The Joy of Professional Development

Teaching is one of my favorite things in life.  Another favorite is talking with teachers about teaching.  Here in Sri Lanka, I have the privilege of traveling every month or so to different parts of the country to conduct workshops with English teachers.  This professional development program focuses on reflective teaching, interactive learning, and increasing student interest and motivation.  
The teachers and I have a good time sharing ideas about what works and doesn’t work in the classroom.  I’m still in touch with a fair number of teachers with whom I worked in Romania on a similar project.  I hope that my interactions with teachers here will have a long-lasting impact as well.
