Pilgrims Teacher Trainer Journal, summer edition

The summer edition 2023 of the Pilgrims Teacher Trainer Journal is out! I’d like to thank Phil Dexter for inviting me to review one of the “How to” guides: How can interventions that focus on (a) teacher identity, (b) teacher motivation and (c) teacher resilience be incorporated into existing CPD programmes that focus on more transactional and pedagogical skills? by Mark Almond.

Mark Almond’s guide is part of a series of short evidence-based “How to” guides for individuals and institutions. The guide is hosted on the British Council’s Teaching English website and I encourage you to read it. It offers valuable insights, practical suggestions and material for reflection on how to sustain enjoyment, mental well-being, and physical health, primarily through the acknowledgment of the significance of rapport-building and fostering positive classroom environments.

I would welcome similar guides to be based on other contexts – the current guide is based on a survey carried out in in fifteen countries in the Middle East and North Africa –  and to delve deeper into some of the aspects of the survey.
