Watching Teacher Auditions
I was wondering if any other subs have had the experience of watching teachers audition for jobs at schools. This whole week I have watched teachers or trying-to-be teachers doing classes for principals and assistant principals. I have seen physics, AP Civics, biology, and AP English. The kids have been so mean in their assessments of the teachers. I thought I had it bad with college students giving me reviews, but high school kids have them beat.
I have subbed for classes where the teachers let student teachers or teachers in training take over, but these auditions have been eye opening. In the auditions, the teacher gets reviewed by the class after his or her lesson. The principal asks the students for their input. The kids said one poor woman was boring, and another was repeating himself too much. One poor teacher passed out candy. I guess she thought bribery would work.
