Hi guys! I am looking at multiple schools right now, and I got an offer from one which said the position is outlined for four different classes (Global History III and IV , ELA 10, and a class named Strategic Reading). Do you think this is more than normal for a first-year teacher, or is it similar to the usual responsibilities of a first-year?

I wonder if you feel this is best for you? Use your discrection!
