possible good news
So I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had filled out an application with Harmony Science Academy charter school. Well I never really expected to hear back from them, but when I woke up this afternoon, I had a voicemail from them. They want to set up an interview with their Principal!
I didn't get up in time to call them back today, so I'm going to call on Monday morning to see when they want to meet with me. I am equal parts excited and terrified. This is a way for me to get my foot in the door with teaching, and is probably a pretty cool gig. I really want to do well at this interview, so I've been going over in my head what I'm going to say when I am asked why I want to be a teacher. I'm also trying to find a way to downplay the fact that I don't have much coursework in computers, so that I can hopefully teach some of that.
I think what I'm going to do is emphasize my experience at Microbiology and at the A-J as proof that I'm qualified to teach a course on Web Design.
I've also been mulling over what to say if asked why I think I'd be a good teacher. I'm trying to come up with ways that I can get these kids interested in learning, so that I can have something to say about this in the interview as well.
I think this speaks to how much I've grown up in the past year that I'm actually trying to prepare for this interview instead of just showing up and hoping for the best.
Wish me luck!
