Accepting change blog for week of 2/1

This week I have been faced with the reality that I may be placed at another school next year to teach. I guess I was not aware that when you sign a contract that you belong to the county..... not the school; therefore, the county can move you and place you wherever needed. We have a new school opening in our county next year and instead of creating an opening, the school might just move me into the vacant opening. This might not be so bad if they were moving me to the brand new school with a new lab, but they are probably going to move me to the oldest school in our county because another teacher has put in a transfer. :( I guess I will just have to make lemonade out of the lemons handed to me. We will not know for sure about the changes for about another month or two but for now I am making copies of all files and looking for a few empty boxes in case of a move in the future.

    Becky,
    There is a man at my school now that had something like that happen. I never realize that we do belong to the county, and not the school. That would be a change that I would have to accept as well. I would be hurt, but I know I couldn't take it personal However, look on the bright side. You have a chance of getting the job at the new school, with a new lab. Think positive and make it happen.:)

    Becky,
    You are so right about having to make lemonade from lemons. I believe teachers have to be the most flexible (more than a contortionist at times)people on earth! Hang in there girl. I know that if anyone can do well with change it will be you. You are an awesome teacher and now you will have the opportunity to create the program of your choosing. Let me know if I can do anything to help if this does come about.
