This is my second year teaching 8th grade math I have been teaching for 23 years. My classes are about 70 minutes long. My classes are grouped heterogeneously. I am the only 8th grade math teacher. How I wish I had someone to collaborate with. Some of my students are motivated and some, I feel, I am not able to reach. I need help with differentiation and having my students to become responsible for their learning. My standards are middle school GSE(Georgia Standards of Excellence).
