I’ve taught for the last 10 years. I’ve taught prek, fourth grade, third grade and I worked as a school librarian for grades pk-8.
I’m getting bored and wondering if high school might be the right move for me.
I’m wondering what the major differences are…any input would be appreciated.
What are you qualified to teach above 8th grade? One big difference is that you will have more students per day, but for shorter lengths of time, say from forty-five to ninety minutes per class. Four to seven classes make a typical schedule. You’ll probably teach more than one subject or level in a subject per day.
I’m a reading specialist. The positive I’ve applied for is a reading specialist. I’m not very clear on exactly what they want but I’m just contemplating the differences.
My guess (from my high school memories) is that the shorter period of time is enough to teach the students because they are older.
Well for starters, you’ll spend your days surrounded by teenagers. If the idea doesn’t fill you with revulsion and despair, then you probably *should *consider teaching high school, because there can’t be all that many people like you. 
Rent The Class (2008). I don’t remember if Netflex has it streaming or if you have to get a disk. If you are not a subscriber you can probably get it free by signing up for a trial membership. Described as “Not your standard drama or documentary but something in between, this Oscar-nominated film used three cameras during a largely improvisational shoot and features real students rather than actors.”
