Marysville Stop Motion Animation – Week 7

There are many differences between Districts 5 and 6 despite how close the locations are. One of the differences that were discussed was the full-time TTOC position that is being introduced to District 6. When beginning my process to become a teacher I imagined that I would hate being a TTOC and that if I had to do it that I would just have to get through it. However, recently on a PE in-situ, I had the opportunity to talk to a teacher who has spent his whole career as a substitute teacher. My first thought was why the hell would you want to do that? Then he bragged about the zero marking he does and the zero lesson plans and report cards he makes. That quickly piqued my interest. I never thought of it like that. This teacher enjoys going in, meeting new students every day, and getting to know and connect with them for a brief time. The teacher-student connection would be the downfall of being a full-time TTOC. Obviously having your own classroom that you spend time with every day would foster stronger more meaningful relationships. To improve these relationships, between students and TTOC’s, Sd6 is introducing full-time TTOC positions in a specific district. This way students will be more familiar with their TTOC, and they can build stronger relationships. I am still not sure if I would want to be a full-time TTOC, but it is a super cool and unique position that Sd6 offers.
