I enjoy teaching during summer as nobody takes those classes too seriously and you're free to include some unconventional materials. The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon is a 10-minute short film that will definitely inspire an interesting lesson!

If you ever feel like there's something you should do apart from relaxing, maybe a short online course or two... Well, here I am, ever-watchful! I've found seven nice and free courses that may be quite interesting for teachers... even those ready for their summer break!

I believe we all know this feeling of discouragement, with more and more administrative duties, students requiring more individual care and parents who are becoming more and more demanding. What I want to write about is a short list of things that may help you smile, lift up your chin and remember that we matter, teachers matter, that regardless of what people claim, we do change the world. And we should never, ever, stop believing that.
