Welcome to my Blogfolio!

Dear Visitor, 

 Welcome to my BLOGFOLIO! Here I will update many things related to my professional field, teaching! Blogging seems to be the way forward, so I'm giving it a go and trying something new! I enjoy sharing expertise and have done so in person with colleagues either whom I work with or met at courses, but I've recently joined communities online and it's one of the best sources of professional development out there! The sky's the limit! I love researching interesting articles on the web and getting that feeling of inspiration when you find a good one. If you have a blog, please share your link with me! 

 As well as this, I am the creator of two other BLOGS:

 1StepEnglish - Description: taps into my Learning English ONLINE platform to support my specialism in English (ESL) Launched January 2013

 The Staff Room (Teachers Only) - Description: this is my way of creating a hub for teachers to get together and share great practice...it's also for fun! ;) NEW Launched March 2013

 Please follow these links and if they interest you, join us! 

 I am new to the blogging world, so your support is greatly appreciated! 

 Sharing is caring :)

 Take Care, 

 Miss Rix

I enjoy teaching, with great job and self satisfaction on a daily basis, so why am I feeling like a hippo that would rather float around in a pool of mud??? Raise your hand if you recognise these following bad habits: holding the need to pee because you're in the middle of a lesson, struggling through the pain of your over flowing bladder because as you were on the way to the toilet, you got side-tracked by a parent or your boss who just had to speak to you at that very moment; missing your snack breaks because you've got to get the homework marked and bac

IGNITE your own professional development! Great Tips...

A very dear professional friend of mine ( +carmen blyth   TheTeacherWhisperer   @teacherwhispers )  once gave me some excellent advice. After she had taught for many years across the globe, whilst casually swimming along and talking about how I could improve my professional development...she left me with two very profound and eye-opening tips: 1) You must take charge of your own professional development yourself. You are on your own and don't expect anybody to put it on your lap. Do it yourself!  2) Wear great clothes, do your hair, put on a pair of heels and flutter your eyelashes! It's true that this works wonders! Do you look like you're trying to impress anyone? There comes a time in everybody's career when you feel stuck. You've got so far and don't know where to turn next. I was so inspired by my friends words which were so simple . I knew I could at least manage point 2 very easily, but I pondered on point 1 for a few months. How can I take c
