A list of free CPD courses for teachers and educators.
I’ve been teaching abroad for over 10 years now (in Qatar and Dubai), and I can honestly say it’s been the best most empowering decision I’ve ever made. Sadly, not every expat teacher has the same experience, so here are five important factors to consider when you’re choosing a school abroad as an expat teacher…

I enjoy posting ideas for the classroom, teaching tips, desk space ideas, outfit ideas and try and help as many student teachers and teachers as I can. I really enjoy the community on Instagram as it has allowed me to connect with like-minded people from all over the world. @theteacherstudent
It can be daunting too as you begin to think about some items you may need for starting off, especially if you haven’t seen your classroom yet.
I’m such a morning person! I usually leave for school at 7:00am and arrive at school at 7:30am.
The children don’t begin school until 9am, so I spend the early part of the morning prepping for the day/ rest of the week.
This year has been a unique year and while it can be a time of joy, rest & relaxation, the holidays can bring a lot of demands such as financial, social and family commitments. While, you can’t choose when Christmas comes, you can choose to help yourself get through it.
It’s that time of year again!
Let’s be honest, the Late Late Toy Show is the official start of Christmas in Ireland!!
If you want to bring the festivities into your classroom, here are some resources we found (including a game for teachers!!).
Enjoy!
Primary school principal of St Brendan’s Ns, Blennerville, Tralee, Co. Kerry. I love my role as school Principal, in particular it’s variety and the daily interactions of all within the school community. I have an Instagram platform where I share my philosophy, it’s called @positiveprimaryprincipal.
It is so lovely to check in with you again! It has been such a crazy two months since I moved to Dubai to teach here. Every day I feel a little more settled!
