Summary
Did admin really just call me trash?!
Welcome back to Teachers Off Duty! This week our hosts Bri Richardson, Devin Seibold, and Jess Smith share some of the worst observations they've ever had!
Wouldn’t you think it would be fun to invite admin in for a little fun game with students? Well we’ve tried that and when the kids got a bit too competitive things quickly spiraled out of control.
This week we shared some real horror stories from our classroom observations. From literal fires, accidental scissor stabbing, nervous vomiting, we've seen it all. In hindsight it's all pretty funny, and we can laugh about it now, but at the moment we’ve all had a bad observation, so laugh along with us and don’t make the same mistakes we have.
Speaking of terrible observations, one teacher, when they asked for feedback, only got told that their lesson plan was just “trash”. We think we need to teach admin about the compliment sandwich, because we can’t help but notice that feedback is less than helpful.
