ABSTRACT

Vicki started her teaching career in the late 1960s. Her first post lasted for three years in a primary school for children 5-9-years-old. In her second post she taught for two years in a middle school for children 9-13. A full-time domestic life as wife and mother of two young children consumed her for the next seven years before she returned to teaching. Now she took up a full-time post at Springfield School where she had full class teaching responsibilities. She was also Coordinator of the Humanities Curriculum throughout the school. During her fifth year at Springfield she applied successfully for a place on the in-service Advanced Diploma course at the Cambridge Institute of Education.
