Moving for work, tell me something useful only an insider would know.

I’m finishing up my graduate degree in teaching with a social studies credential in California. I did my student teaching in social studies, and I got hired to teach both social studies and English for a public middle school. I am working on my English credential now and should be done by late-August, but I’m a bit worried since I’ve only ever taught social studies (and only as a student teacher).

Any advice on how to build a curriculum around middle school English? Any practical tips? Thanks in advance!

I’m refreshing job boards like three times a day, can’t these school districts start posting their roles already? It’s May! School is out in less than a month!
