I think that it is interesting to talk with other teachers about content and regional education differences. So, let's get to know one another.

Country: USA Years Teaching: 10 Subject: Special Education, Behavior Grades: 7-9 currently, K-9 over the years.

Ask me anything about special education, junior high, teaching in the USA, and post about yourself as well!

Country: USA (Northeast) Years Teaching: 15 Subject: Special Education Grades: 9-11 currently, 3-12 over career.

What is your favorite grade level to teach? I enjoyed 5th grade inclusion and 8th grade resource best. I moved back to 9-11th resource this most recent school year and while it’s not my favorite, the new admin mostly leaves you alone and lets you run your own room.

Honestly, probably 3rd and 4th grade. It's where I and the kids had the most success. Junior High is kind of a bummer because the successes are fewer and consequences for failure are more severe. I am in the same boat in terms of administration. They leave me alone and let me run my class my way.
