Saturday was the second day of training! We started our animal handling training. I got to see all the animals in Creekside and learn how to handle them. We also got to watch two of the senior eco-explorers perform the Discovery Theatre show. The show had such a great conservation message. We got assigned our partners and our parts for when we have to perform the show ourselves. I luckily got the smaller part. This year's show is all about animal movements. I get to handle the Madagascar hissing cockroach and the chuckwalla in the show. For this week's training, we are all giving an "About Me" presentation. It only has to be two minutes long, but I am still pretty nervous about it. I am going to talk about my love for teaching.
On another note, I am still trying to find a graduate program that will prepare me to teach history. I am still so disappointed that Western Governor's University did not work out, but I do not think I want to teach secondary education anyway. There were just so many problems substitute teaching near the end and the politics surrounding public school teachers in Utah is only getting worse. I may get just a regular master's degree in history and teaching community college. I have found some pretty good online programs.
I'll keep you updated on zoo training. I will also try to write next week about teaching for International Language Programs in Thailand. I recently got accepted as a head teacher for fall 2017 as well! I'll be sure to update when I get assigned to a country!
