I'm a second year teacher and my students are in grade 11. I do not have a permanent contract yet. On Friday, I gave a quiz. One student had an...
This is sort of what I ended up doing. Every assignment has a range of questions. The questions start out quite basic, and then get gradually...
Hi everyone. Over the weekend I came down with a cold that's making me feel gross. It's only the third week of school! I can't believe I got sick...
Oh, that's really interesting! How many of the students were non-honors?
Yes, that's correct. The honors students signed up for an honors class, and the regular students signed up for a regular class.
Hi everyone. Next week, I start my second year of teaching high school science. My grade 11 physics class is weird. It was originally supposed...
Last year I was a temporary teacher. I have already signed a subbing contract for this upcoming school year. My hire was never officially...
Yeah, at this point, nobody is allowed to request a transfer between schools. I would only lose the position if a teacher is excessed somewhere...
Got it. That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I feel better knowing there's probably a good reason behind it, rather than it being a mistake I...
Good point. I don't really know how a union works, so I wanted to cover all my bases before contacting them. I really don't want to screw anything...

Yeah, I agree. Apparently early in September, teachers in other schools can still lose their jobs. For example, if a school thought they were...
Thanks for the help. Yes, it's at the same school. Last year I was just filling in for someone on medical leave. When that person came back, I...
Last year was my first year of teaching, and I made some good connections at one school. A month ago, the principal at that school contacted me...
I'm a first year teacher. Last semester, I felt like I had good control of my classes. However, this semester, I'm teaching a grade 11 chemistry...
I am a relatively new sub - been at it about a month. Today I was subbing in a grade 7 gym class, which I've never done before. The kids were...
Well, my fear came true. Today I was subbing in a grade 11 class. At the start of class, we met in the classroom and I took attendance. We then...
Okay, thanks! Would you call the office right when the 5 minutes were up, or wait a couple extra? I'd be inclined to wait until 10 minutes had...
