Long Term Substitute Teacher
CurrentAs a long-term 3rd grade substitute teacher I plan and implement instruction for my class of 19 students including English Language Learners and inclusion students. I collaborate with the 3rd grade team on special projects and events for the grade level and attend grade level team meetings and staff meetings. I work closely with the 3rd grade special day class teacher and the school's RSP teacher to support our students, attending SST, 504 Plan and IEP meetings for my students. I check in regularly with other staff such as the school's ocupational therapist, school counselor, school psychologist, and speech therapist to support goals for students. I assess students' learning and adjust my instruction to address areas of need. I prepare report cards at the end of each trimester of the school year that are sent home with students to show their progress. For students out for an extended period or on independent study, I prepared assignments, coordinated with parents, and monitored the students' learning through virtual check-ins. I regularly communicate with students' parents in a weekly update to 3rd grade families sharing what students are learning and informing them of upcoming topics in the curriculum and other class or school activities. I attend weekly staff meetings and meetings with my grade-level team, professional development days sponsored by the district, and special school events to support my students.
