Monday Motivation

Observation isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about gaining perspective.

When we allow others into our practice,
we start seeing things we couldn’t see on our own.

👉 What’s one thing you learned from being observed — or from observing someone else?

The magic of teaching lives right in between.

The best lessons?
Those that know where they’re going…
but still leave room for the unexpected ✨📚

Lesson Planning vs. Spontaneity:
📝 careful planning or
💡 spontaneous moments?

✨ Reflection or action? ✨

Reflection turns experience into insight.
Action turns insight into improvement.
Real growth happens when we balance both.

This week, pause to notice.
Then choose one small step forward.

Professional development isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s about finding what feeds your curiosity, your confidence, and your classroom.
Which format helps you learn best : live workshops or asynchronous resources?

Teaching is a continuous journey of lifelong learning.
Each class offers a new insight, a new challenge, a new opportunity to grow.
The more we teach, the more we learn.
👉 What has your teaching taught you recently?

The best observations feel like conversations, not evaluations. 💭
They’re moments to connect, not perform.

Observation days aren’t about perfection, they’re about reflection, growth, and shared learning. 🌱

What’s more nerve-wracking, being observed or observing someone else?

#Throwback: Have you heard Developod ep 64 yet?

In this clip, Ana talks about how we, members of the ELT teaching community, need to connect to: feel togetherness and support, share experiences, and know that we’re in this together, not isolated.

We’re great at offering feedback to our students, but how often do we pause to learn from the feedback we receive? 💭

Growth starts when we listen with curiosity.
Reflect. Adjust. Evolve.

👉 What’s the best feedback that’s helped you become a better teacher?

#TDSIGMondayMotivaton #MondayMotivation

How we give feedback matters just as much as how we receive it. 💭
Real growth happens in the space between the two, where listening meets intention, and reflection turns into action. 🌱

💭 Teacher Reflection Moment 💭
We encourage our learners to reflect every day — yet how often do we stop to do the same?
Reflection isn’t extra time… it’s growth time. 🌿

Heard Developod ep 63?
Justin says his #ELT foundation is a part of him & his work writing articles, essays, & books
He “harangues” the industry, Helen calls him Dr ‘Heckler’ Gerald, & JPB says ‘I told you so!’ to an industry that hasn’t changed
