This will be my second year in a school tutoring. Though this year I'm spending 50% of it as a co-teacher. Tutoring will be with grades K-3 but I'm not sure of my mentor's room. I'll be getting my initial license this year. Any advice for the following few years? My license will be ECE.

I am not sure of the specifics, but that seems to be the case. If you have a bachelor's degree in some other field, you can go through an alternate route program to get your teaching license. It also probably varies by state.

This will be my fifth year of teaching. My first year was the year that COVID hit, so no, it hasn't quite been what I thought it would be, to say the least. I do enjoy it most of the time, but I also was not on anti-anxiety meds until I started teaching. I am thankful for the schedule it allows me to have, and I do enjoy actually teaching when I am able to do so. Paperwork, meetings, and discipline problems (with a lack of support from admin) I enjoy far less.
