I want to share the courses I think could be really useful, especially now, when after the first few weeks of teaching you may encounter some interesting teaching challenges.

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.

Why study planning? To plan your studies!
I am a maniac of planners and planning. I have planners that help me organise other planners, and I keep planning even my time off, which really makes sense in my scheme of things! So when I see a study planner, I simply have to check it.

Netflix - your own EFL teacher at home
With the weather getting nicer with every day, it's more and more difficult to stay in. I generally love staying home, but even for me there's a limit to delicious tea, good books and cosy blankets. I feel like I need something extra to keep me at home, and fortunately there's Netflix!

Perfect Tips for Teacher Development (book review)
You may already know I'm a fan of CPD. The more I teach, the more I realise I have to learn. The more experienced trainer I am, the more people I meet who show me how to improve and develop. When I saw Jack C. Richards' 50 Tips for Teacher Development, I loved it from the very first moment.

Time management (not only) for teachers (book review)
It took me half a year to finish one book - seriously, and it's not because I'm a slow reader, quite contrary. It's a book addressing one of my greatest problems (apart from procrastination and struggling with taking over the world) which is time management, something a work-from-home person may have issues with - I sure did.

7 Free Online Courses in November
I love November - it's my favourite month of the year! Whenever I can, I take a week off just to chill a bit and enjoy the bliss of a minibreak. I have grand plans to complete one of those promising online courses I found. As usual, I share them with you - maybe you'll find the course I should take this month?

More stories: StoryBits
It looks like November is more of a storytelling month than I thought - last week I shared the storytelling coursebook (remember about the contest, you can win a copy of the book!), and today I'll show you the magic of pictures: Storybits.

Stories (not only) for Halloween - book review
I'm not a fan of Halloween - I believe there's no point in scaring evil spirits away if they manage to roam free on earth just once a year. Yet the long and mysterious October evenings prompt us to spin dark tales accompanied by the sound of rain and wind against windows. These are probably the reasons I was told I'll like Angielski: Historie by Preston Publishing.
