Today, we had our first day at our new school. We met the bus at 7:45AM after having missed two trams to get there....ugh! Then we got a scenic tour of the outskirts of Rome before we pulled into the school. When we arrived, we were supposed to be meeting someone from the Head of School's office, but the office was closed, so another teacher was kind enough to show us all to our cooperating teachers rooms. This kind of screwed up getting ourselves accounts and access to different things in and around the school, but it all worked out.
When I sat down with my first cooperating teacher, I got her schedule and realized that it might be an interesting time for me. Although I am student teaching and I should be taking over classes, I can't really do that with the AP (Advanced Placement) or IB (International Baccalaureate) classes because of the rigorous testing at the end of the year...problem is both of my cooperating teachers have mostly AP/IB courses! Right now it looks like I will be teaching two main classes and then just observing/assisting in their other classes as needed. Overall, this two cooperating teachers deal is a bit confusing and complicated...
Anyway, after a bit, we did get accounts and access figured out and I got myself a lunch account for the school and internet access and all of the requisite information. Tomorrow, I will be sitting in on one of my teacher's classes for the day, then we have a meeting with all three of us, my cooperating teachers and myself, on Friday morning to discuss where things will go from here!
Ciao for now.
Kyle
