Placed!

I got a call from Rena Johnson (Manager of District Strategy at TFA) on Friday and I have been tentatively hired by Friendship Public Charter Collegiate Academy! She said that I'll get more information about everything and a formal offer next week, but it's definitely a weight off my shoulders to know that I got placed somewhere. I'm really looking forward to learning more about the school, and I'm especially looking forward to getting into the classroom! More details to come.

Second (and Third) Interviews

I had interviews last week with Paul Public Charter School and Thurgood Marshall Academy. Both seem like outstanding institutions - at this point, I'll be lucky to be placed at any of the three places I've interviewed! They all seem so fantastic. I'm so excited to get started. 5 days until the Praxis II and 69 days until Institute!

First Interview

I got my first interview at a school called Collegiate Academy, which is a part of the Friendship Public Charter School system. I will be meeting with the principal on Friday, who, based on a quick Google search, seems like a very accomplished and inspiring woman. I need to prepare a five to seven minute lesson plan on a math topic to present to her, which I'm really excited about. Even though it's only a "test run," giving a lesson makes all this seem more real.
