I am pleased to announce that I am now the proud owner of a teaching position with the Greenbush organization.
The specific program is called 500 Reach, which partners with the Kansas City, KS, school district. My students are adults who initially did not finish high school, but are now returning to pursue their high school diplomas.
My work will include tutoring individual students as they take a variety of computer-based courses, tracking student progress, assigning appropriate lessons and homework, restructuring the 500 Reach writing program and doing writing workshops with students, and best of all?
No more grading papers at basketball games! Now there's something to cheer about!
In order to help each student, I'll have to brush up on my Chemistry, my Algebra II, and my Shakespeare, for that matter.
This job is a serious, specific answer to prayer. I am overwhelmed at the way the Lord allows us to come to a place of desperation...
(exhibit A: Me thinking it would be fun to have a baby, because I was getting bored at home)
so we will recognize our need for His providence and grace. Why do I forget to remember the promises of Philippians 4 ? "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
