14 Music Teachers?!?!

Yes, you read that right. There are 14 of us listed on the website. Of course, a good many of them are piano teachers. And you also have to remember that we only teach a couple classes. Me, I have Intermediate and Advanced band. so, 4 classes a week. And then lessons. And the VP today said something that I hadn't recognized yet. One of the new volunteers was like "Well, with all the assemblies everyday, and the pro d on tuesdays, when do we have time to PLAN?!" and the VP said "it looks like a lot when we state it all out there like this, but each teacher only teaches 30 periods per 6 day cycle"...

1st:
Each day has 10 periods
So, 6 day cycles= 60 periods a cycle.
So technically, we're only teaching half days... or, if you want, i guess you could have 3 days off a week... (well, 2 on some weeks)...

So, that's actually pretty ideal. AWESOME!

There's also a lot of ways to get involved in the spiritual side of the school, as well as with CAS and do work with the students in the local orphanages, so I'm WAY excited.

:-)

I think it will be a good first year of teaching.

It was a good day, even with dumb questions all the time. ;-)

Not much else to say. I'm going to go and get ready for bed as I'm exhausted and tomorrow looks like it's going to be a long day.

Peace out homes!
