Diary of a Trainee Teacher

A friend and fellow blogger recently blogged about her personality profile, and this inspired me to do the same. Imagine my surprise when I learned that my personality type (ENFJ) is perfectly suited to teaching, I was intrigued.

Hello and welcome to my blog. 

Despite spending years insisting that I didn’t want to be a teacher, and that linguists had many other alternative career options, I recently had an epiphany. I was sitting at my desk at work and suddenly realised that I needed more. I need a challenge, I need to make a difference, I need a job where every day is different …. You see where I’m going with this?

Anyway, the application is underway, the choices made and the reference requested. I’m hoping to use this blog as a way of tracking my progress from beginning to end, as well as a way of getting in touch with other people in a similar situation.

I’ll use this space to rant about the applications process, to fret about my interview and to review any useful books or teaching materials I come across along the way! I hope visitors to my blog will share their thoughts on teaching, classroom management, the applications process and anything else that comes to mind.
