[ISLMA-Share] Library class make up's

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Speaking as a former classroom teacher, who's currently a school librarian,
you can't 'make up' classes.

 Just as a classroom teacher doesn't 'make up' instructional time when
they're absent, you can't be expected to 'make up' classes due to schedule
changes.  If a classroom teacher misses a planning period, and IF that's
protected planning time per their contract, that's an issue to be resolved
by the school administrator--not the librarian.  If you're not getting a
sub to cover your classes during your absence, that's your administrator's
issue, too.  Not yours.

Does every music teacher 'make up' time if their class is cancelled?  Does
the PE teacher? Do classroom teachers need to 'make up' lost instructional
time due to school-wide events?

You shouldn't be expected to either.

Best, Michelle Walsh
