Okay, I use the phrase "crunch time" very loosely because, technically, the entire two year period will be crunch time. I anticipate a very busy and trying experience - I think that's what excites me the most about the program!!!
Anyway, down to business...
I received my regional placement materials yesterday and this April is shaping up to be an interesting month. I have interviews with CPS principals and have to study my butt off for the certification exams in May and June. I could not be more excited for the interviews! It'll be really good for me to get the lay of the land and figure out housing issues and transportation for next year.
But, it must be said, that the TFA crew has been so uber helpful in making the transition from dedicated pre-med to high school teacher (I should say wannabe at this point because I'm not quite there yet). Seriously, we have good lines of communication, so I am very rarely overwhelmed with new material. In the grand scheme of things, I suppose the amount of paperwork is not too bad...tb tests...fingerprints...confidentiality agreements...the usual.
I have to say, though, every day, I am becoming more and more eager to get in the classroom and start teaching. It is just such an exciting prospect, especially for such an avid science nerd as myself, to be able to share that interest with students.
Stay tuned. I should be posting a new entry in the next week as I get more information.
