It's beautiful.
Something that makes me think differently about teaching:
Subs either need to be respected, or they need to learn to take the heat or get out of the kitchen.
A Practice that I wish to Adopt!!!!
Instead of adopting a practice, I think that there is one that I want to avoid. When discussing behavior of students I think it is better to be assertive in expectations, but not accusing or aggressive to past behavior. I tend to like to sandwich things during critiques. (good-bad-good) And reinforce positive behavior and get more student voice on what they understand about respect and their behavior role in class.
Conflicting situations:
The subsitute situation was ok for her, but my behind the scenes spy actions discovered a lot of inappropriate behavior. A few female students were playing a game that involves daring each other to try and say a certain part of a male's anatomy as loud as they could before getting in trouble. Others were taking advantage that their strict teacher was not present and decided to ignore class rules and use the glitter in the art box. (I was unaware of this rule, but put an end to the glitter use after the first class decided to have a Ke$ha rave) The glitter was everywhere!
