Ready for some winter ho-ho-ho? If yes, let me be a not-so-secret Santa bringing you a batch of interesting free online courses. This time I've got something you can use for your New Year Resolution (gardening or healthy food), something to try with your students (stylistics or songwriting) or something that will make your winter break happier (baking and winemaking!).

The benefit of the doubt
Imagine your student approaches you and says I don’t have my homework, I’m sorry, but I forgot it at home – what do you do? Do you shake your head in disbelief? And what would happen if you gave your student the benefit of the doubt and simply chose to believe them?

Unzombify your students!
ovember is a vile month for teachers and students, and it's quite easy to catch a condition called zombification. How to check whether your students are suffering from zombification, which stage of the condition (short, long, permanent?) and how to cure this November plague?

7 Free Online Courses in November
November is probably the best month for self-development. If you need some inspirations, I found 7 free online courses that will definitely help you enjoy those CPD sessions.

I don't usually buy extra teaching tools, but once in a while my willpower proves to be particularly weak. Of course, it requires something extraordinary, but when I saw conversation cards created by Ewa Torebko, I simply knew I would love them. And, of course, I do - that's why I want to share some ideas on how to use them in your classroom.

Crisis management in the classroom
There are some difficulties we are prepared for: discipline issues, learning difficulties etc. But there are situations nobody can predict. As they say, hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and that’s why I want to share with you some simple rules you will probably find really helpful.

Preschoolers in the Mysterious Forest of Holistic Education
When I got the opportunity to write my very own course for preschoolers focused on the development of future skills, I couldn't say no! What have I come up with? Take a look at Smart Preschoolers and their adventures in the Mysterious Forest.

Puppets in the classroom
Do you use puppets in your classroom? If not, I have some ways you can use them not only with kids, but also teenagers and adults.
Plus, they can be really useful when you teach online!

Class contract: make it work
It took me some time to realise that there is something I can use to avoid the unavoidable frustration when all the NewYearNewMe vibe is gone. It’s a simple class contract, something we all know, but somehow it is pretty underappreciated.
