Teacher training and school preparation

This week I’m stuck in training. There is a giant stack of papers to my left that I’m told will guide me through the school year.

Currently I am scheduled to teach Academic English grades 11 and 12, EFL to grade 10, ACT Prep, Study Skills, and IELTS/TOEFL Prep to grades 11 and 12. Of course this is not what I applied for, but I welcome the subjects and think they’re actually a better fit for me long term.

On the side, I am picking up batik fabric for Ellie’s uniform. I can’t stop thinking about the dress pattern for her. It’s so cute! I promise pictures of her on her first day, next week.

In the meantime, strong coffee is needed to get through the day.
