So, it's been a year since I've written an entry on this blog. However, now is the first time in a year things have been relevant. Let's catch a bit first, shall we?
The past year has been filled with subbing. It was a good way for me to stay inside classrooms, even if they weren't mine. Students are students, and it was beneficial to stay in touch with that. I also made extra money working at a pizzeria, working my way up to Assistant Manager before leaving.
And that brings me to relevance. I now have a teaching job. It is only part time, but it is in a great school district in Northern California. Enrollment seems to be growing, so hopefully it turns to full time quickly. I'll be teaching 2 periods of 10th grade English and 1 period of Journalism. English seems pretty straight forward and I am not really too worried about that class. It's the Journalism that concerns me. It's turning to be a lot more than I thought. With all the fundraising I'll have to do, figuring out which printer would be the most cost effective for the newspaper, and learning how to teach Journalism, I am feeling a little overwhelmed.
I think I'll be fine. I am building a support team around me with the couple of teachers I met, and I get a strong feeling that they all want me to succeed.
