On Wednesday, I got called in for an interview for a position at an alternative high school. We scheduled the interview for the next day, Thursday at 1:00. At about 3:30, the principal called and offered me the job!!
Here are a few stipulations...I have a job only because the previous art teacher is on leave for medical reasons. She'll be gone for a semester for sure, and she could come back anytime after that. She also left me all her lesson plans. It's kind of a bummer that she could come back, but I'm still excited about the opportunity! I'm kind of worried about the whole "alternative school" situation, and as the principal put it, "I walked out of my office and I honestly thought you were a student waiting for your schedule." Gee, thanks. So, some students are as old as 21, ALL students test their boundaries, and I need to show them who's boss.
Overall, I'm grateful for the opportunity. I know it will be difficult, but I'm ready!
The problem...
Students come back on the 24th and I have no lesson plans, and to top it off, I don't know what classes I'm teaching. I mean, obviously I'm teaching art, but I have no clue what art classes I'm teaching. Oh well, it will work out!
