I’m in my third year teaching autistic support. I’m really struggling. My district lacks any kinds of supports or proper trainings for teachers. I feel like I can’t keep my head above water. I have a rather challenging class, but that is truly the least of my issues. I have three very difficult teacher assistants who question everything I do and how I do it, I feel like I can’t win with them. In addition, all of my ieps/revevals fall in the same month and the paper work feels so immense. I feel like I am on the verge of a mental breakdown. I’ve tried bringing my struggles to the director special ed, but she has the “I made it work so you can too” mentality. Sue also feels that everyone should just know how to do everything with out any training, or support. I vented to one of the he other floor teachers about how I was feeling and she spread it back to the director of spec Ed. Now my relationship with her is screwed.

I’m the type of person who gets a long with everyone in life, but I just can’t seem to fit in at my own school. I feel like there’s no one I can trust or depend on. I want to resign right now, but I know they won’t find someone to replace me until the fall and I don’t want to do that to the students. What can I do? Any advice on how I can make it until June?

I know that Wilson is an OG based curriculum and OG is a methodology. I was trained (not certified) in OG through grants in Massachusetts this summer. However, I noticed many schools in the state look for Wilson certified teachers. I want to go through with a full certification for one of these programs. Which do you see as more beneficial and why? What best serves students? What is more marketable (would I have more opportunities with one program over the other)?
