September 2009

I simply must inform you about last month's big happening. Sachi Jerika Lucas was born at 3.41 a.m. on the 17th September. She weighed 7 lb 1 oz or 3.22 kg. Everyone is fit and healthy and well. Slightly sleep-deprived, but.

February 2009

And just like that half a year has gone by since I last posted. Oh well, good intentions . . .

This month classes resume at Otago Polytechnic. After a year 'away' I have my own ESOL class once again. I look forward this year to resuming my student-centred, student self-directed focus. I've been struggling against the mainstreamflow to implement this approach for the last ten years. But now this paradigm is being pressed from on high (by the CEO no less) and so I dare to hope for a new dawn.

Is this the age of Aquarius?
