new teachers don't usually get to do this

Yesterday our tiny staff of 4 got taken out to a nice lunch and were given the afternoon off so we could have a meeting to discuss the school's concept. We met with curriculum coordinators and the school's founders as well as some parents and the non profit organization that we're a part of. The aim of the meeting was to revamp, rewrite and rethink the school's current concept, which was written without the help of teachers!

Now that we know the children and the school has been established for almost 2 years, they wanted a fresher view on the original concept. We decided on class sizes, who should be admitted and the break down of the grades. It was amazing and inspiring and an incredible , once in a life time opportunity. Despite having sat in a board room for close to 7 hours, I left with a renewed appreciation for the school and my work.
