Post 2: Handing out my resume

So today was the day to get out there and visit the schools in my local area. I find this to be scary for a number of reasons. The main being trying to find the admin block - Today I found myself walking through playgrounds of children searching for the office.

One office lady told me that my approval to teach had expired in October 2006. Then proceeded to give me a lecture about how these forms need to be continually updated - I thought this was strange. I looked at my letter and it said effective from not expired.

So fingers crossed I will get some work because I need it.

Post 1: Why I'm starting this blog

Well I've been a teacher for a few years now. I've taught casually and fulltime in Australia. Recently I've travelled overseas and I've returned to an area where getting a fulltime position in a public school is almost minimal. So I'm setting out to record my efforts as a casual teacher on the East Coast of Australia.
