Well, I had my first training session for the ITA program. It's been an interesting experience so far, I really didn't know anything about it before my interview. Everyone's being very friendly, which is making this transition very easy. I'm looking forward to getting into the meat of the program, working out lesson plans and getting out there in front of a class. That's why we're all here, right?
Since the students run the full spectrum of high schoolers it should be interesting to see what kind of group's been assembled. The difference between a freshman and a senior is enormous and I imagine the curriculum reflects that. I'll have to look into the training classes for the different software since a good amount of it is beyond my experience but I'm looking forward to that as well. Children ain't the only ones who get to learn, after all.
Paul,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you are rearing to go and get in front of the classroom. That's what I like to see. I'd rather you mess up big time in front of all the kids, then hide and never get up there to see how much you can accomplish with them.
I'm excited!
