Last Day at Focus

TSPC had told me they would respond about my license by 5pm yesterday. I did not get a chance to call them yesterday in the afternoon, so I called first thing in the morning. I was told it was still under review, and I would know sometime during the morning. So one thing I learned from Randy Spricks' CHAMPs training, "When in doubt, teach." So I went through with my plan for the day.
The plan was to give everyone a diagnostic test on fractions, and talk about their past math classes. I was able to do that, and I realized nobody remembers fractions. Plan for the start of the year,fractions, then start teaching everybody from the start of the class. No one who had passed part of class before felt confident in anything they had done, and they would not mind starting from the beginning.
While my food was nuking during lunch I called TSPC again. The verdict, I was approved for a transitional license as long as I was not teaching at an alternative school. So I promptly called my principal to see what we could do. Final result, I cannot teach at FOCUS. However there is a half time position at another high school. So time to keep my fingers crossed, or go to plan C.
