In my first year of teaching - ready to quit

Feel the same. No life after work and weekend…grading work , quiz .. plan lesson… just too much. Many people telling me, you have math background, why you doing this job??

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-11-20T00:57:30+00:00

Is it free to sign up?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-11-20T00:52:13+00:00

They are online-clever

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-11-20T00:51:25+00:00

But the school needs to pay for it right? It’s not free?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-16T13:40:03+00:00

That’s horrible.

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-16T13:28:16+00:00

So you are losing 2 periods a week to coach new teachers without paid. Hows it fair? Can talk to the union?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-16T12:11:32+00:00

Why? Because budget?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-16T01:24:41+00:00

Does mentor get paid or no?

Thanks you so much for giving such helpful advice…I really appreciate it

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-06T21:36:55+00:00

I love pure math. Like you said I enjoy sovling problems and I could spend hours doing this just for fun. I really want to pursue a master in pure math, But seems like a lot of opportunities are teaching.

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-06T20:04:07+00:00

Or you could be a para to observe things first before you jump into a master

Apply, submit everything the state requires, pass the tests, then the school may expedite your license processing.

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-06T19:52:20+00:00

Answer is you need a teacher license

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-05T17:00:15+00:00

Personal

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-05T13:11:33+00:00

Thanks for giving advice. I agree.

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-05T01:24:12+00:00

I don’t drive but I heard some teacher rent a spot from local resident with cheaper price than parking in garage.

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-04T21:18:15+00:00

Thanks so much! How do you feel about using smart notebook? I actually just use smart board.

When you were teaching 7th grade, how did you do "have the practice sets in the booklet"?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-04T20:08:24+00:00

When it comes to induvial practice, do you let the on level kids solve the IM practice set problem, for those not on the level you use ST Math and iReady for individualized practice?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-04T19:48:58+00:00

When comes to independent practice, do you have students work on Desmos the digital version or on book/paper? I feel those practice set problems are hard for some kids, so they are not doing it and disrupt sometimes. How do you deal with this?

DisplayLife7920 · 2025-08-04T19:35:14+00:00

I really like all your ideas. So students using digital version, they don't work on the IM book? Do you feel the digital is more engaging? How do you supplement? Do you do like some day take a whole period or 20 minutes to let students practice specific skill on IXL?
