Hi all,
I teach at a freshmen academy in Indiana. We have a "team" system. Each individual freshman has the opportunity to choose their desired team upon arrival to the freshman center.

I teach at a freshmen academy in Indiana. We have a "team" system. Each individual freshman has the opportunity to choose their desired team upon arrival to the freshman center. We currently have 10 available teams. Each team has a specific career ranged focus and has a set of 6-8 teachers. We are almost a miniature high school. For example, we have Team EDGE that is designed for students with an interest with technology and computer development and Team Reliance for students interested in media, acting, journalism, etc. and then the other 8. I have been working here for a few years now. However this year, our administration has completely changed. We have a new principal and 2 new assistant principals. For most schools, this could be an issue and because of this we have lost about 10-20% of our original teaching staff. Because of the change with our teacher roster, I have been moved to another team called Team IMAGINE that has 7 teachers. We focus on scholarship, college readiness, etc. However, All of the teachers on my new team are new first year teachers - straight from college. I am the only one on the team with experience teaching and at the academy. I've also been burdened with the role of team leader. I am overwhelmed. Did administration make a mistake? What advice would you guys give me as far as handling a team with all new teachers?
I am looking for 5 host families to host pairs of Japanese high school girls in late March for 4 nights. Prefer host families not more than 4 hours drive from Los Angeles International airport. Can pay $260/family and offer free hosting at our school in Japan. Thank you.
