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.
