We have 6 of us on the team. I am the middle one at 30 years old but will be on my 7th year teaching. The veteran is 26 plus years teaching... 2 in the middle are in their late 40s are on their 2nd and 3rd year..we have 2 younger than me. One first year and the other 3rd year. So it is definitely different. We have the same objectives. We have the same curriculum.. science series, social studies, math and reading series. We all follow the reading series per week but we do different activities. It really depends on your class and experience how faithly you follow things. We do the same science/s.s themes but we all do different things. I am willing to share if that person shares too. I am pretty consistent with themes per year (going on 5th in kinder) but may do things differently or not at all. This year my end of the year is totally different b/c I am trying to meet more objectives out of our new science series. I guess my friend describes it best. It is how you are.. your doers who go out of your way to do everything for your students. Thats me for sure. Then you have other teachers who walk out the door at 3. In my case ONLY, those are the teachers it is affecting their students. Have I helped the two newer teachers. Yes, in the beginning but hey I don't have time to go asking if they need help. I was always taught to ask if needed... one teacher 3rd year should know the curriculum (kids are out of control) and the other one has a mentor who doesn't help nor does she ask for help. The other teacher wants more to be a friend and her students lack academic skills because of it. Doing beginning letters still? The difference will be noticable next year when these kids go to first grade. You know whos running records to trust and which teachers push students onto books when they are not ready. I got my affirmation when my principal told me that i have showed wonderful personal growth as a teacher working with my students.(Last year was a little bumpy) I was so proud. I can look at my kids from the beginning and look at the gains they have made. It is amazing. I will always be the teacher who stays late or is always on the computer planning. It is just me. It really depends on the individual. The veteran teacher will be leaving for prek. So I will have seniority. Although there is a new teacher from another school who might have more years. You can really tell somebody something but it is up to them if they follow through. If teaching isn't in you.. then why stay. Our two younger teachers just don't put the effort into teaching and it shows. just my two cents.
