Hi,
I hope to be interviewing for a new class at our school for a 1-2-3 combo. I have a good organizaional plan and will use the standards to teach from (not to):), but does anyone have any thoughts on the 3 year age span and best practices on giving the best possible experience to these students?
Thanks, Courtney

What is your experience with student-centered teaching and how does your experience compare with educators around the world?

My company, Seward Inc., is conducting a survey of educators around the world about their opinions, experience, and plans for using (or not using) student-centered methodologies in their teaching. The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete and is open to educators at all levels, from all subject areas, and in any geography. The results of the survey will be shared and compared this March at a workshop about student-centered teaching practices. All respondents can receive a copy of the results presentation. We hope educators will find the survey results helpful and informative. Please share with your colleagues!
I have a K/1 class and I am having difficulty juggling everything curriculum-wise. There is a 23 month age span between my youngest and my oldest student.

There is a 23 month age span between my youngest and my oldest student. Some of my kindergarteners are already 7 years old, while many of my first graders are only 6. I have special ed kids, language impaired students, and a couple of children from such dysfunctional homes that it spills over into the classroom very, very much. Sometimes I feel like I am drowning in the juggling, and I do not feel that there is adequate support for me and my students. The model is new to my district, and I have heard that the few other K/1's are also struggling. I am terrified that I won't get my kids where they need to be academically, and of course, I will be held accountable. I have a very in-depth understanding of the K curriculum, and only a marginal understanding of where my first graders need to be. I feel like I am doing double the work with the same amount of resources as those who need only teach one grade. Any words of encouragement will be appreciated.

I recently found out I will be teaching a 4/5 combo class for the 2010-2011 school year. Luckily, I've taught both 4th and 5th grade, but not at the same time.
I was wondering what the pros and cons are.
Also, how do you cover two separate curriculums at the same time? I'm mostly concerned about social studies, science, and math....See MoreI recently found out I will be teaching a 4/5 combo class for the 2010-2011 school year. Luckily, I've taught both 4th and 5th grade, but not at the same time.

Unfortunately, I won't have an EA or teacher to help me.
Thank you!

I am teaching a 3/4 class next year for the first time. Does anyone know of any books that I can read to give me information on this.
Thanks, Linda Guthrie
