I just got a job as an ESL teacher in a public school and I will start in two week. I have tried to talk to the teacher who is actually in this position right now and she is not willing to give me all the information that I need in order to continue with what she is doing right now. The administration is throwing me there the first day of my assignment and I feel a little apprehensive because I have a lot of ideas but I don't know how to approach this situation. I have been a teacher for almost 10 years, but I have never been in this situation before, starting 3 months before the end of the school year.
Please, teachers, can you give me a few suggestions about strategies and activities that I can do the first few days without looking like I don't know anything? The only thing I know is that I am teaching 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders and they are focusing in reading and writing and preparing them for the state test.
Thank you so much for your help in advance.
