Post: My aide will be last year's teacher!
Posted by: new teacher on 6/03/09
I just got hired to teach at a private school. I'm
currently working towards my teaching certificate and this
is my first time teaching. At this school, you have 3 to
earn your certificate while you teach. My aide will be last
year's teacher!! She's been there for 10 years, teaching
for 3. She didn't get certified for some reason or another
and is stepping down as the aid. I've been warned by
another aide that she has no intention of stepping down and
will run this classroom like it's her own. What should I
do? I just don't want her to make my first year teaching
unbearable because the only one's that will suffer are the
children.
