New Direction

Lately I have been giving a lot of thought to what I think TEFLWatch is all about. I have heeded the advice of others and teachers who are concerned with getting the best possible deal. I have decided that to be the most effective site that TEFLWatch can be, I must expand the focus on this site to fit more with the lifestyle of teachers all around the world, not just in one location and not just on schools. I need to have a holistic approach to the entire teaching profession and serve as a mentoring and information source for all teachers, not matter what their needs or desires are.

To this end, I will begin focusing many of our articles on things that can improve the lifestyle of teachers and improve our knowledge about our profession. I know some readers will not like the change, but I think it is a change that will build a much stronger site that can give teachers information.

  2. Nice idea Rico! however given the fact that you admit to being so jaded with teaching that you have left the profession, see “Making a Break From Teaching ” can you really claim to be the best suited person to be providing this information?

  4. I think that makes me suited. I have left the profession temporarily. We all go through the process of being burnt out and I have been through it. I have more than 10 years experience in the TEFL teaching industry. I have much to share, but I won’t be giving a pollyanna view.

Tell me what you're thinking...
