Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson : The Computer Teacher is Overworked
He is not kidding when he says Computer Science teachers are over worked.
My first year of teaching, I taught three preps. AP Computer Science which was Pascal, Computer Math, and Algebra II. That wasn't too bad.
Currently I teach the following:
AP Computer Science II - 1 student in a mixed class with 4 other subjects.
AP Computer Science I - 5 students
PreAP Computer Science -- 3 class periods. My first period is half PreAP, 4th Period is all PreAP, and 7th has two students.
Regular Computer Science - 4 class periods. Half of first period, all of second and fifth, and I have one student taking it 7th period.
Webmastering - 1 class period 8 students, three are special ed.
I'm also trying to learn Spanish, but may hang that up, the first week of class was not good.
