Middle School Teaching Experience
Working in a middle school classroom, whether in a rural district of North Carolina or an urban center of Virginia, is a demanding endeavor. Working with students who are in a constant state of emotional flux, involving parents in decision making, developing age appropriate instructional materials, and all the other challenges are worth it when you are able to witness student success.
