Putting Myself Out There

Well, here we go... time to put together my curriculum vitae to promote myself to prospective schools.

This is the time of year (September/October) that many teaching positions are advertised for the start of next year. One good place to go if you're interested in keeping up to date with any new advertised positions for teaching in New Zealand schools is edgazette.govt.nz. You can set up an email alert that will keep you posted with positions advertised in the last 24hours.

Anyway, time to get back to producing my own CV.
  • Something that is professional yet creative and eye-catching
  • Not too big - principals don't have all day to read my life story!
  • Personal details
  • Curriculum related and personal strengths
  • Personal Teaching philosophy
  • Referees
  • Associate Teacher feedback quotes from my various practicum
  • Academic history
