Welcome

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog, a collection of resources and ideas for those of you in my position, that is beginner teachers. 

We are in a crazy stage of our lives, stuck between our last year of learning to be teachers and our first year of becoming teachers. Ideas, content and suggestions are being thrown at us at a rapid rate, and if you are anything like me your head feels like it is about to pop right off your shoulders. I'm in the middle of putting together my online portfolio, finally working out what kind of teacher I am going to be, and thinking about all the things that I need to do before I can go about putting together that all important job application and apply for my very first job. With all these things going on, we have assignments, professional development and our final placements.

So in the midst of all this craziness, I have decided that I am going to do something for the good of us all, and start to pool resources and ideas that can be used in your final year of education and in those first critical years in school. Lucky for us, there are millions of people who have been exactly in the position we are in now. Its now just a matter of compiling the resources they have left for us, and learning from their successes and failures. 

One small note: I myself am studying to be a secondary teacher, so many of the things that I write and post will be focused on secondary education. However, I will also be posting general resources that can be applied in a primary setting as well. I shall do my best to cater for all educators :)

Happy Teaching!
