I qualified in 2015 as a secondary maths teacher and finished my NQT year in 2016. Due to my degree in biological sciences I also teach some ks3 science. I came to the decision that I wanted to travel around christmas time, now i'm planning my trip and teaching full time. It definitely wasn't an easy decision and there were many factors at play here.
Ive gotten more and more involved with twitter and social media in relation to the school and cpd in general and decided that a great way to keep up cpd and knowledge of the sector would be to start this blog.
I can't promise any specific content but it will be a teachers perspective of traveling, ideas I have along the way that I think would be great in the class room and any thoughts on issues being tackled in the UK while I'm gone (or other countries for that matter).
Ive decided to keep it anonymous (though I doubt it would be hard to discover my identity) so that i'm not guarding what I write. I wouldn't say I have extreme views but better safe than sorry I suppose, what's the point in having a blog if you don't say what you think.
I also wanted a place to express my opinions and ideas and have like minded people give me their opinions.
Being a year long trip it would be amazing if there were schools along the way i could come visit and see how other cultures educate their students.
This is set to be a crazy year and im excited to share it with the world.
