I can't wait!

I'm so excited. Now that I feel more confident and settled into this position and school, and I can't wait to begin. I am so lucky. There are 20 teaching fellows in the school including the principal and assistant principal, who are so awesome.

I went to City college and had my bill validated (since I don't pay and it's FREE). I spoke to some professors in the special ed. department and they were surprised at how good I have it. Those SETSS positions are very hard to come by and are great for new teachers. I'll get to see so many different classes and work very closely with the students. It could be very rewarding. I remember a lot of students I tutored at East Side House, it was amazing to have such a close connection and be part of the student's success. I also get to teach an elective course and run an advisory. I could teach anything and I think I may do a debate/mock trail course, the asst. princ. said he had a nice curriculum. The advisory will be fun too, we can talk about anything. The IEP work might not be as demanding as I expected, because they've hired another special ed. fellow to split up the work.

The days could not be going any slower.
