Do not let how much you love family members influence switching to elementary special education.
The elementary kids aren't your nieces or nephews, who actually care what you have to say.
Stick with the grades you are teaching now. The curriculum will stay the same, which in turn will make for an easier transition.
I'm moving back to PA next month so hopefully the district I teach at doesn't believe in the portfolio system yet.
