That's funny, but true. I tell everyone who's contemplating teaching to teach ESL. There's nothing better and that, ironically, is one reason. The better reason, though, is the great kids you get to meet. “Luckily I teach ESL so no one tells me what I need to be doing–because no one knows.”

At my school administrators, coaches, etc. are always walking into classrooms handing teachers paper with lists of things that need to be implemented but they never say how to do it. They only thing they say is when it needs to be done by. Luckily I teach ESL so no one tells me what I need to be doing--because no one knows. It would be so nice to have that support of other teachers helping with the long term planning. The other TFA teachers at my school and I feel pretty good about planning lessons but it's the long term planning that we are struggling with. Especially when there isn't a specific curriculum in place That’s amazing that you are being given so much support.

I have a question. As you work with the more experienced teachers do you have the feeling that at some point in time (or perhaps this has already happened)the "mentoring" will change from "getting you started and comfortable" to more of a "can we do it better?" exercise. In other words, is this a molding you into how we do it here or a let's find a place to start kind of thing? You are certainly right that support is the key. I have a question.
