I was a K-12 teacher for seven years. Taught grades 5-8 for two years, and grades 9-12 for five years. I wanted to remain in the classroom for at least two decades, but life had other plans for me.
I'm now a graduate student instructor (also known as a teaching assistant) in my university's school of education. I have supervised student teachers and pre-student teachers, and taught multicultural education, as well as children's literature.
Missam05 & others, my dissertation is actually about classroom management. PM me if you want to talk more...
I loved K-12 teaching! The reason I went back to graduate school full time was because I live in a state that is going through a severe budget crisis (Michigan). I got tired of being laid off & called back.
Is anyone else planning to be at National Association of Multicultural Education (NAME) in New Orleans, or National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) in San Antonio this fall?
