I am officially an official SUBSTITUTE TEACHER for San Francisco Unified School District!! Whoo hoo!

AND, my first job is Wednesday... subbing for MILES! He has another Student Teacher this semester [more on that later...], and it is going to be one of her Solo Days. SO, I can just sit back, let her teach, and pick up the paycheck. Not bad for my inaugural subbing experience [actually, I subbed back in Indiana a bunch of years ago...].

It is SO great that I got on the sub list - it is closed and they aren't accepting applications [plus, my unemployment just ran out last week...], but the Principal at Bryant wrote a letter specifically requesting that myself and some others get special permission so that we could sub at Bryant. It paid off, and it means that I have a toe in the door with SFUSD toward getting a full-time teaching job this coming Fall. No word on the whole "Miles-is-leaving-for-a-year-so-I-might-get-his-classroom" situation. He told me today that he got officially accepted at Stanford for next year, but didn't mention my taking his spot at Bryant for a year. I guess I need to step up and bring it up. I just get the impression from him, though, that it isn't really a probability anymore. It's just my perception, however, and I guess I should wait until I know for sure before jumping to conclusions. Wow, watching Starting Over is paying off...
