Lindblom Math & Science Academy

I just heard from the principal of Lindblom and I accepted a teaching position with them. I'll likely also be coaching their debate team. Lindblom is a selective enrollment, college prep high school. I'm really excited about this position and this school. I'll be teaching Honors World History and Honors US History. All of the classes at LMSA are either honors or Advanced Placement.

This school also is very unique because it is the only high school in CPS that is on the "year round" distributed schedule. That means I start in early August and we have school for three months and are off for one. Basically I'll be off the entire months of November, March, and July. The school is also on what's called block scheduling. Instead of having seven or eight 45-minute classes every day, we have 100-minute classes two days a week. The fifth day, Wednesday, we have what are called colloquiums. These are sort of seminar courses not related to other academic courses.

I am really excited about this new school and the challenge it offers.
