My #teacher swag from today. I started my new job as a Middle School English teacher today, so I have 1 week of new teacher training and 2 weeks of regular teacher training before I meet my new students - only 11- to 14-years old! #MiddleSchoolELA #teaching #education #teacherlife #ITeachEnglish

How do you structure a class period? I really want all of these in my class daily, but something always gets sacrificed. Are you able to do all 4, every day? Or some of these only happen, say, 3 days a wk? #MiddleSchoolELA 2/2

One of the biggest compliments a middle school student can give you is them asking if you'll be teaching their next grade level.

#MiddleSchoolELA teachers- if you’ve had success getting these 4 things in your 50-minute class period regularly, what is your “minute by minute”schedule? 1) writing (informal/practice), 2) choice reading, 3) required curricular content, 4) grammar/mechanics instruction.
