Trying to find my feet in a world of education
Welcome. If you are reading this then I hope you have already realised that I am a teacher, a primary school teacher to be exact. I have been debating whether to create a blog for a long time now but on Saturday 22nd March 2014, whilst lying in bed with a cup of English tea I have decided to go for it.
At this stage, I am unsure where this blog will take me but I do want it to express my views on the current education system here in the UK, provide teaching resources, teacher tips and pretty much anything else I come across relating to what I do and what I love.
So.... who, what, and where am I now?

| This is currently me |
As you can see from the above photo, I am currently a supply teacher. But before I got here I had 4 years at Plymouth University studying a BEd (Hons) in Primary Education with a specialism of ICT (now turned to Computing). I graduated last July with QTS and a 2:1 for my degree. Today, I am working for a teaching agency in the Westcountry, while it is not always full-time work it is providing me with greater experience and even greater confidence for when I do finally master that one interview and get myself my first teaching post.
I am currently a Twitter and Pinterest fanatic, the resources available on these platforms are endless and I have found so many useful and effective teaching materials whilst browsing upon them. Please feel free to find and add me as I am constantly pinning and tweeting what I find.
As I come to end of my first blog post, I feel I have started something which has the potential to be a great use to myself and anyone who comes across when browsing on the Internet. I will try and keep a weekly update at least about whats happens in my world. I also need to make decision on my next career move after the Summer term as I have had two offers for long-term placement. 1. is full-time at large junior school and 2. is 0.6 rota at a small village school. Both will count towards my NQT year and both have the potential to have a full-time job come September. However, I need to decide which school will support and value my contribution the most. Hopefully the next next blog I post, I would have made a decision and can sort of say "I finally have a teaching post" (well kind of).
