New Teacher needs help

I need help with both. As my supervisor said when I was doing my student teaching, I come up with great ideas, but have trouble translating them into lesson plans. Unfortunately, he did not have extra time to help. As| a result of my complaints and concerns, the school where I went is now giving more help to special ed would be teachers, in the area of curriculum and lesson planning. I'm teaching in a self-contained classroom, although my students are not with me all day. At present, I am part time. I teach social studies to 6th graders; Language Arts to 7th graders; another period of LA to 8th graders, | |
and then I get both 7-8th graders back for the Literature portion of English. My students are all diagnosed with LD, but I have at least one, maybe two who may need to be placed in BD classes. My classroom is not supposed to be cross-categorical. We are planning an IEP for one of the students, to discuss academic and behavior issues. Other teachers are having problems as well.I'm hampered by the fact that I don't have textbooks, at least not at the level my students are reading at. At present, I'm working with the asst. principal on doing lessons in accordance with curriculum guidelines, etc. Any help or suggestions in general would be greatly appreciated. Caryn
