Hello I am a first year teacher in a self contained room. I have 8 students. 3 IEPS due in September. 2 of those are due the second weed of September and we don’t go back until August 27th. Then I have 2 due in the beginning of October and 1 in November. How do I manage this?? I have never written an IEP other than in college. I am so afraid already. Please any advice would be awesome.
Hello! As stated in the title I will be a first year intervention specialist this coming year. I haven’t been able to sleep or eat this past week I am so anxious. I am teaching third through fifth grade autism room (self contained). I just don’t know how to prepare. I am not allowed to go see the classroom or get my caseload until the WEEK before school. That same week we have all our training days. Intervention specialists have more training days than the general education teachers.
So can someone please give me advice! How do I prepare. How do I even know what I’m going to teach. I feel like I’m going into this completely blind.
Hello as the title states, I just landed a job in an intercity school district as an intervention specialist. This will be my first year ever teaching. I recently found out that I am pregnant and due in the middle of January. I obviously did not tell the hiring team I am expecting a baby but I’m hoping to take 12 weeks off starting soon after Christmas break ends. What advice would you give me for not upsetting the principal of my new building. Is this going to ruin my relationship with him?
I’m not sure why I did this but I told my parents and my husbands parents about my pregnancy. I’ve know for a week and literally taken 8 pregnancy tests. All positive. I’m just so nervous something will happen and I’ll be upset having to tell them I lost the baby. Or that I jinxed myself because I didn’t wait. I know it’s stupid I’m just scared. Did anyone else tell their parents so early?
Hello! So I am just now applying to jobs as an intervention specialist in Ohio. I recently found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant. I want to get a teaching job (especially for the insurance) but I’m not sure how it will look. The baby is due at the end of January and I was hoping to take off from Jan to beginning of April before I return giving me 12 weeks with baby. I know some of that will be unpaid but I’m planning on saving all my sick time and personal days.
My question is how will this look for the new school. Is there a chance I won’t get renewed because they’ll be upset that I’m leaving as a first year. Can I even leave that long as a first year? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated especially from teachers in Ohio.
