Success! I have now taught Form 3! Though I will be teaching more periods of Form 1 (b/c it’ll be Chem + Physics), I consider my Form 3 classes slightly more important b/c they are closer to the national exams at the end of Form 4 that will determine if they continue with schooling or not. Granted, I didn’t do much more than introduce myself and have my students stand and tell me the village/hamlet they are from but at least I got in the classroom.
On the noticeboard by the head- and 2nd-masters’ offices was the list of teacher responsibilities. I am:
Chemistry Department head
Classmistress for Form 1A
Sports & Games Coordinator
Environmental Care Coordinator
& Computer Room person
When was this decided? Maybe Friday when I was in Katesh to meet the district officials or maybe the headmaster just decided. Why do I have a disproportionate amount of duties? Again, no idea. I hope my coworkers aren’t jealous because I have a Peace Corps imposed limit on the number of periods I can teach per week (thankfully; though I’m still over the limit of 24 since I have 30). With this many responsibilities I think I’ll be busy every day after school lessons (the activity time after lunch). Luckily there are 2 coordinators for 4 things I am listed for so I am not alone, which is great because I have no idea what I am supposed to do.
