Hawaii Here I Come!!!!
Who doesn't dream about winning the lottery and taking a cruise, a long cruise! Well, I'm one of those dreamers and have the lottery ticket receipts to prove it! Well, after realizing that I'm now a multi-millionaire, and consulting with my command staff ie: CPA, Attorney, Financial Consultant and Security Team, I would then make plans to talk to my replacement. The advice that I would give to my replacement teacher is to set the ground rules and stick to them! In other words, when addressing the students, "Say what you mean and mean what you say". This in and of itself, goes a long way. I would ensure that all lesson plans were in order and go over each of them with my new replacement. I would also ensure that my replacement has everything he/she needs to include the assistance of my class leaders and other designated, responsible student helpers, to help make his/her job easier!
Leonard,
ReplyDeleteI definetly like Hawaii! After reading your post you are a teacher that respect your students and have implemented a strong classroom environment that are built on routines. Students need to be made aware that they are special and their futures look bright. I like the fact that you will take the time to go over the lesson plans with your replacement teacher to make sure that learning will continue and student achievement increases. Great job Leonard!!
