I waded through some more of my paperwork this evening. This is what I have discovered thus far:
- I am only required to work 12 hours per week in the school.
- I am not allowed to work in the school more than four days per week. (This is to encourage participation in a university class or other further education.)
- I may not be responsible for courses.
- I may not teach other subjects.
- I may not be a regular substitute teacher.
- I may not correct and grade coursework or homework.
- I may not dole out punishments.
- I may not be responsible for students. This includes field trips.
- I will be receiving ~800€ per month for said work.
So, basically, I'm getting paid to just be there.
My life is awesome.

That is amazing. 800 Euro is like...infinity dollars to me.
So if you work 48 hours a month you get €800. And if you work, let say, 120 hours a month you get… €800? Nice gig. What if you wanted to do something like get a part-time job in a German kaffeehaus to get a little extra money? Would that be allowed?

Firstly, sorry about the super late reply. Not having Internet for a month puts a damper on one's virtual social life.
As for the second job... As a Fulbright Scholar, I am not allowed to take up any other remunerative work. I could intern or volunteer, as long as I am not compensated for it. The only exception is if the Fulbright Commission approves it.
The whole point of the program (and the short working hours) is to have time to immerse oneself in one's task and work as well as in the German culture.
Bummer, in a way, but it makes sense.
