I am a first-year teacher and accepted a position teaching 8th grade Integrated Language Arts yesterday; the first day for students is THIS THURSDAY. I have not seen the school, let alone my classroom, and have not met any of the staff as I was hired by the district HR guy. Monday and Tuesday are new teacher orientation and Wednesday is first day for teachers, so I don't have much prep time. My student teaching was at two different high schools, so I'm not exactly sure what the 8th grade curriculum looks like. Does anyone have any advice? I'm a bit panicked!
(Please don't berate me for taking this job. I live in Ohio and am lucky to have a contract job in my first year, particularly as an English teacher).
