[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also teach self contained. 
If you are reinventing the wheel- you are not very good at your job. There are resources & curriculum for our students. It’s an awesome job. But really, the prep isn’t that hard. 
Work smarter- not harder [/quote]

Nice that you work in an ELS classroom in NW  :twisted:

The curriculum is nonexistent and what we do have is not enough. Like the other person said there is a lot of prep work to do and materials to make. Not to be a martyr but to make an actual difference

Why is it so hard to imagine that someone, with your same job, has a different experience than you? I fully believe you are reinventing the wheel and not utilizing the para(s) the way you should. I fully believe that you are making up a curriculum and letting your admin bully you into teaching grade level content to kids with severe & profound needs. I fully believe that you adding to your own stress & shortchanging the kids by allowing your admin to not send in subs when you para(s) are out. I totally believe it- because I use to be just like you. Then I wised up. Self contained is hard. It is. And we increase the burden by working harder and not smarter. 
Also, do they even have ELS in NW? Self contained rooms are usually in under enrolled schools. Not NW.  [/quote]
