Substitute Teaching: US History (LPHS 1)

Orem Junior High School I part two
Today was interesting. I noticed a pattern in how OJHS sets up their resource classes. The class I taught today during first period had a lot of the problem students. Meaning, behaviorally disabled students rather than emotionally disabled or learning…
