Hello,

I am K-4 ELL teacher. I love my job! However, I have been offered a position at the Middle School in my school district. I need to make a decision soon. Do I want to stay with the little ones or go teach ELL at the Middle School? To those of you who have done/do both, do you prefer middle school or elementary school?

Would you be willing to compare the two for me?

Thanks Alexa

PS: Our district uses the pull-out method.

I think you need to look ins...See More
