Job interview

My interview for a new teaching position went really well. It seems that I have the right qualifications and qualities. I answered some of the questions before they were asked. I think that the interviewer was impressed that I am already familiar with the new TEKS. We also talked about some instructional units that I have planned.

I brought up my desire to sponsor a newspaper and yearbook and that excited her. They had been talking about doing a newsletter and thinking that a newspaper would be in the future. I think I impressed them with my experience in the AP program and in GT.

The school will start next year with only four core teachers, so I would be the English teacher. That would be interesting, exciting and scary. They will be using a lot of technology and that would be great. I would even have a good quality video camera so I could have students create documentaries, etc.

This would be a great opportunity.

Tonight a big storm passed through. There was an incredible amount of lightning. At one point Ron thought he heard a tornado and we got ready to go into the closet for safety. Luckily no tornado. Moriahs lights are out, so she has the worst of family members.
