzy and get her some water

If two kids are fighting I will separate each one and have each one tell me their side. Once I get both sides I will ask the students what they could have done differently and have them apologize

Last year one girl was raging at another girl telling her she lies and tried to hit her. I had the offending girl sit i n the back of the class then I held her hands at her sides so she doesn't hit looked at her straight in the eye and told in a firm voice that hitting is not acceptable. The next day I had her stand next to me in line because I sensed she was gonna start fighting

If myself and another staff member disagree we'll discuss it privately when class is not in session

if a lesson plan isn't working I'll just stop the lesson and talk to the class to find out what they are feeling, if something happened, what kinds of things interest them. If they are upset about something that happened we will talk about it. If they don't like the topic we'll take votes on the class' favorite topic to learn about. If the class in general is feeling sad or angry we will talk about the things that make them feel that way and have a feelings circle with happy, sad, mad and the things that make them feel like that

if a parent is angry about a decision I made I will explain my reasoning for making that decision. If the parent is still angry I will discuss the situation with the site coordinator to find out what to do.

if a lesson plan isn't working I'll stop the lesson and talk to the class to find out what topics interest them, if something happened earlier that day, what the general mood of the class is. If they don't like the topic we'll take votes on favorite topics, if something happened we'll talk about it, if the class is just anxious or sad we'll do a feelings circle with happy, sad, mad, worried and list things that make us have those feelings

if a parent is upset I'll listen to the parent to find out why and if possible try to come up with a solution if I can't then I'll discuss it with the site coordinator.

if two kids are having a disagreement I will separate each one either in a corner in the back of the class or on the bench at recess. I'll talk to each one separately to find out their side and then I'll ask them what they could have done differently. Afterwards they will apologize

At LLS I would research lesson plans during the weekend and plan out the learning objective, the goals to meet that objective and the activities the students would do to meet the learning goals and have it turned in by Monday well before presenting it on Thursday. For example they read an article about running and they had to name at least two ways running helps them

At LLS I would research lesson plans during the weekend then determine the learning objective and the learning goals to meet that objective then the activities to meet the goals and have it turned in by Monday before presenting it on Thursday. For example I did one lesson plans on animal riddles. The learning objective was to learn to use clues to figure out what they are reading then they read several riddles and had to figure out what animal it was based on the riddle

If two different things are due at the same time I will look at each one to see which one needs more time to finish and give the one that needs more time more of a priority and then work on the one that doesn't need as much time. If there are different deadlines I will look at both the due date and amount of time required. I will give more priority to the one with the closer deadline and needing more time then work on the one that needs less time. I make a mental note of what needs to be done each day and spend time time each day working on the things I am planning to finish that day

if a student keeps misbehaving I find some incentive system to apply to the whole class to motivate them to produce. I am working simultaneously with 2 sisters one of whom is fooling around continuiously. I told them that for every 4 worksheets done they will get 1 sticker. I timed each worksheet and on the character description one they had lots of good words so I gave them 2 stickers for 7 worksheets done. I also plan to use a 1 to 5 scale or a clipchart with 5 being top and 1 being bottom. At 2 we talk about what well do to improve and the next to bottom rung on chart we talk about what well do to improve. At 1 or the bottom of chart parents are called. If the problem persists both myself, parents and site director work on behavior improvement plan. If student is completely out of control both parents and site supervisor are notified immediatley

if parent is upset I'll listen to find out why and if possible we both try to find a solution. If I can't I'll discuss it with site director

if two students are fighting I separate them then get each one's side then ask what could have been done differently then have each one apologize. If it's in the class after apologizing I'll ask if they think they need to sit away from each other. If they say no I'll watch them carefully to make sure no more fights happen

if lesson isn't working I just stop the lesson and we have a class discussion. I'll ask if they like the topic. If not, we take votes of favorite topics to learn. I'll ask if something happened making them upset. If so we take a few moments to talk about it and then ask about something they would like to do after the lesson and make sure to do it after lesson is finished. I'll ask about general class mood. Next we'll have a feelings circle where we list things making us feel sad, happy, mad, worried. Then I'll find out something that they would like to do after lesson that make them feel happy and I'll make sure to do it.

a stakeholder is someone with a vested interest in seeing the program work. It includes employees, parents, directors, funders

to promote the program I would would suggest having a welcome back parent night where the parents meet program staff and child's teacher and they can hear about the program schedule. I will also let parents know they can contact or email me giving out my contact info. I would also suggest having a focus group/survey where we ask both kids and parents what they like or don't like about program. At LLS they had a program skit at the end of the year put on by students and I would suggest that each grade holds one for the parents to see. I would also suggest sending out leters and word of mouth to inform parents of events

At LLS I thoroughly research the lesson plans online first coming up with learning objective then learning goals and activities to meet those goals. For example I had a lesson plan where the learning goal was to use clues to figure out what they are reading and they read several animal riddles and had to figure out what the animal was based on the riddle.

if multiple things are due at the same time I look at each one taking into consideration how much time is needed to finish it as well as the due date. I spend more time and begin sooner with projects that require more time and have a sooner deadline

some ways I would promote program are suggesting a back to program night where parents meet child's teachers/program staff, sending home notes to parents on what the kids are doing in class, talking to parents about areas their child is strong in/needs work on, have an end of year skit put on by kids that parents are invited to watch like we did at LLS. Inform parents of events with letters home and word of mouth. Let parents know I'm available through email/phone

one way I would suggest promoting the program would be a back to program night where parents meet program staff and their child's teacher. During that time they get an introduction of the program and see examples of activities done in the past. Another suggestion would be a focus group/survey on what kids and parents like or don't like about the program. A 3rd way would be for me to send home letters explaining what the kids are doing in the program as well as word of mouth. Like we did at LLS I would suggest an end of year skit where the kids in each grade put on shows that the parents are invited to attend. I will let parents know I am available by email and phone and make sure to include both the positive things I see as well as what needs to be worked on when talking to parents

if students are behaving inappropriately to other students/staff I will pull them aside and explain that the behavior is inappropriate and remind everyone of class expectations of kindness to others. Last year as a sub we agreed on signals that both students/teacher would give each other if we were saying something that could be offensive

if students are behaving inappropriately towards staff or other students I will pull them aside and let them know its not acceptable and have them apologize then I will remind everyone of the rule of treating others with kindness. Last year as a sub we had an agreed upon signal both students/teacher would give each other if we were saying something offensive

for destressing I like to drink a cup of coffee, go for a walk, if its really bad just forget about work for the evening and watch tv

everyday I make a mental note of what I'm planning to do that day and immediately start working on my schedule. I take into account the due dates and how much time the task will take and my comfort level with it. If its something I am not comfortable with or I think will take a long time I start working on it first
