A day...

It's the second week of the semester and it's starting to quiet down in our office, though I still have plenty to do. Here are some of the tasks I accomplished yesterday.

• Met for weekly prayer for our students and the program
• Checked in with the director and secretary
• Sat in on goal meetings with two full-time teachers
• Reserved a classroom for a teacher to use for a tutorial
• Chatted with our newest full-time teacher
• Talked with a teacher about students who were dropped for non-payment and students who wanted to grieve their class placement
• Admired Brian's diploma, when he stopped by after picking it up from the Registrar's office
• Wrote two (of four) role-play scenarios for the full-time staff retreat on Friday
• Printed fliers for a photo contest
• Dropped in the tutoring room to make sure everything was ready for the first day of tutoring and open lab; reminded the tutors to put the sign in the hallway outside the lab
• Checked with the secretary on the status of a student who still needed to be registered for classes
• Wrote an email to teachers regarding a student who moved levels
• Visited five classrooms to tell students about free tutoring and an upcoming photo contest
• Checked on a student who a teacher reported as not attending class; tracked down the reason why he didn't appear on the placement testing roster
• Met Betsy for lunch and went on a bike ride in the sweltering heat
• Sent an email to my "International Friends and Family" student

• Wrote a sticky note reminding myself to return a library book tomorrow
• Talked on the phone with the teacher whose students failed to show up for a tutorial; set an appointment to meet with them the next day
• Wrote a note reminding myself to contact the coordinator of the TESOL certificate program to finalize classroom placements for practicum students
• Organized my piles of papers and sticky notes to work on the next day
