Reflections about Education

It’s almost mid-September! Have you chosen your area(s) for development yet?

10 de setembro de 2017

If so, how has it helped you to know your learners better? And furthermore, how has it benefitted your learners’ experience? Going back to the two perspectives explored on my last post (richmondshare.com.br/its-time-to-start-over/), here are some of the choices I have made so far: Leaving our comfort zone I have been working mainly with peer...Read More

What is the role of the new teacher?

22 de agosto de 2017

by Carlos Henrique Trindade

The new world we live in pushes us to unavoidable changes. The dynamism it brings to society forces us to rethink our concepts and how we position ourselves in light of the ever growing challenges we have to face. In this scenario, the school and, more specifically, the teacher is being redefined. But what should...Read More

“Close Encounters of the Third Kind” * – Part II

19 de agosto de 2017

by Edmilson Chagas

Below is a follow-up to one my post entitled Close Encounters of the Third Kind – Part I”, which went online precisely on March 3, 2016. In it, I attempted to describe how terrified I was by the prospect of having to teach a group of kids exiting childhood and stepping into the much dreaded adolescence, at...Read More

The impact of your teaching

14 de agosto de 2017

Technology will not replace teachers, but teachers who can integrate technology effectively in their pedagogical practices will replace teachers who can’t. The quote above has been repeated time and again (with different wording each time) in education conferences where the focus is technology in education – so much so that it’s hard to find the correct attribution...Read More

Teaching and Training with New Technologies – Part 1

11 de agosto de 2017

by Roseli Serra

I have always been fascinated by technology. And when I met Ana Maria Menezes[1], my mentor in this area, I realised that I would never teach or train teachers the same way. So my beliefs about teaching and training have changed completely. Having been a member of the LT SIG[2] in the IATEFL [3] and have...Read More

by Rubens Heredia

It’s clear to us by now that the role of the teacher has been changing dramatically. Gone are the days when the teacher was the source of all knowledge! In an age where students are bombarded with and have free access to information, the image of the teacher as a knowledge-transmitter seems outdated and out...Read More

Characteristics of Young Learners according to the area of development and the implication in teaching them

7 de agosto de 2017

by Beatriz Meneguetti

I have been working on teaching young learners a lot in these past months, mostly due to a new project we are implementing in our school, so I really thought about sharing some of the views I have been studying which definitely impact the teaching of these students. Cognitive development According to McKay (2006:6-14) children...Read More

Average students – part 1

26 de julho de 2017

by Taylor Veigga

Much is discussed about students with special needs and how to deal with them. Very little is said about teachers who have some kind of special need. I am going to tell you all a quick story. My story. During most my school life, I was not a bad student, but I was not good...Read More

What I learned from watching my kids learn

23 de julho de 2017

by cecilialemos

I often wonder to what extent me being an educator has influenced what I am like as a mother – and vice-versa. It is easier to see how being a teacher shaped the mother I am. For instance, I have never done my kids’ work or projects. I have guided their research (making sure they...Read More

What I have learned all these years

17 de julho de 2017

by Teresa Carvalho

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t been reflecting on my teaching practice. On the contrary, I’ve almost died from overthinking. This is what I’ve been doing lately: I’ve been thinking about missed opportunities, failures, achievements, goals and dreams. I’ve called on my memories to reflect on what...Read More
