After five interviews, four campus visits, one Skype conversation, a five page philosophy of teaching essay and umpteen emails and phone calls, I have a verbal offer to become the choral/music teacher at a private middle school this upcoming year!
My classroom is directly above the glass doors on the far right side of this photo~it is the most gorgeous physical space that I have ever worked in. Large windows overlooking those oak trees that I love. THREE sound proof studios with pianos just off my room. A healthy budget for anything I want/need. Private staff bathroom (you've no idea how awesome that is). Keurig and a microwave on my counter. Tons of storage. Nice risers that are the middle schools alone. A brand new chapel building with a fully equipped stage (professional lighting and sound boards).
And from the classes I taught in the spring? A curious and engaged student population. Here's to the next resume entry!
Congratulations! I look forward to reading of your happy adventures there...
ReplyDeleteAs of this reply, the contract has been issued and signed and delivered! Ms. Dunston is back!!!
DeleteWow - I wouldn't have believed that the top picture was anything but an artist's rendering of a building except that the grass isn't perfectly green. Sheesh, it's fancy. I remember thinking Ursuline was fancy - this tops that without breaking a sweat.
ReplyDeleteUrsuline? Really? It was such a run-down campus. The choir room had built in risers~that was quite nice.
DeleteI'll be posting more photos once I have keys and am walking around the campus!
