Term 2 was rough. It was busy; it was chaotic; it was filled with cultural and personal clashes; it was filled with role discovery, role changing; it was hard; it is over.
Term 3 will be hard. It will be filled with schedule clashes; it will have meetings that go on forever; it will be future-defining for learners; it will be evaluative; it will be good. Teachers have been hard at work for a solid week now, and we are already getting into the swing of things. I am super impressed at how well everyone here has hit the ground running with lessons, planning and we're already starting assessing learners on our bi-weekly schedule. Files are submitted, schemes of work are complete, and the management of this school is doing everything in its power to empower teachers for the second round of evaluation from the head office of the ministry this term.
Learners are participating in a drama, we've gotten the sports program going already, and entertainment programming has started rolling in to the committee for approval. We've set our goals in Life Skills, and now we're moving into communication skills. Listening, calm communication and compromising. From there we're moving into sex ed, and I couldn't be more excited!
Bring. It. On. Term. 3!
