I have not been able to catch up with discussions for awhile and have spent the last hour reading what has been discussed. I am impressed with the great work you are all doing.
Though I have taught for many years it has onlt been in the last few years that I have moved into this area. It is like being a new teacher all over again. I have learned many things and this site has contributed.
My main stresses are never seeming to have enough time to see all the children, cope with the planning and paper work, meet with teachers, parents and admin, coordinating IEP’s etc.
Any ideas on organization, timetabling, resources and survival strategies would be greatly appreciated. I find that when I have one lot of children coming through after another that bu the end of the day my room and desk look like a bomb has been through it. I have tried to set aside times where I have some catch up to finalise the paperwork, but it never seems to happen.
Looking through rose colured glasses I sometimes wish that I was back with my own little class inside 4 walls.
