Episode 139: My Lesson Fell Off a Cliff (But That's Okay!)

Has ANY lesson EVER gone to plan?I bet the answer is squarely more on the 'no' side of things than yes.What does that tell us?- embrace it- take advantage of learner questions and turn them into teachable moments- don't stress about not covering the syllabus all the timeJoin me as I tell you about my lesson, where I did practically NOTHING that was in my lesson plan. Was it my best lesson? No. Do I care? Also no. Why should I? My students still learnt a ton of valuable stuff: it just wasn't the stuff on my lesson plan.Get your Mindful Grammar Freebie here: www.subscribepage.io/4tlanYContact me if you would like me to help you or your school become better teachers: www.refreshyourteaching.comJoin my Breathe Easy, Teacher Newsletter community for teacher love and support: http://subscribepage.io/0a49drFill in my super-short survey (if you thought about signing up to Methods and Mindset butdidn’t) here: https://forms.gle/dSaYB9Xjb629F8RdAConnect with me:⁠www.instagram.com/everythingeflteacher⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-o-byrne-90b58a55/⁠Youtube @Everything EFL for teaching tip videos and full podcast episodes with Closed Captions.Subscribe to Everything EFL on any platform.And don’t forget to tell your colleagues.  Share the love.

I’m passionate about serving teachers. There’s no one size fits all lesson plan or solution to your class needs and issues. But, you’ve got a friend and support system in me. I can help reduce your overwhelm, give you some teachy inspo and improve your work-life balance. How? With solid takeaways you can try out immediately AND some much needed teacher love. Because your wellbeing is important too. You can find my contact details in the show notes if you'd like me to work with your institution and create a tailor-made CPD workshop for you.
