Waiting by the Phone

I remember in college waiting by the phone a few times because I was dying for the boy I'd met the night or two before to call me. I never wanted to be "that girl" because let's face it, I didn't "need" a man in order to make me happy, but I will admit there were a few times that I would sit in the near vicinity of the phone staring and hoping that it would suddenly be that guy on the other end asking me out. Oh how times have changed, now I'm waiting for a school to call and offer me a job. I'm trying to just go on with my day and not think about it, but it's hard. I haven't had an interview in 6 years and I really am hoping that the phone rings with good news.

The interview went very well! There are 2 positions open (I had only known about the 5th grade position prior to me arriving at the interview) and I interviewed for both of them, though they seemed more interested in me for the 4th grade intervention teacher because of my experience in FL schools. I was interviewed by the assistant principal and the intervention specialist, both were very nice. They had me tell about my teaching experience, how I determined who needed interventions, which programs I was using, my classroom behavior plan and just other odds and ends questions. I'm pretty interested in the intervention specialist job because I feel that it would be a little less work because I wouldn't have my own classroom. I would be focusing more on teaching lessons to under performing children and working with the classroom teachers. I wouldn't have my own classroom, I'd be doing push in where I would be meeting with the students in their classroom and working very closely with all the fourth grade teachers.

So they told me that they wanted to have a decision made by the end of the week and would call and let me know one way or the other. I guess I can be happy that it's Wednesday and that means that I should only have to wait a couple of days to get an answer. At the end of the interview I asked if I could have a tour of the school so I also got a tour from the Parent Liaison and got a little more face time with him. I'm really hoping that I made a last impression and did what I needed to do to get this job!
