There are few things...

People usually give something like a mission statement or a vision, when they start something new… What should I say? I am looking for some easy and workable way how to create a web based portfolio of my work and learning experience. Some tool to increase my productivity, understanding and to help my personal and profesional development. Two years ago I moved to the UK and made quite a long journey from staff member in Fast Food restaurant back to may profession – Teaching. I am not there still but reaching my goal. The journey was quite long and painfull. Language which I could speak but I did not understand (accent). Way of life and lots of other things foreigner has to go through when coming to England.

Now I work at school again and I can ‘enjoy’ the enviroment… I like it here. But having different background and different experience there is plenty of things I have to learn and comprehend before I will be confident enough to apply for full teaching post. So this will be my way how to gain knowledge, undestanding, skills etc. How is it expressed in British National Curricullum?

There are few things which puzzle me (and probably anyone without experience of being a pupil in British school): How do you mark students? What are Attainment Targets? Where did you get them from and how you can say from few pieces of work from someone (very lazy and not doing any work in lesson) that he hit those targets? How do you create Assingments and Objectives? How do you manage those small buggers in the classroom (I still have lots of problems)?

So there are some of my qestions. Just find the answers… Of course I know some answers already. But they have produced more question and so it goes all the time. Well I just hope I will have time to write the Questions and My answers (how I understand the system).

Another things and interest will also get some space here. I become very interested in new productivity religion called ‘GetThingsDone’ and Personal development. As teacher of History and RS I hope to find time to read and think about the Past as well. I hope to turn this place into sort of professional gowth portfolio, so I just have a little hope I will keep up… I have already few blogs and articles in my future reading list.
