Annual Mandatory Online Training (self.teachers)

I appreciate this annual opportunity to reflect on mandatory policies for my district while creating D&D maps for my ongoing campaigns.

I find that the bureaucratic hellscape that is annual training really fuels the development of Kafkaesque mazes and puzzles that grind down my players' will to live.

How do you pass the time during mandatory online training videos?

One year they added an integrated pest management section to ours, so that was at least mildly interesting. Then the next year it disappeared, so I imagine it was only meant for our maintenance staff and teachers doing it was an error.

I just click through as fast as I can to the quizzes. My department has a spreadsheet with a tab for each section, and then we list the questions and the answers. Each quiz has a pool of questions so if you encounter one that isn’t on the spreadsheet, it’s your duty to find out the answer and add it to the spreadsheet. At this point it’s pretty rare to get a new question. We also usually sit down and do them together while eating lunch or something during the inservice week, to make it more fun.

This pooled approach is real smart.
