Long day, me wan go home.... Very busy at school today. Stephanie is out on vacation so I'm taking care of most of her responsibilities. They also put me in charge of training the new volunteer teachers. Not that they need help teaching, but maybe teaching these specific populations/communities, and I'm also explaining the paperwork involved in all that we do. Exciting, I know. Today I calculated out how many hours I have left, it was 260 something. I need to have those done by Nov 15th, which won't be a problem at all. Technically that's 43 some odd hours per time card. My supervisor showed up today to do evaluations and I got excellent on everything. He was nice to sign the form I needed to turn into the food stamp people. If he wouldn't have doen that I would have had to drive across town to get one of the other supervisors to sign it, and they might not have been willing to, or they might have wanted to check the actual records and blah blah blah so I'm just glad Chris decided to sign it and have me basically fill it out myself.
I got test results for my students today. I have 6 out of 23 moving up to Pre-Ged level, 1 going straight to GED, and 4-5 borderline people who may or may not move up according to how many seats become available in that section. One student was upset because her goal was to skip Pre-GED and move into the GED class. She has only sopent one session in ABE when for most students it takes 2-3 sessions to pass up into Pre-GED. I explained how she'd be behind even if she tested into that class, cuz they only place by reading scores so even though she can read at a high school level, her math and grammar and science and all that is still at elementary levels. She was still upset so I showed her the Pre-GED book and the GED book and asked her which one she'd rather do work from. That cleared things up a bit. Finally I said "Who would you rather want for a teacher... Pat in Pre-GED, or the crappy GED teacher..." So our talk made her feel much better. I'm very pleased with my students. I need to make them little achievement certificates or something.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
