We had TERRIBLY outdated curriculum at my school when I arrived (like copyright 1998 😳). First year I used all self-made curriculum and felt like I needed to try and find something the following year so I did a lot of research. Found Pearson Auténtico and I really like it. Taught from it last year and really quickly realized the the Spanish 3 curriculum was WAY too advanced for my kids so we switched to Fluenz. However, I really like the levels 1 & 2. They build on one another well, and although I skip around a bit still (I wait until 2nd semester to introduce conjugation in Spanish 1) it was still great. The online resources are good too

We use Auténtico as well. It’s decent but I don’t rely on it. I’m trying to incorporate more CI this year.

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.
