Wow, you’re the kind of teacher I wish I worked with. Good luck in your new school. I’m glad you are out there somewhere.

Congratulations on your new assignment and thank you for sharing your mind. As I read your response you give me inspiration for taking control of my destiny in teaching. I look forward to reading more.

Excellent post! I love the passion behind your teaching. As I’m finishing up my first year of teaching, I am getting SO excited about next year-just all the things I want to do with my classes.
Congratulations on the windows

Hi there,

This was an interesting post as I too am headed to a brand new high school in the fall. I’m excited. I’m nervous. I’m invigorated. There is a wealth of opportunity in a new school. There is no “old boy” culture. There is no real seniority. Everyone is on the same page or at least in the same chapter.

My school has had design team meetings, all voluntary, in order to write proposals for Small Learning Communities in our district. I’ve been lucky to work with a few of my new colleagues but I’m definitely looking forward to a dinner that has been planned for the new faculty. But before that, the teachers in the new SLC I’ll be in are having happy hour in two weeks. How cool that people are trying to connect long before we work together.

I hope your transition goes smoothly and I’ll be looking here for a peek at what opening a new school looks like.
