Hi Tim!
Former teacher here.
I have taught some—but very little - EA stuff at high school, and would be happy to share my limited experience.
More importantly, if you ever feel like you’d benefit from talking to a fellow European ex-teacher about a career pivot, definitely reach out! I’m currently doing some EA research, a bunch of independent projects and will go through the CE Incubation Program in a few weeks (as a surprising amount of ex-educators have).
(You might think this is not important right now since you’ve committed to another year of teaching, but if you knew that your long-term career plan was to become an entrepreneur, an academic, a project manager, community-builder, I would probably prioritize getting some experience doing these things inside or outside the classroom, rather than “teaching EA”.)
I totally agree that outside the classroom experience will be very valuable for my future career; and I am searching for something like what you suggest next to teaching for three days a week.
I would love to hear your experience at your high school. What EA ‘stuff’ did you teach? We can also communicate via another channel if you would prefer so.

Hi Moritz, thanks for your response.
