I'm hoping to teach at a middle school this upcoming school year. I taught 5th grade for three years and I had it all! I worked in a low socio-economic area, I had 38 students my first year, 40 students my second year, and 36 students my third year. I had the ESE students each year and ESOL as well during my second year. I figure if I made it through that experience as a newbie I can make it through anything. I'm excited about teaching in a middle school, but because I've been out of the loop for a year, I'm also a bit nervous. Any suggestions?
I'm a teacher who took a year off to go to graduate school...for those of you considering doing the same....DON'T DO IT! Once your used to teaching it is hard to focus on only studying!!! I'm begining to think I have ADD/ADHD...
