Last night I had a strange dream...I was teaching a reading class at a middle school. It was the first day of school, and I find out that I will be team teaching with a man who mentored me in college. We are getting ready for the first day, and everything's great. All of a sudden it's the first day of school, the bell rings, and students start filing in and finding their seats. I notice one child is a student I taught when she was in kindergarten. Now, she is a middle-schooler, but instead of being a human, she is a coyote. She refuses to sit down, runs around the room constantly, and she even jumps on desks. I'm all frantic, and everything is chaotic. We try to have a snack (I realize middle-schoolers don't get snack-time...lol!), but the coyote, my student, has devoured everyone's snacks. Then I woke up...What does this mean??

Ok...feelings...I was upset and confused...I was trying to figure out how to manage having a coyote for a student...I was feeling a little helpless, because who do you go to when you need advice for teaching a coyote?? lol
More background...This particular student, when I worked with her in my real life, was very emotionally disturbed, unpredictable, and at times violent towards the staff and other students. She came from an unfortunate family situation and didn't trust anyone. Does this help?

Updated answer--- OK.
My guess (without knowing your life, family etc.) is that your daily routine is abruptly changing. Your mind is working through anxiety and you are feeling a loss of control.
You are usually comfortable in school setting, which is a very structured environment. The school in your dream represents this comfort. But in your real life you have just gone through a minor stressor (not a death or something big) but I'm guessing that you are either in late high school or college and just had finals.
The added stress of the finals distracted you from your real issue - which is that you enjoy your school environment as a student. That structure is now going to be gone - changed for the summer. Different people will be around. Comfortable people will be leaving. Your daily routine is off kilter.
There is nothing you can do about this change - what you could control was the tests - so you probably focused on studying a lot.
The child that is a coyote represents your anxiety over the change in your life and daily routine. You have no control over it, and you don't understand it.
You also don't understand why there have to be people with disabilities. You are very sensitive and feel for them, but you can't do anything for them. You can't "fix" them. You have no control over it, and you don't understand why it happens - especially with God involved.
I don't really know if you are in school - but I'm willing to bet that there is a major routine change that you need to start taking one day at a time.
God will never give you more than you can handle in one day.
Let me know if any of this rings true for you!
Good luck.

OK Missy there are lots of variable factors involved here. Did you go to Taco Bells and eat too much the night before the dream? Have you ever been annoyed by an animal or even a child who reminds you of a coyote? Only a person like Danial from the old testament could really interpret this dream.

Often, when God shows you an individual in your dream as a animal, He is letting you know their personality is most like so you will be prepared on how to do with them and what there weaknesses are. For example, an coyote is a opportunist. He is not a strong predator, but takes advantage of opportunities given to him. Also, he is a scavenger, cunning and resourceful. Last of all, coyotes are not known for the ability to be tamed which explains why your student was trashing the classroomate. Whoever this person is has a "wild and free" spirit, so you should get ready to be longsuffering and patient with this individual.

I'm assuming that you're a teacher in real life and you're going to teach camp or summer school. This is a position in which you're familiar with but you feel anxiety about your new position. It probably relates to a new job or assignment or maybe the classes that you'll be teaching next year. You have some help or confidence (represented by the mentor) but you are worried you might have trouble (represented by the coyote). Don't worry you'll be fine.

To see a coyote in your dream, denotes deception and weakness.

I'm not good at dream interpretations but it is good to see your question is in English.
