The Difficult First Post

I guess an introduction is the best way to begin a blog like this so first things first.

Geography and teaching are in my blood. This is mainly due to the fact that both my parents are teachers with my dad specialising in geography. Useful you may say, however it has given me a detailed preview of how intense the next 12 months will be. A year which I approach with great anticipation and excitement.

I graduated two years ago and as a result I had plenty of time to consider my future. No matter how many times I discussed ideas with family and friends the result was always the same. It seemed like fate was drawing me towards the PGCE. Now I'm here with just over three months left of freedom, which I'm going to enjoy whilst I can, though working full time and cramming as much overtime in as is humanly possible is restricting this to some extent.

I hope that this blog will identify areas of my geographical knowledge which need refreshing. It will also allow me to begin to get an idea of exactly what resources are available and identify useful websites and literature. Until next time.......

  1. Hi james,

    I graduated a year ago so like you have had a bit of time to consider my future also decided on teaching but unlike you it was hardly in my blood! Felt like a natural choice though. Lookforward to meeting you in September
