I didn't fill out the poll, because I am a former teacher, gr. 6/7 English/Language Arts. I looped with my kids for 2 years.
Even though I am on to a new career, I don't think I will ever stop feeling like a teacher, after 31 years!

I'm an elementary music teacher. Yes, the kindergarten teachers need a special pat on the back. They are my most challenging classes.

I nominate that ECE/Pre-K/K teachers answer in the poll as "foreign language". I subbed in a kindergarten class for one day. That was enough. The little ones and I just can't communicate.

How about social sciences and literature. That is what I teach.

I'm on leave, home with my baby right now, but my current position is teaching 7th grade reading....most favorite age and subject ever.

I've taught middle school and high school German, too.

I heart teaching reading. Love, love, love it. And I love middle school, too. The kids rock.

I teach art and between Art 1 Drawing and Art 2 I have 9th-12th fun fun fun!

lol!

I'm a speech-language pathologist at a school for kids with autism.
The job is what I make it. These days, I'm making it the best job ever.

college writing online with ITT Technical Institute.

Oh! This is fascinating; I would never have consideredd ITT Tech for teaching English. Hmmm. Because that's what I do, teach English online, (writing) at community college.

And yes, Monday is official end-of-summer day. *Sadface*

I tutor "underprepared" students at the community college in a computer lab - and also help a lot of "returning" (i.e., significantly older than 19 ) students figure out how to navigate the computer for academic purposes and remember what School is. (Right now I'm designing a tutorial for "using assistive technology for academic purposes" and putting the finishing touches on a mess of reading comprehension exercises to go with "Freak the Mighty.")

We've been crazy busy this week ... but there's nothing quite like having said a few encouraging words at the right time so a student decides that yes, she can... I am so in awe of the people brave enough to put it on the line and get out there and go back to school

Social worker/counselor in K-5, since 1986. Prior to that 8 years as a special ed teacher; prior to that grade 5, and grades 7-8 math and English. Hoping to retire in about 5 years, after youngest son finishes college. As much as I like kids and school, I feel more balanced during summer breaks when I can ride regularly. A little sadness this time of year when I know I'll lose cycling time.

I am a primary teacher - mostly grade 2 and 3. This year I am teaching a Grade 2/3 split at a brand new school! I unpacked 37 boxes last week and have lots more to do to get ready for the kids who arrive on Sept. 8th. I can't wait!

Freak the Mighty at a community college ? Are they ELL students?
I love this book, but I used it with 7th graders who had reading difficulties!
