I am coming to the end of my graduate program, and I have just started the process of finding an internship site for the fall. I am at the point where I must choose between elementary and secondary, and I am having a difficult time. I have taught for nine years--four years of middle school, one year of high school, three years of intermediate (5th & 6th), and one year of elementary. I have literally taught at every grade level, which is why I'm having such a difficult time deciding! I have a background as a Gifted & Talented Specialist, which required that I administer and score assessments such as the CogAT and ITBS. I actually enjoyed that aspect of it, which makes me think high school might be a good fit for me. I really enjoy the personalities at the middle school level. I love the HUGS from elementary kiddos (but I'm a little nervous about the parents!) Any suggestions? I have shadowed counselors at each level, and it only made me more confused! Does anyone have any advice...See More
