Pleeaze! Tell Me That Wasn’T a Teacher! (ePub)

The author, Nick Crozby, was born before the outbreak of World War Two. As a child he always wanted to be a teacher and when old enough he trained as a Secondary teacher after successfully completing his Bachelor of Arts Degree and Educational Diploma courses. He then taught in several different schools before taking up a teaching appointment in a College of Education where in the course of his work he was involved with many schools, ran In-Service training courses and undertook research. Nick was always keen to encourage fieldwork skills and experiential learning.

He worked alongside colleagues to write numerous successful school text books and worked with The Schools Council, Her Majesties Inspectors, Local Education Authorities, Advisers and Radio and Television companies on a wide range of different educational activities. He had special interests in the areas of Fieldwork, Community Education, Disadvantage and Disaffection. As head of a Middle School he was able, in conjunction with outstanding colleagues, to put into practice many of his ideas.

In his spare time he was a keen sportsman involved in both playing and helping to run rugby, cricket and tennis teams as well as doing occasional disc-jockeying for relaxation!

After taking early retirement Nick worked for a short time as a sponsoring editor with a major publishing company enjoying a wide roving brief. He and his wife, Emm, then founded a highly successful Teacher Recruitment Company prompted by the difficulties Nick had experienced as a head teacher recruiting temporary supply staff. Soon a chance meeting took their work in a totally different, unexpected direction which resulted in Nick and his wife working with schools and teachers’ worldwide and especially in the Middle East opening up new horizons with many exciting experiences, opportunities and stories.

Now being fully retired Nick and his wife enjoy a quieter more relaxed lifestyle, gardening, motor-homing, writing and craftwork
