If I were you, I'd look into jobs that interest you, whatever field they may be in, and just sell yourself in interviews. Teaching for that long...
I made those! They were great for my 1st graders, although I had to turn the crates upside down and tie the cushions on top so that they could...
I did decide to leave, but it was just within this past week. On Wednesday, I had to stop teaching and leave class because I started having a...
Yes, there are a LOT. Just type "leave teaching" or something to that effect into the search bar at the top of the page. As for resumes, I doubt...
I have to agree that it gets better. You as a teacher will adapt and become better at handling things. And a change of scenery doesn't help --...
Superflex is a good character building curriculum, based on a superhero theme. Our 1st grade team did one lesson every week, where the kids learn...
Wow, it's great that he asked you that! So his parents do care. Sounds like he's being held accountable at home. I mentioned the whole class just...
One of my 4th graders made similar threats. He was a known behavior problem at the school, so admin was always on my side, but I was doing similar...
I'm considering leaving my school because of high stress levels. I'm an anxiety-prone person and I don't want to get into too much detail, but I...

I was once in a similar situation, and procedures/routine was the most important thing. You will have to be very strict in order to reign in the...
At the end of the day, I think avoiding exposing the child to something against their religion is more about parent satisfaction with the school....
Whoa, I can't believe they put 10 students with IEP's in one class without extra support. D: One thing I've tried to do for the higher level kids...
That's interesting to hear. Do you have a link to that study or article? I'd love to read up more on the research side of things.
Our school does a festival and has a Halloween day where students and teachers can wear costumes (no weapons or masks). It is so fun to see...
What's your opinion on classes grouped by ability level (high, medium, low)? My school does this, and I have a "low/medium" class. I don't want to...
I don't think avoiding these activities is the same as shielding or sheltering the child. By being the only one who can't ever do a holiday...
I also did that intervention during bellwork. :) Hopefully the glasses help! Best of luck!
If the child can't write basic letters, I definitely think handwriting instruction would help. Handwriting will be their basic mode of...
