New Position-Miss Tech Teacher
After searching high and low for another teaching opportunity for the 2011-2012 school year, I am happy to announce that my search has come to an end. I am now the new Technology Teacher (Tech for short) at an elementary school in Nashville TN. I was a little worried about this job at first because I was not sure if I could do it. I have a Masters Degree in Elementary Education with a Middle School Endorsement in English and History. The only computer knowledge that I know is basic stuff. I know my way around a computer pretty well, don't get me wrong, but I didn't know what the job entailed. So my new boss explained to me briefly what I will be doing, and I think I can handle it. I think it will be fun actually and I am quite excited about it. My classroom will be the computer lab with 25-30 computers. I will be teaching the entire student body K-4. That's right, I will have a really big roster of over 250 kids. So I will get to see all of the little tykes.On the faculty I am considered a Related Arts Teacher. Related Arts Teachers are those that teach: Art, Music, and P.E. From what I understand I will be teaching them basic keyboarding skills and other programs as well that will enhance their math and reading skills. There will be training involved, I will get the chance to go to Professional Development Classes and I will go to other schools and get a feel for what other Tech Teachers do. Honestly, I never knew such a position existed especially in the Elementary School setting. Usually the Tech Teacher works with the Library or Media Specialist, and I am not degreed in any of those subjects. However, I must say I know my way around the library pretty darn well. So this job will have some advantages and disadvantages I'm sure. One advantage is that I don't have to be bothered with state testing, and and advantage is that I get to do something that I love in the grade level that I am most comfortable in. Like I mentioned previously, I am creating another blog about my Tech Teaching job that I am excited about. I will tell you more about that as it comes. As of right now, school starts in about a week for me. I am very happy and blessed to have this position and, I believe and know I will be successful at it. I am going to sit back and embrace my New Position-Miss Tech Teacher :)
