Is it possible to be a first year elementary teacher, coach HS track, and take 2-3 graduate level courses?

Is that physically possible? I guess I would be more likely to ask, is that mentally possible? The graduate courses would be in physical education.

That would depend. It is physically possible to do anything that you set your mind to, however, you have to take a few things into consideration: Are you married or do you have a family of your own at home? Will this take away from the students that you teach? (i.e. are you able to maintain your students’ needs overall, meet with students who may need the extra help, address parents concerns with their child’s progress, etc) You can do it, but maintaining an overall altruistic life, dedicated to not only yourself and what you want to accomplish, but also ensure that those who depend on you are successful as well. Best of luck.

Possible? Yes. Smart? Not at all. Unless you plan to burn out pretty quickly you have got to slow down. Concentrate on the teaching, coach only if it is fun, and let school go for a while.
