What do admins prefer when coming into Ts rooms? Ignore and continue, or acknowledge & if possible w/o disrupting, talk abt lesson?

Depends on the teacher, but I like a welcome nod and a continuation of the student learning.

I make eye contact and a motion to keep going. That is mainly so I do not disrupt the learning, especially with the littles.

I prefer that the learning continues. When a teacher stops the learning, I feel like I’m an interruption and not a supporter.
