What I’m Learning About Teaching

Reflections on English teaching, curriculum design and student voice from an international-school classroom — for colleagues who value questions, careful practice and the occasional productive uncertainty.

About Me and This Blog

I teach English in international schools and write here about literature, language, inquiry, assessment, MUN, ATLs, and the everyday puzzles of helping students learn well.
