Work Stuff

omorkaUgh, too much school stuff this summer. Just finished an AP Summer Institute for Calculus BC, because while I taught Calc AB this last year and am currently scheduled to do so this year, the person who is currently teaching Calc BC has just finished a master's in educational administration & supervision, which means sometime between Now and a few years she will be looking for an assistant principal's position. That means someone needs to be ready to take BC if she leaves, especially if a position opens up late in the summer (which has been known to happen). The AP Stats teacher and I thought about arm wrestling for it, but we decided since I was already teaching AB it made more sense for me to take it. So now I am at least minimally qualified to teach Calc BC if I need to. Honestly, while I kind of mind having to get up at 6:30 AM during summer break, I didn't mind taking the training - the dude teaching it is an old acquaintance from early on in my teaching career, and it never hurts to have a solid understanding of the next course in your sequence.
Monday I have to go in to our campus for a few hours to contribute to a possible training for middle school GT/Pre-AP/Pre-IB teachers. They need feedback on what our 9th graders need to know to be successful when they get to our campus, and the dude who just retired is not going to come back and give his two cents about Geometry, so I probably should. At least I'll get some extra duty pay for my time.
The first week in August, I have a training similar to the APSI but for the Pre-AP classes (in my case, Precalculus). I'm hoping I can come back from that with stuff I can use in my classroom directly.
At least I have all of July to write fanfic (in my new excruciatingly tiny fandom)?
