What is this place?

Jump to Comments

This blog is intended to be about my real life now - which I estimate to be my Real Life Number 9.

Real Life Number 9 is as an adult literacy teacher, for a non-profit organisation, in an English speaking country.

When you get to my age, you feel as though you have lived at least several lives!

And because I have moved around quite a bit… lived in different countries, and pursued various professional interests or ambitions, I certainly feel as though some of the various lives of mine are quite distinct from each other, and quite distinct from who I am now, I suppose…..

I do not intend this blog to be a dry academic place, where I hold forth on relevant research, literacy statistics, teaching methodologies or lifelong learning (except inasmuch as I can’t help myself from being a lifelong learner) . Nor do I intend it to be a communal sort of place, where similarly-occupied people share our thoughts on these aspects of the job…although, if that happens, that’s just fine. It’s just not my current purpose.

My purpose is to have a place – this blog - where I can articulate my daily or weekly work achievements, satisfactions, disappointments and frustrations.
