Opportunity Knocking

I was unexpectedly offered a part time job today. I attended my Gifted and Talented committee meeting today. After lunch we discussed writing up the handbook for the program. We were broken up into teams of 4 and given a section of the handbook to start writing. As the group I was in was doing this, I was approached by the person in our school district who has headed up this committee. She asked me if I wanted to be the first TA (teacher's assistant) that they hire for the upcoming school year. That is what the gifted/talented teachers are called. It would be slightly less than 20 hours a week. The way we have set it up so far is for a TA to be in charge of the Gifted/Talented program at 2 schools. So if I took this opportunity I would have 2 schools with students in at least the 4th & 5th grades but possibly 1st-5th grade students that I would be working with in small groups. I would do enrichment activities and lessons with them twice a week. I told her I would think about it and let her know. So what do you think? She said I was exactly what they were looking for. Someone who had gifted kids and was involved in the schools and community. This would be WAY out of my comfort zone. But I would obviously receive training and I think it would be an interesting challenge. I don't know...it is very scary. If you have any advice that would be great! I have talked with Layne and Andrew about how they feel and as yet are undecided. There are a lot of things up in the air. I will obviously make this a matter of prayer and it will be a family decision, but I would appreciate any input.
