looking for a teacher?

are you looking for a teacher?

this one is 23 (soon 24), with long strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes and freckles. she has just completed three grueling months of student teaching where she taught 100% for the duration of her practicum. for the most part, she came out of the experience unscathed, though a few bitter feelings still associate themselves with the dying days of her practicum. she learned how to teach science, math, planning, p.e., french and humanities to grade 8 students while coaching cheerleading & dance, track & field, and ultimate. the students responded to her well and their grades improved under her tutelage, but evidence such as "le tigre est un oiseau" (no, tigers are not birds) leaves us to believe that there is much more to be taught to these newly donned teenagers. she has recently been hired in both the delta and coquitlam school districts, but has still yet to hear back from all of the districts that she applied to. there is the potential that she may be hired on to a full-time job in delta, but the 'coming soon' status on the delta district website is annoyingly ambiguous about what is happening with that particular job prospect.

if you're looking for a teacher, this one just might be the one. she's a wee bit crazy and she sings off-key, but she giggles while she teaches and is absolutely in love with teaching. she would surely welcome any opportunity to be stolen away for an interview (or really an anything) during the six dreadful weeks of summer school that ubc has currently committed her to.
