Professional Developments

Today was a busy day working so that I have options for this summer and next year.

This morning, I had my science specialist interview with the district. I have to clear the district hurdle before I can interview with my principal. Overall, I felt that it went very well. They said that my answers and the goals I presented were very impressive for a second-year teacher.

This afternoon, I received a phone call from the national TFA office. They wanted to setup a phone interview for the Program Director position I applied for a week and a half ago. Hopefully, this interview will take place sometime this week.

Tonight, I was offered the Corps Member Advisor position with TFA for the summer institute in Houston. I accepted the position and was very excited to hear that several friends (Emily, Adam, Sam, Beth) were offered positions as well. This means that I'll be spending all of June and half of July training about 18 new corps members in the ways of TFA. I'll be their first TFA coach and will be their "training supervisor" during the summer training program.

Exciting things are finally happening.

Matthew! I didn't know you were blogging again. I miss you. I really do. How do we live in the same town and never see each other? So sad. Really.

Um... can you stay here next year? I'm moving closer to Montrose. I'll make time. I'll make cookies. Please?

I saw my name on the CMA post. Bad news bears, had to turn it down. I'm working KIPP summer school. A little part of me cried when I hit reject on the survey. :(
