Yesterday night I was online and I was watching the fabulous webinar presented by Shelly Terrell: I am a regular viewer of her Friday webinars and I would suggest watching them as they are uploaded on Youtube. She made a great presentation and provided a lot of ideas for the coming new year and our teaching activities.
We have reached the end of the old Year and in a few hours, we will be starting a new one.
As educators, we are required to work on our goals and on the goals of our learners. The presentation which she made was a good one: reminding us that the learners need to be supported and helped to develop their learning.
Here is the slide which she shared with us: plenty of tips which will help me in the new year.
Goal Setting with Learners from Shelly Sanchez Terrell
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family. (Kofi Annan)
When I think about the old year I must admit that I am proud of myself as I have strongly believed in what I was doing and in spite of the many difficulties I have tried to be a supportive teacher. I have faced difficulties due to the social conditions of many teenagers I have taught and who are not willing to learn, which is a pity.
I have now moved to a new school and I am working on my self-development and on the students' language skills. I have begun a new life and in spite of the low levels of some of my students I am trying to be a teacher who cares.
Working in today's schools is an adventure: every year we meet new students and we need to care as each student is different from the others. Sometimes it is hard and when you finish your day at school you need to relax as we teach in old schools- we do need new learning environments which can support us while working on projects and more interesting activities.
The Internet can help us but we need to rely on the students' smartphones sometimes, the connection can be very poor at school.
Thinking about a different Way of Working
Today we can rely on new technologies for enhancing learning and language teaching: therefore I will try to work on new approaches and work on the Flipped Classroom Model.
I will guide my students to work from home and watch some videos or read some documents and we will later discuss the issue in class.
Professional Development on Line in January
As a teacher of English I will also do some CPD activities online like EVO 2017 starting in January: http://evosessions.pbworks.com/w/page/113559169/Call_for_Participation_2017
Last year it was an engaging experience for me as I could rely on the support of the best tutors who worked online and for free.
I will enroll in the next days- I will work on the listening skills while teaching English and on new technologies. I am happy I did four courses last year as some are not available this year.
I wish every Italian teacher could do one of the courses in EVO (Electronic Village Online) as some of the best educators are sharing their ideas and providing support and feedback.
Happy New Year!!
