Teaching 101
When I first moved to Germany I wished that I had taken German in college. Today, I'm wishing that I had taken at least one education class while at Covenant. While I was at school the other day signing my contract I was given a list of recommended reading to better understand teaching at a classical school. (Don't ask me what a classical school is, at least not yet.) Anyway, I was given a rather long list, and I went on Amazon and found all the books used. Why buy them? Because the language is so thick that I have to write in the margins to understand what I'm reading. I feel like I'm in college all over again, and honestly, after two years of being out of the routine, I'm not sure I'm doing so well jumping back in. Not to mention that my dorm room didn't have internet access or a television. Have I ever mentioned that I am easily distracted? My desk faced the wall (instead of the window) for a reason.
Right now, while posting, I'm also apartment hunting. Sadly, being a teacher is a significant increase in pay. Teachers don't make much money, which tells you what a pittance I receive from my current place of employment. So, with the increase in pay I should be able to afford an apartment. I'm not sure who's more excited, me or my parents (who keep offering to help me move.) So, I get to move out. Any chance anyone wants to move to Lakeland? I'm looking for a roommate!

Hey thanks for your comment on my blog!! I'm pretty excited about the jobs, and also found another post like that one at another university in town which pays more, and is only 4 days per week, which would be ideal! So we'll see.
Here's a question: how do you get your blog to feed in to your scots alumni page? i think i keep typing it in wrong or something, because it keeps going to arthouse.blogspot.com, which is somebody else's site. (mine has www. in front of it, like yours.)
in what format do you type your blog in to the feed window? (does that question make sense?)
Love al xx
I can't get mine to work either. I just gave up!
But it does work - i just went to your scotsalum page and your blog feed said below it 'Teaching 101' and if I click on it, it takes me to your blog site.
what did you type to get that?
oh, well, just below the box where you edit your feed it says http:.... Well, anyway, just type it in exactly like that but substitute your blog's name for the part that says myaccount! good luck
