WhatIWishIKnew

collections of thoughts from student teachers and first year teachers of what they wish they knew BEFORE they got into the field full time:

 * graphic organizers REALLY help...the more the better
 * how many IEPs there can be in a single class--in a class of 13, 12 have an IEP (and the one without an IEP is a "misplaced" senior because she was home schooled and just needed a section of the course
 * there is no such thing as oversimplifying
