A Work Dilemna

[Veronica]

put positive teaching skills into the learning handicapped class and thank her for letting you do that!!!!

You know I've been teaching for more than 20 years and I have learned that I do NOT do well with LH students. Like anything else you find what you are good at and that's not it for me. I lack the patience and the understanding of what struggling to learn feels like. And it's really hard to fake that for a year.

I volunteered to take the combo. We're getting new Language Arts and Math curriculum next year, so I get to learn about two new sets of curriculum at once! Fortunately, my principal knows how well I know the standards and curriculum is just a vehicle for teaching the standards. She's already told me to do what I need to do to make it work. This choice suits my strengths of being organized, great classroom management and knowing the standards inside and out.
