When you say they are from her culture, what do you mean by that? I sense this is part of your problem here. You have already separated out some...
So, the bad news is this--it's not that unusual. Quite often, new teachers are roaming - they move from room to room as each class changes, so...
I agree. In my experience, we give the hardest classes to the least experienced teachers, which I think is why so many burn out--it is so...
I take about 45 minutes from out of bed to out the door. Up at 5:15 - shower, dressed, makeup - make my son's and my lunch by 6:00. Only thing...
And while I agree states should have control, it needs to be more equal across the board. I live in VA, and to get a history credential, you have...
So, today one of my colleagues came to talk to me about ways to fully engage his class. He has been told to go sit in my class and do what I...
Honestly, with the exception of those two kids--it sounds like everything is going well. My advice--ignore them, at least to the extent you can....

I totally disagree with the no zero policy. In my experience, with a few exceptions, if they care, they will turn it in. This is why I have a no...

I would apply and get the job first--then quit. It still may follow you, but at least then you have a good reason.
They are both really cool. I think the first one is more specific, so that would be my preference. If you do cover a teacher that has multiple...
I feel bad for her, but it seems that she went in with rose-colored glasses. She assumed that everyone would help her and she really did very...
Interesting. I think it's good that we are looking outside, because our students need diversity, but at the same time, I think it's sad that we...
I don't necessarily think we need to start earlier--however, that might fit for some. I do think that there needs to be several things in place...
I think it is a good thing. However, I do not think that a child who has been placed in a certain track should be denied access to others, if...
So, I found out today that I have a student with an auto-immune disorder. His accomodations are very extensive--sanitized seating area and...
