Co-teaching Types
Each teacher, including Foreign and Local Teachers, is in charge of
course designing and teaching for one situational classroom. In the
process of designing, through peer review and teaching demonstration,
the co-teaching can be achieved.

Building curriculum is always something I have wanted to do, so I can't wait for this opportunity to start.

I will be attending an orientation in Indianapolis in early July, where I will meet the other three teachers who are going from Indiana. I will be leaving for Taiwan at the end of July in order to be there for the start of an orientation on August 1. I've also been firming up the visa application process and making sure I have all of my shots and a complete physical. The end of school is quickly approaching, which has raised by anxiety level about moving to a foreign country, but I'm still very excited. Busy, Busy, Busy!

  1. 4:56 a.m.!Wow that's early. It is exciting to read about where you are going and all you will be doing. Sounds like a lot of challenge, excitement, responsibility. I am sure I would be overwhelmed. You have been a great teacher at Feeser and I can't wait to read about your adventures in Taiwan!
