Welcome to Teachers At Risk
An honour

I can’t believe it’s been three years since I started writing my Teachers At Risk blog. Where has the time gone?
Strangely, at least to me, I don’t seem to be as excited about this birthday as I was the last one. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because writing posts for Teachers At Risk has become part of my life now, one of the things I just do. I wonder how other bloggers feel about blogging when they’ve reached the three year mark?
I am, however, still very excited about the learning community that continues to build around Teachers At Risk. I’ve met some great people through my blog, and there have been some thought provoking discussions about what has been written. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. On the contrary, I welcome other points of view because they help clarify my own thinking, even change my thinking about something. After all, I hardly know it all even though I’ve been happily teaching for what seems like forever.
Being nominated for an Edublog Award in the Best Individual Blog for 2008 category was pretty exciting, too. I felt honoured when Mathew nominated me- he isn’t even a relative. 
Thanks again Mathew.
Another thing that I’m excited/surprised about is that Teachers At Risk has had over 100 000 hits this year alone. I don’t know how that compares to other blogs, and to be honest I’m not too concerned about it. I’m too surprised. I can still remember how excited I was when I first started my blog three years ago to learn that I had 80 hits. Imagine, I thought, 80 people have found their way to my blog. It seemed magical at the time. To be honest, it still does.
I’m very grateful for all the support I continue to get from family and friends, old and new. Thank you all so very, very much.
What will the next year bring? I invite you to share the journey with me and find out, sharing resources and insights about teaching and learning from one another for the benefit of our students. Because after all, it’s all about our students.
