It's a Wonderful Life


With the happiest wishes of the holidays, take a moment to remember that this whole teaching thing allows us to have a wonderful life. I hope you and yours have a magical time these holidays- and appreciate that we are in a profession that allows us to spend the holidays with our loved ones.

Housekeeping


No, not the kind that I'm avoiding by posting on this blog!

As 2010 draws to a close there are at least a couple of things that we need to do so that we can actually work next year:
  1. Are you all paid up with the Queensland College of Teachers? If you aren't, well you won't be registered for 2011 and you simply can't teach. I found it easiest to do online... but you would have also received something in the post.
  2. Make sure you have let TRACER know your availability for 2011. You can either reply to the email that you may have received, or simply fill in their online change of details form, noting that the details you are completing are for 2011 in the comments section. They request that you contact them by January 18 to ensure that they have you on their books in time for the start of the new year.
So before you embark on your holidays for the year, get this housekeeping out of the way so you are  ready to work in 2011.
