Today was another exhausting day of ESL training. It's much easier to teach all day and "entertain" a class full of kids than it is to sit in a 7 hour training.
We did one activity in which we were all standing in a circle...as I looked around, I noticed how many teachers were unable to stand still. They were rocking, playing with the cards in their hands, and looking around the lecture hall. We are the ones who expect our students to sit in their seat, not to play with the materials on their desks and to look at us while we are teaching. I found it quite ironic...but I'll admit I was one of them. I didn't hear a word the presenter said.
I'm anxious and skeptical about going back to school tomorrow. It's been a nice break, but I don't know how people sit in meetings all day...I need more interaction...and believe me, my kiddos provide PLENTY of interaction.
