We've received a tentative idea of what we will be teaching next year at IA!
Nothing is set in stone right now, so this is only what things are shaping up to be at the moment. As with everything else with trying to go overseas and teach, things are subject to change:-)
Still, we are very excited to have another concrete step that hits home once again that we really are going to be doing this.
Right now, I (Matt) may be teaching 7th/8th grade and 9th/10th grade students. I will probably be teaching a combination of history and Bible classes. Amanda at the moment will probably be doing AP English classes for 11th and 12th grade, as well as 5th and 6th grade English. We are both very excited about these possibilities, and even if they do change we are excited about whatever we will have the opportunity to teach. While its mildly terrifying to think that I will have to teach middle-schoolers (I'm only 22 and middle school already feels so hazy that I sometimes doubt I ever went through it), I am ready to give it my best shot and all of my effort. Amanda is very excited about both ends of the spectrum that she will get to teach. No matter what, this is going to be as big a learning experience for us as it ever will be for our students. Still, that's just part of the adventure, and we are looking forward to it, whatever shape it may end up taking by the time we get there!
