The state of Oregon has issued a &#8220;<strong>temporary administrative order<\/strong>&#8221; with an immediate effective date that in essence states that substitute teachers should be treated as a regular teacher in terms of &#8220;breaks&#8221; and meal periods.\u00a0 In other words, you can immediately return to treating subs as you have prior to this year.\u00a0 One other item of clarity in this &#8220;order&#8221; is that you cannot require subs to work during their prep period.\u00a0 If they volunteer then absolutely provide them with a task &#8211; but you cannot require them to take on extra tasks during prep time. The ESD will be communicating with all of the substitutes soon, but I do not see any reason why you cannot change your substitute (break\/lunch\/start &amp; end times) practices now.<\/li>\n<li>Your work with people provides both some of the most rewarding and challenging experiences you face. Therefore, the better you understand those you work with (in your building) and for (parents and community) the deeper the trust and richer the relationships. A recent article highlighted in Marshall Memo had some insights around this topic that I want to pass along. Daniel Pink had some interesting things to say regarding life (daily) rhythms. I hope you take the time to read the entire article, but here is an overview of his piece entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1o3QQQM9nM5qcP1xqnEBpW9d3vAROFj2Y\/view?usp=sharing\">Hidden Rhythms Within Each Day<\/a>:Research over the last 100 years has come to three conclusions about the impact of time of day on humans:\n<ul>\n<li>Each day, our cognitive abilities change in regular, predictable ways: a peak, a trough, and a rebound (about 20 percent of people have the reverse sequence).<\/li>\n<li>People\u2019s daily low point can be the equivalent of drinking the legal limit of alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019re more and less effective at some tasks at different points in the daily cycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>You may have already been contacted, or may in the near future be contacted, by someone with the following group.\u00a0 If you are, know that they are not representing our district.\u00a0 Their intentions are good, but do not come with authority that you implement any of the changes they may suggest.\u00a0 If you are contacted, a tactic to consider is to have them join you at a Site Council or PTA\/PTO meeting if\/when you discuss school safety regarding your building.\u00a0 Let me know if you have any questions regarding this.<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/files\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-01-at-5.10.03-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1064\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/files\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-01-at-5.10.03-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"369\" height=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Next week there will be interviews<\/strong> for HS Assistant Principal (multiple schools) and REALMS MS Administrator.\u00a0 It will be nice to have these positions filled soon!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>REMINDERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>See you at <strong>Leadership on Monday<\/strong> afternoon at 3:15.
