The Adventure Begins Shortly! In less than one week the movers pack me up and move my things back to my my hometown of Fort Myers, Florida, where I will become a high school teacher again. At the moment I am jobless, but I have had several interviews and know of openings. I just have to be patient until the jobs are posted so I can apply. I am retooling this blog so that I can chronicle my experiences as a classroom teacher. After ten years at the university level, I am sure it will be a big adjustment (my bladder will have to adjust, that's for sure). I spent 2004 and 2010 teaching or co-teaching full-time and part-time, so I am not worried about knowing "reality." What I do wonder about is my ability to connect with kids. Going back at my age I really hope so. I hope my colleagues in English education, former students, and other teachers will weigh in as I "get schooled."
