Your students can't sit still? They despise reading from the bottom of their little black hearts?
There's one little thing that can become akin to a drop of luck potion - off-the-wall reading.
☝️Procedure: the students are given a task to complete a table. They go to different texts on the wall, note down the required information. The activity is timed, so as soon as the timer runs out, the students are supposed to go to the next little text or part of a text (jigsaw reading 2.0).
👍 Benefits
➕ students don't just sit and read (good for 5-8 grades mostly)
➕ they have a time limit, so they don't diddle-dawdle
➕ it helps them learn to scan the text for required information (a very useful skill!)
➕ they do not cheat off each other (no time!)
👎Disadvantages Disadvantage
❌ prep time (But frankly, it is a negative side to most additional activities. However, with the advance of AI, it's much easier to manage)
🆘
1⃣ some students might not want to stand up (and it's ok! - just let them read quietly)
2⃣ some might complain that they are not fast enough (pair them up for peer check to aleviate stress)

What makes a good day for you?
For me a good Sunday is a whole list of stuff.

💜 Have yesterday’s home-made sushi for breakfast
💙 Have a lesson with an amazing student
🤍 Be outrageously late to my singing class and sing so badly that the teacher claimed he felt like he was poking a couple of corpses with a stick
❤️ Eat
💚 Eat some more
🧡 On the way to the next location buy a cap in a random pedestrian underpass
💛 Have your lashes extensions done and have a nice nap at the same time
🤍 Get a scooter to go meet a friend and take a picture of almost everything nice (debatable and extremely subjective) that you see
💜 And smell everything that resembles flowers
💙 Get some food with a friend and go eat it in a lilac garden
💚 Go get the book you ordered quite a while ago
❤️ Stumble upon a sale in a leather goods shop
🧡 Get my husband a gift (and don’t forget about myself, of course)
🤍 Arrive home to a clean flat
Do any activities above seem fun to you? Do you do any of them?

Wednesday is my CPD day as my schedule is freest, so today I shall continue prattling about Critically Predictable Dolphins. Reading up on methodology or even developing your teaching skills in class is not a recipe for success (though a HUGE part of it).
There is no such recipe, as everybodywith half a brain knows. But we are trying, right? And that’s what matters.
CPD is different for everyone, but for me it also includes developing your own language skills.

I remember when I just started teaching, I was absolutely sure my language could not deteriorate. But it (surprise! surprise!) did! I was frankly appalled.
Then I decided to try my hand at managing people and lucked out. I got a job as an academic manager and one of my main responsibilities was to arrange classes for our native teachers. Two years in, and a methodologist, I took CAE and with almost no prep (I did practice writing, though) got an A. I was dumbfounded, but ecstatic.
Since then, I have been trying to keep my level up. For a while, with just books andfanfiction
This year I got to know a lot of amazing people through Natalia Egorova’s Elegant English Club (https://vk.com/natalia_egorova_eeclub). It’s astonishingly affordable given how good it is.
For the summer, I’ve already signed up for two book clubs: Atomic Habits and It by Stephen King (https://vk.com/mybookclubeng or https://t.iss.one/uptoenglish1)
The question on the agenda will probably forever be: When will I sleep? But there is no rest for the wicked.
How much time a month do you dedicate to CPD in whatever definition you are inclined to use?

What do you think, guys? Are you willing to listen to teaching ideas in this format, or should I stick to writing?
Sorry for any possible slips, this was like the tenth take and I was nauseatingly anxious 😅

Me, myself and I - Part 1
As now I have some people who don’t know me IRL (a real shocker! ), it’s time to write a post about myself.
But it’s tough… What should I start with? Certificates? Maybe… My motto in life? Well…
Probably, I should start off with my name. My name is Yulia and I am a…
It’s even more challenging, labelling oneself. When I was asked to do so in a psychological course, the question stumped me. We are kinda supposed to unravel our identity when we are young adults. But identity is as prone to change as weather at sea is liable to.
So, I guess it’s better to contemplate it for a while and decide for yourself. And at the moment, I am a woman, a wife and a mother, and a teacher. In that order.
Who are you? Why not ponder this question a little bit?

How to be on fire about teaching and not burn out? Here is a little podcast about my ways. It's in Russian though. I would really appreciate any feedback as it's my first itsy bitsy baby podcast. Be careful though, it's a tad bit loud in the beginning.
Осторожно с подкастом, берегите уши, он немного громкий в начале.

This Saturday I was sitting on a lawn in Victory Park and thinking contentedly that freedom awaited. Well, at least the evenings and the weekends shall be mine as my son had already been sent off to Krasnodar and was enjoying the southern sun. I have time to do everything that I have been putting off, yay!
I was sorely mistaken. I had forgotten that the deadline for my latest course – Educational Methodologist – was coming.
And now every fiber of my being belongs to Skillbox and my mad scrambling to finish everything on time.
Only yesterday did I realize that I have to make a whole course from scratch in two days.
Wish me luck…
Сидела я в воскресенье на лужайке в Парке Победы и, как мне кажется, с лицом кота, объевшегося сметаны, думала о том, что теперь, когда я отправила сына в Краснодар, (теперь-то!) мои вечера и выходные будут действительно моими.
Но я ужасно ошибалась, так как умудрилась забыть, что крайние сроки по моему последнему курсу – Методист образовательных программ – уже как бы на носу.
И теперь я уже не своя, я – принадлежу Skillbox и своим отчаянным попыткам все успеть.
А самое главное, только вчера до меня дошло, что мне надо написать программу целого курса за два дня.
Пожелайте мне удачи…

The upcoming weekend is going to be both horribly busy and terribly fun (at least I hope so).
💥 Friday – Saturday – a train to Saint Pete
💫 Saturday (almost all day) – Rozetka.
Розетка https://rozetka.team/spb2024 is a summer event for people who love education. Judging from the TG chat, I am bound to meet a LOT of amazing people ‘cause their professions range from soft-skill coaches to owners of various educational establishments. I am really excited, but kind of apprehensive. I have not the foggiest as to what we are gonna do there, actually. According to the programme, there is a lot to do, but it looks like pretty unknown words to me as I’ve never been to such an event.
🌟 Saturday evening – Rozetka after-party/ Pedagogical Stand-Up
I am thrilled to have been accepted as one of the people to perform, yay! Don’t expect any footage though as the people organizing it are trying to make the event a safe space for teachers. Recording in any way will be prohibited so that the “comics” will not have to censor themselves.🤬 🤬 🤬
At first, I was thinking I wouldn’t have much to say, but 15 minutes in I was like – Well, apparently I am going to have my very own concert🤩 😏
