Bonjour- Je m'appelle Madame Gayleen Mackereth / Buenos dias- me llamo Senora Gayleen Mackereth Let me introduce myself. My name is Gayleen Mackereth. I have been Head of Languages at a number of Auckland and Waikato secondary schools and I am a very experienced teacher of languages. In 2004 I was also an E-Fellow working with schools to teach languages online in order to analyse the best student outcomes. I was teaching in schools until I was knocked off my bike cycling to school and can no longer walk well. Since my accident, I have been teaching online to students from around the world, and now in New Zealand. I have led many student trips to Europe, Japan and New Caledonia and you may see a few photos of my students in the work I give you. We live on a small block with our 3 Wiltshire sheep and our dog Ollie (who is a "Pound Pup" - we rescued him). We also have a bigger farm up North running cattle. Despite my accident I still swim most mornings and I also ride with Riding for the Disabled. I am looking forward to getting to know you all. A bientôt / Hasta luego
