So, I've just been accepted to Teach For America for fall of 2009! I'm excited, yet nervous because I obviously have no teaching experience. I'll be moving to Indianapolis, Indiana at the end of the summer. Before that I have to go to Atlanta, Georgia for training. Oh yeah, I'll be teaching high school Spanish. (eek).
Sooo I guess the point of this thread is - does anyone have any experience teaching? What about similar programs like TFA? I was looking into joining the Peace Corps if this didn't work out, but a 2 year commitment overseas is just too daunting.
Also, less probable, but does anyone know the Indianapolis or Atlanta areas? I have absolutely no idea what to expect in either places, but I'm excited as I've lived in the same city for 22 years!
