I am thinking about switching from teaching sixth grade English to middle school ESL next year. I am weighing the pros and cons for each position. Has anyone else made the switch from English to ESL? If so, how does the workload compare? Do you have any other thoughts about making this change? Thank you for the advice!

Hi! I co-teach one period of ESL (I’m the English teacher who works with an ESL teacher). I found the ESL kids were often excited to learn and participated more often that the students in my 4 just Eng. Classes. We had to do a lot of differentiation in the lesson planning but it was fun.

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
