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.
