This post is week 6 of 8 in the 8 Weeks of Summer Blog Challenge for educators.
Last year I wanted to change my teaching environment and teach more online. This is something I have achieved more or less and although I am freelance I have managed to find online students and I still pursue it.
This school year I think I want to change subjects.
Don't get me wrong, I love teaching languages and I a still going to do that.
What I want to do though, is go back to my spinning classes at the gym. I know that it is not a school subject, but a gym class, but for me it's lesson planning and teaching.
I used to love the gym and I lived to create spinning lessons. An maybe also take it a bit further and bring my yoga (and mindfulness - why not) in to my foreign language classes. Try some more movement and meditation wth my students. Combine lots of kinaesthetic activities with language (especially with my younger students).
It's stll all in my head. It depends what kind of students / classes I will have this year and how much time and opportunities I will have at the gym.
It's still July and the new school year starts in September, but one can dream big...
