The technology teachers get hammered especially. Since AP Computer and AP Calculus AB are singletons, they have to fill my day. AP Calc is the only new prep for me this year. My history of courses during my first three years: Year 3 AP Computer Science A Honors Algebra II Pre-Calculus Algebra I Year 2 AP Computer Science A Algebra II Honors Algebra II Pre-Calculus Year 1 AP Computer Science A Algebra II Operating Systems Beginning Programming in Visual Basic Web Development Advanced Web Development I am used to a lot of preps. Many teachers at smaller schools routinely deal with 4 or more preps. Most of the staff has two preps; however, a hand full have many more preps. The technology teachers get hammered especially.

Is this the norm for your school? I don't know how well I'd do at that. Aside from the AB Calc are any of the others new preps? 4 preps? Is this the norm for your school?
