A New Year

I am glad I have blogged as much as I have in the past about my teaching. I hope to bring that back and blog on a regular basis because it is a new year and I am at a new school. I also think that all teachers should blog for the reflection aspect: we learn from ourselves, but only if we reflect.
At this new school, I plan on observing as many other teachers as possible. Not only should I observe the veteran teachers, I also would like to observe the newer teachers. New and old, we all have something to offer. So that is the plan. Observe and reflect.

Job offer

First blog of the new school year. It's time to go back and look through my old entries.

Summer break is almost over! Normally, I wouldn't be so excited to say that, but I just got a call today with a job offer. I will be working at a junior high! This is exciting for me because I had been to ten or more interviews; all saying no, including this school.

On my way back from the interview, I ran into my old computer-class teacher who is now principal of our elementary school. He told me the students at the district I interviewed at our rowdy and the staff really get into politics, but the pay scale is good. That is fine. I can deal with rowdy students and I don't really get into politics.

I guess one of the people they chose either backed out or did not check out. Either way, I have a job. That means I can keep writing in this blog.

I don't know how many more days of break I have. I need to go through the hiring process and school already started for them. I know that I will be spending those days moving into my new place and organizing my things.
