This post has been a long time. I have been feeling guilty for abandoning this blog for the last few months, and I am here to confess that I have been busy recharging my batteries and enjoying my summer.
I feel that I lost direction and purpose for the blog sometime around March when I left the classroom. I headed down a decisive political path and spent too much energy on topics that may have been better covered on my personal blog.
I just wanted to reconnect with any readers I may still have out there, and say that I am getting ready to come back soon full force and begin exploring my new position as the K-6 ESL teacher at a British school on Doha. My new job should be challenging and hopefully a learning experience for me and my readers.
In other news, I have been reading a lot of great books…
on which I have a lot to say, and I also just got back from IB training in New Mexico. So please stay tuned! I hope to be back full force in August!
Kia ora Jabiz!
And welcome back!
I learnt about your most unfortunate position in March when reading and commenting on Derek Wenmoth’s post. Later I read about a wonderful appraisal of your site design in Christine Martell’s post on What Makes These Blog Headers Effective. I recognised your name and also your blog header when I read about it in Christine’s post. I’d just started my own blog two days before.
Your blog site was one of the first I put in my RSS when I set it up at around that time, which is how I picked up this post.
So, here’s a big welcome back to the blogosphere from one of your admirers and supporters!
I look forward to reading more from your fascinating blog.

Jabiz,
I know the feeling of needing to recharge. Congratulations on the new job. My middle school where I work is an IB school. I’m teaching 6th and 7th grade next year. Maybe we can do some projects together? Nice to see the Intrepid Teacher blog back in action!
