The Mellow Place!

How about a little trip to soggy Sydney?

One day, margo, when I'm rather wealthier that I am at this very minute, I will visit, I promise.

And then you'll be so sorry you asked!

OK, Adelaide is on the agenda now, too!


(Gosh, I'm going to be busy!)




You're going to be very sorry you made that offer, Deb!

Yes, I did.

I have been rather too rushed off my feet today by other other demands (& I mean demands!) to respond.

Thanks kindly for your concern, Deb.

But I suspect it's just another boring tale of woe. <sigh>

You're NEVER boring.

... but I believe I'm on the right track with a solution (& an interesting, challenging possibility) for the future. But it's certainly been a rocky ol' road getting here!

(Crossing fingers!)

Er...any elucidation in the offing?

So...you're on a paper chase re formal qualifications in literacy, which you can already teach, but don't have the papers to prove it?


Is that the gist?


If so, how long and how expensive?????


Short and cheap, I hope....with lots of credit for your skills?

Pretty affordable, Deb & a shortish course. It's a new(ish) approach to literacy (here in Oz, anyway) that a growing number of schools are incorporating in their programs. Lots of in-servicing happening. But a real, formal qualification is absolutely necessary for me to get work as a teacher in this field. It's the gaining the necessary experience that's a more daunting prospect (for someone outside the education system, like me right now) I think I'll have to volunteer my services to a school using in the particular literacy program I want to become qualified in. (Say, one day per week & for some time) That's fine with me. It'd be worth it to get from A to B. I've made enquiries. It's do-able.
