Hi,
Okay, maybe I graduated from a somewhat inferior teacher education program, although I didn't know it at the time, but the local teachers that I worked with during my student teaching kind of left me in the dark as far as following a Course of Study to invent lesson plans, and, although I have a better idea now and am aware I can borr...See MoreHi,
Okay, maybe I graduated from a somewhat inferior teacher education program, although I didn't know it at the time, but the local teachers that I worked with during my student teaching kind of left me in the dark as far as following a Course of Study to invent lesson plans, and, although I have a better idea now and am aware I can borrow lesson plans off of the internet, I still feel like it would benefit me to have it broken down again, perhaps in the form of a video or powerpoint presentation. Also, if there is a website that has videos of experienced teachers acting out their lesson plans, that would really help. I think my main issue is presentation and explanation.
My attempts at inventing lesson plans when I'm not collaborating with other teachers in my field, (and sometimes I don't have the opportunity to) sometimes result in very inferior products that leave the students confused and upset.

Sorry,
It may seem like a strange suggestion, but have you looked in Mobile, AL? There's a demand for math and science teachers here, and I've seen a lot of minority faculty at the schools where I sub. These aren't the best of neighborhoods, and the students are rough, but I, a young timid white female, would gladly take a job at one of t...See MoreSorry,
It may seem like a strange suggestion, but have you looked in Mobile, AL? There's a demand for math and science teachers here, and I've seen a lot of minority faculty at the schools where I sub. These aren't the best of neighborhoods, and the students are rough, but I, a young timid white female, would gladly take a job at one of these schools if I could find a position. Unfortunately, though, I majored in English, and there is no shortage of English teachers here; on the other hand, they hire math and science teachers who haven't even completed their degrees yet. That's how desperate they are. Also, if you are male, that's a plus, too. Male teachers generally have an easier time with classroom management and discipline. Also, the students would probably be interested in a teacher from the North. I've met a few people from other countries here, but I haven't met many people from the North. People from the North are a small rarity here, apparently. Good luck.

Hi,
I've put in several resumes in my state, but I haven't had any luck at all finding a teaching position. Currently, I substitute teach, and it's a somewhat miserable profession The pay is very low, and the students sometimes insist on treating you like a second-class citizen.

I've put in several resumes in my state, but I haven't had any luck at all finding a teaching position. Currently, I substitute teach, and it's a somewhat miserable profession The pay is very low, and the students sometimes insist on treating you like a second-class citizen. I've even had textbook throwing occur! My experiences as a sub were definitely not something the teacher education program prepared me for. In spite of all of this, I still have a lot of enthusiasm for teaching at the end of the day. I would really like to settle down in my own classroom, though. Despite the challenges, I would like to try real teaching. I imagine even the worst most draining classroom as a potentially wonderful experience. Do you know of any areas where English teachers with bachelor's degrees are needed?
I've been looking for a parent letter and a student handbook, and I found a good example. Here's the link:

I am a first year teacher and to say that I hate my job is an understatement. I've thought about quitting so many times since the school year started in August. The only thing that has kept me is that I don't want to be labeled a quitter. I teach at a high school in a small town. The kids are horrible!

I've thought about quitting so many times since the school year started in August. The only thing that has kept me is that I don't want to be labeled a quitter. I teach at a high school in a small town. The kids are horrible! In each class period, I have like 3 students out of 30 that actually do what they are supposed to do. The rest of the students are unmotivated lazy bums that complain about EVERYTHING. If I gave them $25 each, I am positive they would say "you could have given us $50." The students don't want to learn and believe that the only reason for coming to school is to be with their friends. Talking while I'm speaking, horse playing around, throwing things, you name it, the students to do it. This is an everyday thing. Discipline referrals, calling their parents, docking their grade, etc., nothing helps. Additionally, my school has the type of administrators that have forgotten what is like to be in the classroom and have something negative to say about everything the teachers do.
I have a countdown going and I'll be so ready when this school year is over. Its a little over three months left and for some this may seem like a short time, but not for me! This is probably obvious, but I have no intention of returning next year. As a teacher who actually gets paid to be there, I am looking forward to the last day of school than the students.
It often helps to hear what other people are going through. So is anyone going through a similar situation? If so, how do you deal? And how do you plan on making it to the last day of school?

What are/ were that most challenging moments you first had going into your job? How should I prepare to be ready for those challenges?
