Live from Juarez .. it's Saturday Morning!

Teachers of the world!!! (spice up your life!)
Every boy and every girl!! (spice up your life!)
Teachers of the world!!! (spice up your life!!!)
AAAAAWWWW!!! Shake it to the left (if you're having a good time!)


Okay, so don't shake it then...

I am writing this as the teacher group is taking the second mock exam in TKT. Module 2 has to do with lesson planning and material use/resource. The funny thing about it was that most teachers where making all these faces as if to say, "Psh! I already KNOW all this!!" and now that they are taking the mock exam, turns out that it's not as easy as they originally thought it would be.

Suckaaaas!!

TKT Module 3 also started and ended today. Module 3 has to do with teacher-student appropiacy in the classroom... and most of the stuff here is done by teachers in their every day practice. We just need to be reminded of what are we doing and what's the name of what we are doing.

TKT is in full bloom here in Juarez. I remember that a couple of years ago, this test was almost like talking about Alice in Wonderland and hoping to see the Mad Hatter not being Mad no more. But now, the TKT is reality and here I am, waiting for my 1st group to finish the test. This test is to certify English teachers; it's not the same to say "I know English" as to say, "I know how to TEACH English as a Second Language". We've found that out the hard way here in Mexico.

All of the teachers in this group are passionate about their teaching. They are taking this test not only for the curriculum value of it, but because they want to continue to improve their quality in teaching. Koodles for them! I hope that they continue in this path, and that they have the spirits to carry on with their students. Yes, even when I know that some of you out there read this and think "how corny!"




Good thing that we pandas do not need to certify ourselves as pandas. We're cute, smart, and adorable by nature...

..... and yes, we can be quite corny.....
