I’m in my fourth year of teaching special Ed (high school resource room) and really feeling the burn out. A gen ed job just opened up at the middle school level, same district. I really think a grade level change is what I need, but can I do that to my students and parents? Has anyone switched jobs mid year and how did it go?

If it’s a good fit for you and a job you really want, you need to put in the application. Students, parents, staff, people understand and ultimately want you to be happy too. The students will be fine, kids are resilient and who knows in a spiritual way maybe it’s suppose to happen, seems like it’s tugging on you to make the move. I say go for it!

Yes! It’s a heavy year in education . It’s clear that you love the kids and are passionate. If you believe in prayer do that and get direction. Children and families will understand .

Additional Posts in Special Education Teachers

I went to my GE science teachers and asked for a comprehensive list of what is taught in biology in our GE classes. My goal is to take the main ideas and bring the concepts down to the level of my students to keep them moving at a similar rate. I was told they do not feel they can share that with me because we do not have our class assignments for next year yet.

SSSOOOO...can anyone help me come up with a Biology Concept list?

I’m a SPED Resource/Inclusion Teacher which I really love. I really like working with the Gen Ed teachers maybe because my background is Gen Ed. I’m noticing many SPED team members go straight to the principal if they have an issue with a Gen Ed teacher instead of going to the teacher directly. Is this the norm now? What happened to SPED working with Gen Ed? Maybe I’m old school, but this seems so wrong to me. Thoughts?

Hi!! What does your sped model look like?We were told to teach the gen ed curriculum w/ A&M to our pull-out kids & not focus on their goals cause we would teach them within the curriculum. Thoughts?

Parents want to send their children back to school not only for educational purposes but also for social interactions. I do understand that many children want that interaction with their friends and teachers. But I don't think it is going to be quite as rewarding as many think with social distancing and face coverings to be safe. No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.
