I would say so. But I also know that many charter schools in my area have a bad reputation for how they treat teachers. Teachers do not have...
Except people look at charter school as the answers to our problems with education. Most people don't know these facts. More and more charter...
Wondering this myself. A lot of my close friends aka my support system at my school is leaving. It's a tough school to work at, but with a support...
I think it's a good idea. I definitely echo those who have said to block parents on facebook. I would even go as far as to unfriend the parent you...
Will you admin be understanding about losing your voice? They should be. Maybe you won't have your observation. Buddy the new student up with a...
Here you would be able to find a job in the suburbs most likely. I wouldn't say a "hot commodity" but I think you might find a job. Start looking now.
It shouldn't be the responsibility of the special education teacher to hand out the IEP to everyone working with the child. I like that my...
It's definitely harder for subs, there's no doubt about that. But it's also very hard to take over a class at this point in the year, especially...

I have a big table with all my students' names on it. When we're doing work that I'm going to grade I label each column with an assignment and...
I'm a special education teacher in an inclusion class and I think these accommodations are ridiculous. If these students are high enough...
Your book clubs are very similar to mine. I just started doing dialogue journals about books between myself and the students in the book club. By...
Definitely agree with this too. Our class generally scores the same if not better as the general education classes on simulations and other tests....
We give out a weekly homework sheet so as long as students have the materials at home they should be able to do their homework for a snowday. We...
Oh okay, I missed your point. It can be tricky to find books for advanced elementary school students. I'm afraid to give them most books on their...
I can honestly say I'm finally in a perfect co-teaching relationship. We co-teach all day everyday and the class is completely shared between the...
If she's so concerned let her grade them on her time. Geeze. But really, just put your foot down. Don't even explain why you do what you do....
