The woman that I will be teaching with has been at that specific school for 17 years. She sounds like a great teacher according to her bio online. The school has a terrific website which impressed me.
Most of the classes are geared towards the classics, I noticed. I could not BELIEVE that they are still reading them to the extent they are. I thought it would be great to throw in some modern day novels, as well, but that isn't up to me as I will be following the head teachers lesson plans.
I substitute taught for a few years and coached, etc. I have a good feel for high school students and enjoy them very much. I have a niece and a nephew in their late teens and we have a lot of fun together.
Thanks so much for your input. I will keep those pointers in mind when I start in January!
