From teacher Porsche Linwood: New Dorp NRS 1 students writing about a vacation in the past tense.
Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.
Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org

 In this webinar, we focus on developing your professional practice as an English language teacher. We will explore how you can continue to develop as a teacher, from novice, just starting out in the classroom, to more experienced. We will look at three different ways of developing – by yourself, with your peers and finally further training courses |
