Shalom, My name is Karen Furman. I am an Olah Chadasha. My family and I made aliyah August 2010 to Karmiel. I recently got my first teaching position in Israel. I am teaching Bagrut English to grades Yud, Yud Aleph, and Yud Bet. I have many years of teaching experience from the United States, but in some ways I feel like a brand new teacher. I am looking for tips / advise on time-management for grading papers, unseens, book reports and wondering how much time out of school on average is spent doing this (I have about 75-80 students), how to organize papers (I am used to folders and file folders-not plastic flimsy things), and any other pearls of wisdom for a "first year teacher" in Israel. I can be reached at kfurman2632@xxxxxxxxxxx or 052-716-3405. Thank you! -Karen
