#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?

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. 🌿

#ThrowbackThursday: Developod ep 62
Laura suggests teachers embrace the “mess” of non-linear "squiggly" career paths, if that path is right for you, because there isn’t one perfect way to develop.
Is your #CPD journey “squiggly” or “messy”?

Why not guide your development by what puzzles you - not by what you need to fix?

What puzzles you? And where can it lead your development?
