The main purpose of this page, though, is to help you really evaluate whether a school will be a good fit so you can get the right teaching position for YOU. Who Am I To Give Advice? I’ve changed schools a lot and have been on 14 job interviews during my teaching career: I was offered every position on the spot except two. An uninformed person might conclude that I’ve just got it like that, but the truth is, I was fortunate to have sought positions during extreme teacher shortages. My advice on this page comes from that perspective, so I’m really not the best person to advise you on landing a position that hundreds of other teachers are vying for.
What To Wear My personal opinion is that a prospective teacher should dress more formally for an interview than for the actual job itself. Tips for Landing a Job Interview 1. Creating Class E-Books. This post is inspired by a video presentation given by Ian Addison at last nights TeachMeet Bedford.
In the video he demonstrate an excellent e-book created by Colin Hill (@Colport) and his class. To create the e-book they used the website myebook.com. You can view their ebook here. Student work was scanned and uploaded to the website which then creates the on-screen version of the book. You can even embed audio. As Ian says in the video this means you can still produce great looking ebooks from what might initially be a non-ICT task – pupils could draw and handwrite stories which then form part of the book.
It’s a great way for collating and sharing pupil work with parents – create an end-of-term (or year) book to summarise the work done or create a special book for a class project.

The Vampire Killer « mrstottstories. The Vampire Killer – a short story by Mr Stott It was an exceptionally cold October night, Alex was completing his homework.
The wind battered the window and the trees, almost bare with the onset of Autumn, shook violently from side to side. Alex stood to draw his bedroom curtains to try and block out the distractions of the autumn evening. As he did, he noticed a figure move across the empty driveway of next door. The house next door, if you could call it that, was not only quite a way from Alex’s house but was very run down.
Nobody ever came to look at it, it was a horrible place. The figure seemed to walk smoothly, as if it were gliding, illuminated only by the old Victorian street lamp that was in the garden. Alex froze; part afraid, part curious. It was days later, fuelled by his visions nights before, that Alex saw his neighbours. Alex’s eyes darted from one to the other. “Hello” said a voice from behind him; he jumped a little but tried to stay cool.

Here’s an image worth posting on Facebook, putting on a t-shirt, or sticking on a bumper.
“Free as a Man,” created by Serbian artist Predrag Stakic, is the winner of an online competition conducted by the Human Rights Logo Initiative, which is on a mission to make the design an internationally recognized symbol for human rights. An initial call for entries went out in May and kicked-up 15,000 submissions from more than 190 countries. After a healthy period for public comment, a jury made up of 36 designers, human rights advocates, and concerned politicians from around the world chose 10 finalists. Because the aim of the initiative–which was supported by a host of supporters and partners, including Google, Typo London, and Cinema for Peace–was to create an image “by people for people,” the logo is an open source product, free for use without restrictions.
