This is the first in a continuing series over the next month. I&#8217;ll be exploring the advice I&#8217;d give when asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s the number 1 &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..?&#8221;.

There is a discussion within the online teaching community world wide because of THIS recent N.Y. Times article about teachers selling their lesson plans/materials and making $$$. May the Best Teacher Win is a great response and correctly suggests we are asking the wrong questions. If interested further &#8211; read all the varying viewpoints on [...]]]></description>

I think backpacking English teachers get a bad rap. Truly they do. And especially from the more &#8220;senior&#8221; and &#8220;accomplished/established&#8221; members of our profession &#8211; ELT (English Language Teaching). Why so?

I&#8217;m going to keep away from that topic &#8211; it&#8217;s still too raw, so to speak. However, I did take lots of notes and some things kept repeating themselves. Mostly small things that teachers [...]]]></description>
