So I finally connected with my new boss today via phone and she gave me some details about just what I have signed myself up for....
I will be teaching at the middle school (housed at Jim Parsley Center) and I have the luxury of being the only staff member that gets to stay just at the middle school location. All the other staff members must travel between the middle school and high school location (ok, so we're one school, but until we get a school site, we have two locations, with the high school being up at WSU-V).
However, with the luxury of being 'homebound' comes the responsibility of filling in LOTS of curricular holes. I thought moving into middle school, I might teach one or two subjects... Nope, I will be teaching 7 different subjects! (I think, awaiting confirmation of my list, because I seem to be missing something). I get the regular subjects like science, math, English/Language arts, but I also get a section of Health/PE and I will also teach an Elective. In conversations with my boss, it seems like we have A LOT of freedom of choice and how this will be designed.
I am SOOO excited about this opportunity. I can't wait to see who else I am working with. I have a lot of creative ideas, but I know I have a lot of learning to do also, since I haven't taught middle school before. I also am gathering that I am working with people that have specific subject endorsements and are way more 'experty' in their field. I have a lot of content to learn as well, I am sure!
Can't wait to get this started!
