You have chosen a path that will be challenging but also highly rewarding. In addition, you are taking on a role that is being shaped to meet the increasing rigor and expectations required by New York City Public Schools. The New York City public school system is our nation’s largest: over 1.1 million registered students; more than 1,800 schools in operation, citywide; 80,000 Teachers and Teacher- related positions, assisted by over 23,000 Paraprofessionals, all of whom share the goal of improving outcomes for students. The role of a Substitute Teacher has evolved from being merely a coverage person, to one that provides quality classroom instruction in an on-going basis. You are an integral part of the student learning process. The same high standards and accountability expected from permanently assigned Teachers, are also expected from you. The following understandings and expectations should guide you as you take on assignments: • Continuation of student learning, along a continuum established by the permanent Teachers and school leaders, as your primary focus; • Establishment of your professional presence and exuding self-confidence in your role; and • Demonstration of effective instruction, consistent with school norms and classroom management. The Division of Human Capital has created this Handbook to: • Clarify processes; • Describe expectations; and • Introduce best practices for Substitute Teachers which will enable you to succeed in our schools. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with on-going support, so that you can help our schools achieve the shared goal of improved learning outcomes for our students. On behalf of the City of New York, the Department of Education, parents and students, we appreciate your interest and thank you for your commitment to applying your expertise and skills to the position of Substitute Teacher.

Copies may also be obtained at http://schools.nyc.gov/Offices/DHR/SubTeachers.html or by contacting the SubCentral Office. Additional details for use of the SubCentral System can be found on page 44 of this Handbook. Punctuality • You need to report for duty before the official start of the school day. • It is recommended that you arrive at school at least one (1) hour before the start of school in order to prepare the Classroom Teacher’s plan for the day. • Schools have different starting times. Therefore, you must be sure to make note of the time given in the assignment information, to know when to report. A Directory of the various neighborhoods supported by the NYCDOE can be found on your SubCentral System home page (after log-in) at https://subcentral.eschoolsolutions.com/. The two-page document contains a map of districts and a listing of neighborhoods. The beginning and ending times for Substitute Teachers will vary from school to school. • You must be certain to listen carefully to the start times provided by SubCentral. • You should call your assigned school the day before (unless the job offer was received on the morning of the assignment) to verify the start time and obtain directions to the school, if needed. Additional information about the school may be found on the NYCDOE school’s website. Consult online resources, e.g., https://www.google.com/maps for exact locations and/or directions for various modes of travel. • You can also call the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) at (718) 330-1234 or visit them online at http://www.MTA.info Directions can be obtained at https://www.google.com/maps or through other online resources. Work Hours Substitute Teachers’ work day is fixed at six (6) hours and fifty (50) minutes, inclusive of lunch, Monday through Friday, regardless of a school’s professional development or parent engagement schedule. You may not leave the building before you have completed a full six (6) hour and fifty (50) minute work day, even if students have been dismissed. Substitute Teacher Schedule/6th Period Coverage • You are required to cover the schedule of the absent Teacher. In general, the regular schedule of any Teacher includes five (5) periods of teaching, one (1) lunch, one (1) preparation period and one (1) Professional Activity Assignment.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • This Document Explains How to Copy Ondemand5 Data to Your Hard Drive
    Copying Your Repair DVD Data To Your Hard Drive Introduction This document explains how to copy OnDemand5 Repair data to your hard drive, and how to configure your OnDemand software appropriately. The document is intended for your network professional as a practical guide for implementing Mitchell1’s quarterly updates. The document provides two methods; one using the Xcopy command in a DOS window, and the other using standard Windows Copy and Paste functionality. Preparing your System You will need 8 Gigabytes of free space per DVD to be copied onto a hard drive. Be sure you have the necessary space before beginning this procedure. Turn off screen savers, power down options or any other program that may interfere with this process. IMPORTANT NOTICE – USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: This information is provided as a courtesy to assist those who desire to copy their DVD disks to their hard drive. Minimal technical assistance is available for this procedure. It is not recommended due to the high probability of failure due to DVD drive/disk read problems, over heating, hard drive write errors and memory overrun issues. This procedure is very detailed and should only be performed by users who are very familiar with Windows and/or DOS commands. Novice computers users should not attempt this procedure. Copying Repair data from a DVD is a time-consuming process. Depending on the speed of your processor and/or network, could easily require two or more hours per disk. For this reason, we recommend that you perform the actual copying of data during non-business evening or weekend hours.

  • Creating and Formatting Partitions
    Creating and formatting partitions Home Download Docs FAQ Forum Creating and formatting partitions SUNDAY, 14 NOVEMBER 2010 12:27 JAY Creating & formatting partitions in Porteus There are two ways to do things in Porteus. Using a GUI (graphical User Interface) or from a console prompt. If you prefer using a GUI then you can download a module called 'gparted' which takes care of creating and modifying partitions. Double click the module from within Porteus to activate it or place the module in the modules folder if you want it to be available automatically when you boot Porteus. Click here to get gparted. Once activated it should appear in your menu system and you can start it and create your partitions. If it does not exist in the menu then open a console and type: gparted Creating partitions from a console: There is a built in application to modify your partition table in Porteus. It is called cfdisk and gives you a CUI (console user interface) to manage your partition through. Simply open your console and type: cfdisk Another built in function for modifying partitions is called fdisk which also uses a CUI. The benefit of fdisk is that it can be called from a script. You should know the path of your USB device before using this option which you can get from typing: fdisk -l at console. Once you know the path of your USB device you would start fdisk by typing: fdisk /dev/sdb where sdb is the path of your usb. Don't include the number on the end (for example /dev/sdb1) as you will need to modify the entire devices partition table.

  • Configuring Your Login Session
    SSCC Pub.# 7-9 Last revised: 5/18/99 Configuring Your Login Session When you log into UNIX, you are running a program called a shell. The shell is the program that provides you with the prompt and that submits to the computer commands that you type on the command line. This shell is highly configurable. It has already been partially configured for you, but it is possible to change the way that the shell runs. Many shells run under UNIX. The shell that SSCC users use by default is called the tcsh, pronounced "Tee-Cee-shell", or more simply, the C shell. The C shell can be configured using three files called .login, .cshrc, and .logout, which reside in your home directory. Also, many other programs can be configured using the C shell's configuration files. Below are sample configuration files for the C shell and explanations of the commands contained within these files. As you find commands that you would like to include in your configuration files, use an editor (such as EMACS or nuTPU) to add the lines to your own configuration files. Since the first character of configuration files is a dot ("."), the files are called "dot files". They are also called "hidden files" because you cannot see them when you type the ls command. They can only be listed when using the -a option with the ls command. Other commands may have their own setup files. These files almost always begin with a dot and often end with the letters "rc", which stands for "run commands".
