Teacher Unions
Hi, as a first year teacher the topic of teacher unions confuses me a little. Am I supposed to join one right away? Join one at all? I was looking into the NEA and it looks like its really easy to join. Is it free? Basically should I join and what happens if I do […]
Why another AP?
So our school enrollment is down. The number of para's for Kindergarten has been cut, but we have a new AP. That makes 5 AP's and 1 principal for a student body of about 1300, and that's actually quite a bit lower than projected. What gives? Anyone have any ideas why a school would get […]

Free links! Lots of science, space, ELA, ESL, Music, Art, PD, Lesson Plans and resources. Enjoy!
It would be fantastic if we could share a link that is highly beneficial/useful, that doesn't cost a thing to use, no hoops to jump through. I encourage others to add to my links, creating some nice references to have on-hand. You can never have too many resources. I love free when it comes to […]
