Here's some space for your reflection and feedback to our live sessions.

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-09-19 19:16:16 UTC

Let's reflect on our first live session.
How did today's session make you feel?
What did you find most interesting?
What did you find most challenging?

It was nice to feel so comfortable. I enjoyed our first session.

2022-09-26 16:30:26 UTC

The first live session vibe was great. It was nice to meet everyone. I'd like to share one of my favourite quotes:

illaine88 — 2022-09-26 17:08:42 UTC

I was very pleased today's session especially meeting with new colleagues, teachers,friends and our very positive facilitators and pleasant kind atmosphere during working in groups and doing tasks.

Nataliya Radetskaya

Session 1.

2022-09-26 18:34:32 UTC

I enjoyed our today's live session very much, all the participants were professional, active and outgoing. Our facilitators were expereienced and very positive. So, I believe this course will be genuinely meaningful and results-proven for me.

The first session was very nice, I felt myself rather comfortable and positive. It was great to get to know new people and to start doing something new for my professional development.

Hanna

Thank you

2022-09-27 22:43:28 UTC

I really enjoyed our first session. The atmosphere was friendly. All the participants were positive and sociable. Thanks to the facilitators! You are the best!

2022-09-28 16:21:52 UTC

I wish I would have attended the first session but I failed. I am looking forward the second one.

irishavoron03 — 2022-09-28 17:21:38 UTC

Thank you for your big job. It was great idea to join so many wonderful people here. Also, thank you for revising some very familiar but important teaching technics in such friendly way. Looking forward our next meeting.

Thank you, Nataliia and Serhii, for being so much active and welcoming. You made the first live session interesting and involved us to take part. As for me it was a new experience to work in groups during the live session. I'm going to try such a kind of the activity with my students.

nataliiakyryienkood — 2022-09-29 11:34:21 UTC

I enjoyed a friendly atmosphere. I've always loved trying new things, especially
new courses. Thank you!

Two stars and a wish

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-09-29 13:47:44 UTC

Let's share our feelings and impression about the session.
Two stars stand for two things you liked about the session and/or those you suppose went well.
One wish is that something you think needs improvement/clarification/could be done differently.

It was awesome. I am looking forward to new experience.

irishavoron03 — 2022-09-29 17:22:17 UTC

Dear Natilia and Serhii,
Thank you for your patience and your devotion.
I really liked the atmosphere you create on our meetings.
It was also useful to have a look at totay's problem from the learner's side. Actually, I see, there is much work to be done in this area.
I hope you will keep on creating such friendly atmosphere.
Hope to see you soon.

79mortevna79 — 2022-09-29 18:04:52 UTC

I enjoyed today's session so much, it was interesting to discuss different reflective models in groups. As for me I'm always curious about the opinion of my collegues. It was interesting and new for me to work on Jamboard. We could discuss the topic and each of us typed her questions. To my mind such way of discussion is more productive than just to discuss orally. I wish we could get more time for creating those questions. Thank you so much for the interesting meeting.
Have a lovely weekend!

Radeva Kristina🌸

2022-09-30 05:53:57 UTC

I was absent at our first session
but i like the second one.
It was very interesting and atmospheric🌸

Thank you. I liked the live session. It was clear, useful and warm.

illaine88 — 2022-09-30 09:15:39 UTC

Thanks everybody for creative collaboration! It was very interesting and useful!

Skliarenko Iryna

2022-10-01 12:55:27 UTC

Thanks for the second session. It was a real brainstorm for me . The notion is very easy but it hides so many problems and issues.

Thank you all. This session makes me to learn more information about reflective practice.

2022-10-01 15:02:55 UTC

2022-10-01 18:54:59 UTC

Session 1 was great. Teambuilding process was successful. It’s so nice of you to share your ideas and experience.

Olena

2022-10-01 19:20:34 UTC

Session 2 was productive and informative. Undoubtedly, reflection is a series of interrelated steps which aim to improve efficiency of teaching and to promote a positive learning environment. Grateful to facilitators and participants.

ishkrebov — 2022-10-02 05:03:30 UTC

I enjoyed the session. It was very useful.Natalya, Serhiy, thanks a lot

It was not easy for me but l tried to do all my best. With the help of you l improve my skills

ishkrebov — 2022-10-02 06:23:57 UTC

Rose, thorn, bud

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-02 15:22:42 UTC

Reflect on the session
Rose: a highlight, a success or something positive
Thorn: a challenge, a difficulty or something you would like to change about the session
Bud: new ideas, something you're looking forward to knowing or understanding more.

Khorobrykh — 2022-10-02 17:48:15 UTC

Everything was nice. There were more than just two stars)). I only wish I could have more energy for our evening live sessions

Людмила Кузьміна-Гольц

2022-10-02 19:07:09 UTC

This session reminded me the importance of reflection in teaching. I liked the deep analyse of reflective models, cooperative types of tasks and the atmosphere. Two things I'd like to be improved are setting a shorter time limit for work in groups and guidance of facilitators in breakout rooms.

Rock, leaf, stick

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-03 18:52:49 UTC

Let's reflect on session 4.
Rock is something you rocked at, you are proud of.
Leaf is something you want to leave behind.
Stick is something you want to stick to/keep doing.

Thank you for your support and sharing new ideas during the live session

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-03 18:56:09 UTC

Rose: fantastic atmosphere, creative partners, lots of ideas
Thorn: sometimes ask myself if I really do what I have to. (Maybe the things are easier than I expect and there's no need to look for the black cat in the dark :) )
Bud: I'm still looking for new sources, ideas, tasks.

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-03 20:55:30 UTC

Dear facilitators and collegues,
thank you for this interesting live session.
It was useful for me to find out more about making the portfolio of the class. So it was a rose.
The torn was the understanding it wasn't easy to make the modern teenagers motivated that's why I'll look for the new ways to do that, isn't it a bud? In my opinion it is.

Our session had everything: a rose of positive discussion, thorns of challenges and buds of new ideas :)

helenpanchina1972 — 2022-10-04 04:11:23 UTC

Skliarenko Iryna

2022-10-04 12:19:20 UTC

I've got a lot of new ideas how to make my lessons more interesting for all students. Thanks!

Svetlana Ruzina

2022-10-04 17:46:04 UTC

A teacher with the right skills inspires and as well as influences the entire student's lives. Thanks for new ideas.

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-04 20:06:04 UTC

Dear Nataliia and Serhii,
first of all I'd love to thank you for being patient because today I had a feeling I was like one of those annoying learners who always have what to ask about. During this session it was interesting for me to think about teaching implications and to compare learning outcomes. My today's leaves were the issues with the power and the internet connection as well so I do want to leave them behind )))

Світлана Сільніцька Thanks for the atmosphere . Although we are so tired after the working day, you involved us in communication and collaboration. And it's great.

2022-10-04 20:47:12 UTC

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-05 16:15:21 UTC

Dear Serhii and Nataliia, Thank you again for wonderful time, useful tips and making us think about some important issues.
My rocks today are my students, first of all. As they reflect my work and my forces.
My leaves are maybe some pitfalls that sometimes occure on my teaching path.
However, I do not really want to forget about them but rethink, improve and redo. So they are leaves on the stick.

Світлана Сільніцька I can't help but admire the atmosphere of our live session.Rose: more deeply understanding of group profiles. Thorns : teaching implications. Bud: New ideas.

2022-10-05 21:36:31 UTC

Rose: communication. Thorn: teaching implication. Bud: making class portfolio

illaine88 — 2022-10-06 18:30:54 UTC

Rocks: my students' success.

illaine88 — 2022-10-06 18:44:37 UTC

What? So what? Now what?

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-07 14:18:34 UTC

What have you learned?
So what, what is the significance of the learning?
Now what are you going to do or change going forward?

Dear our facilitators and collegues,

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-08 17:15:27 UTC

Thank you so much for your wonderful session which helps me to understand the importance of reflection and its models especially of teaching students.
I like our group work in breakouts rooms and do tasks.

Dear Nataliia and Serhii,

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-08 17:55:42 UTC

Thank you very much for your patience,understanding and creativity!
Rose is a a beautiful flower such as a teacher's success in teaching ,wonderful atmosphere and creative ideas as a class portfolio at our sessions.
Of course,thorn is a challenge to motivate our students and for these teachers always find new ideas,methods such a lot of buds.

Dear our facilitators,

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-08 19:40:55 UTC

I want to thank you for your attention to each of us,wonderful live sessions and a lot of useful and interesting information for our teaching and developing .
My rocks are my students which influence at my teaching progress,help me to develop my skills to motivate them.Of course there are always many stones which meets at our teaching way but we analaze them for continueing to improve my teacher's skiils.

Світлана Сільніцька Again thank you for atmosphere at our life session. As for reflecrion. I believe that rocks for every teacher are their students. Leave are our lessons when we failed to get our aims. And stick is strong wish to go ahead,improve,create .

Skliarenko Iryna

2022-10-09 14:13:18 UTC

Thanks you. With you I can see not just how everything in written but in practice

Thank you again. I understand how important when teacher realizes what he should do and when. How to make learning process interesting and successful.

2022-10-09 14:15:48 UTC

Challenge and advice

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-09 15:43:38 UTC

Looking back at today's session, think of the most challenging moment for you personally during the session.
What was that challenge about?
Give some advice to the facilitators to help you with that challenge.

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-09 18:07:44 UTC

Thank you again for such great experience.
I really understand that planning is as important as all the other teaching aspects.
I think I would refresh my attitude to planning my course to improve future result.

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-09 20:46:33 UTC

Thank you for the support and a lot of interesting information. All activities were interesting for me. I enjoyed the discussion of the metaphor picture of a "Cloud Dreamer". It was useful to discuss the lesson planning. That made me realize again how much important contextualising learning is for those teachers who are creative and open for something new.

I realised how important planning is and I'm going to pay much more attention to it.

illaine88 — 2022-10-14 18:54:02 UTC

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-15 20:14:30 UTC

Thank you for powerful guidance during the course. There were a lot of new ideas to think about for me after the last session (actually there were a lot of them after all the sessions). I'd really like to try the ideas of flipped classroom. And I'm thinking about it now. I've already decided where to try them :)). You promised some interesting works to read on the topic. If it's possible, please :))

Planning is the beginning of our work. We can't achieve any results without understanding what do we want to have at the outcome. So, we must have clear aims and definite objectives!

helenpanchina1972 — 2022-10-16 16:57:56 UTC

Thank you for the interesting session! There were some points to think about in my future work. For example, to try making a flipping classroom. It's an interesting challenge for me.

helenpanchina1972 — 2022-10-16 17:07:03 UTC

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-16 17:18:25 UTC

Thank you such an interesting session with a lot of useful information about flipped classroom. I can't say that approach was something new for me but I found out a lot of interesting details about it. I mean the key elements of the flipped classroom so when I use this approach next time I'll pay much more attention to each of them.

Thank you for such interesting sessions. I've got a lot of ideas to think about and to use in my classroom.

illaine88 — 2022-10-16 18:06:07 UTC

Skliarenko Iryna

2022-10-16 19:31:21 UTC

Thank you ;) I have learnt something new. I like to work with you our super Tutors and I like our group.

ABC-O

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-17 11:29:42 UTC

Reflect on the AfL and AoL session
A is for ACTION: What action will you take?
B is for BENEFIT: What benefit will you receive when you have taken that action?
C is for CHALLENGE: What challenge may you face while implementing that action?
O is for OVERCOME: How will you overcome that challenge?

OMI/OMG

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-17 18:36:17 UTC

Reflect on the session.
Think about:
OMI: One Meaningful Idea to implement in your teaching.
OMG: One Meaningful Goal to pursue.

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-18 13:34:28 UTC

Thanks for new discoveries. Moving ahead, I realize how much there is to learn and try.
Assessment isn't my strong skill :)). So the first action to take for me is to think about the strategies (and steps) of how to apply it in a new way. (I mean that of course I've used it but now I'm more aware of it)
My B will be productive and positive students' reflection.
Challenge? Our teaching's challenging but I'll never change my job. So I hope to overcome some tension that can appear with some new changes.

Thank you for your interesting session with a lot of great ideas for using at our lessons.I always planning all lessona and again understanding how important to plan step by step which helps to achieve goals and give us more confidience at the lesson.The lesson without a plan such as a flower without a sun.

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-18 21:35:35 UTC

Thank you for very useful session which gives us some new ideas which I can try to use at my future lesson.I want to try using Flipping class with my pupils but I should continue to learn this method,analise and think each step.

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-18 21:45:51 UTC

A - creating list of questions based on Bloom's taxonomy. B - getting better feedback, students improve their skills. C - still not sure about questions on creative level. O - reading articles to make this thing clear for me, practice more.

illaine88 — 2022-10-19 07:28:08 UTC

OMI - use different types of feedback evidence. OMG - improve my teaching skills, using information I've learned during our courses.

illaine88 — 2022-10-19 09:24:30 UTC

Skliarenko

2022-10-19 11:01:51 UTC

It was the most difficult for my understanding . Maybe was too tired. But thanks that gave us a lot of ideas

Skliarenko

2022-10-19 11:03:59 UTC

Thank you for this session. Communicating with my colleagues I find out so much new for me. Their experience is treasure for me!

Playing Card Reflection

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-19 15:37:47 UTC

Heart: Reflect on something felt by heart.
Spade: Share something that was dug up/cultivated.
Diamond: Identify something precious/valuable.
Club: Consider something that will grow in future.

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-19 20:47:24 UTC

Thank you so much for a lot of new information. It was important and necessary for me to dive into this topic. Assessement is always important for the teachers and learners as well. During the live session I realized what I had to pay much more attention to.

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-19 20:51:50 UTC

You know I guess the topic of coursebooks was important for all collegues who were on a live session so it made nobody indifferent. We all were involved and did our best to explain what may the perfect coursebook be though we know nothing is perfect. But it was so much interesting to work in groups dicussing the coursebooks. Thank you for such an opportunity. I really enjoyed that.

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-19 21:01:58 UTC

Our today's blueprint was connected to contextualising learning and teaching so the live session was useful for me. It was some new experience for me. You know at first it wasn't easy to find measurable words instead of using such words as " to understand". It was a bit challenging but we did our best so could get over that.

Thanks for interesting session

ishkrebov — 2022-10-20 04:07:02 UTC

Thank you for interesting session. No doubt,I would try to use flipped task with my students

ishkrebov — 2022-10-20 04:10:48 UTC

Thank you for such useful information. Some is rather new for me. The notes of the session will help me in my work.

ishkrebov — 2022-10-20 04:16:26 UTC

Thank you for such an interesting session. It is always a problem what book should be chosen.

ishkrebov — 2022-10-20 04:20:03 UTC

Thanks a lot! It was great! It was useful coloboration. Doing work together with Ilona was fun. And one more. Yesterday I realized that I would miss our group, Natalia,Sergey.

ishkrebov — 2022-10-20 04:27:18 UTC

Newspaper headline

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-20 19:44:47 UTC

Reflect on today's session and create a headline for the newspaper or magazine article about the session:)

Thant you so much for your very interesting session with a lot of useful information for each of us.My A for me is to continue to learn more deeply about using Assesstment for Learning for improve and motivate our students.And B is for me would be to achieve my new teaching goals,methods with effective feedback to help my students go ahead to learn and develop their future learning live skills.My C for me try to learn more how to make right questions at each my teaching step by Bloom's taxonomy.And my D is go ahead and create these right questions to help to learn students' skills for their future lives.

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-20 20:30:25 UTC

Thanks you very much to your hard work to find such a lot of kinds of our group activities and information for our future lessons.I understand how important choose the right coursebook which suits by all standards according state programme,discuss and compare several ones .

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-20 20:52:57 UTC

Thank you for patient and explaining blueprint teaching.It was some difficult for me because we didn't do it at our school but thanks for my colleague Irina I try to understand how create your programme planning according Standard.

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-20 21:08:13 UTC

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-21 11:32:16 UTC

Well, the session appeared to be really challinging but that is what made it especially precious. We always memorise the things we struggled better. I discovered new ideas, for example, the difference in understanding different curricular parts. The gerateds thing for me were the verbs decribing different curricula sections. That was really helpful for better anderstanding not only what we need to write but what would be put in the future lesson. And thank My wonderfull colleagues, especially Natasha, my partner, I really enjoyed the session.

Great job is done! Now we are ready to make our own blueprints for each grade. Thanks everybody for collaborative work, your ideas, advices and explanations!

helenpanchina1972 — 2022-10-21 18:00:42 UTC

It was rather interesting and cognitively to work on the contextualizing learning blueprint. As for me, I have new understanding of my planning, a new approach to understanding the lesson management and a new example of my plan for my school principal. :)

helenpanchina1972 — 2022-10-21 18:26:08 UTC

There is no rose without thorns and buds. Natalia and Serhiy, you do a great job. Thank you and a million roses!

verunchik30061969 — 2022-10-21 19:45:29 UTC

79mortevna79 — 2022-10-21 19:52:36 UTC

Thank you Nataliia and Serhii for such a great session. Creating blueprints is important for any teacher and I am not an exception. I was happy to work in the same group with Svitlana Silnitska because we could discuss different important things according to the creating the blueprint and Svitlana could support my idea or correct it so that collaboration was really nice. Thank you, Svitlana, for such an experience.

Still struggle with your plans? Then we're about to help

irishavoron03 — 2022-10-22 09:00:40 UTC

Thank you for providing such a great and successfol atmosphere for reviewing and evaluating our work. Great job done!

ishkrebov — 2022-10-22 13:19:06 UTC

After finishing the course...

nataliiaponomarova72 — 2022-10-23 16:59:42 UTC

Finish the following three sentences, please:)
After finishing the course,
I'll keep (doing something).....
I'll start (doing something).....
I'll stop (doing something).....

Thank you for help, understanding, and clear explanation. You are great facilitators!

illaine88 — 2022-10-23 19:08:39 UTC

Heart: collaboration with Elena; spade: using verbs of Bloom's taxonomy; diamond: teaching blueprint; club: my skills in making a teaching blueprint.

illaine88 — 2022-10-23 19:25:19 UTC

LEARNING IS A TREASURE THAT WILL FOLLOW ITS OWNER EVEREWHERE! At this session thanks for your clear explaination and my collegue I understand more better how it's right to create our teacher's blueprint in what order,what are the main verbs and its parts we need to use.Our collaborative work with our collegues gives us new ideas,discuss the suggestions and correct something .Great job is done!

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-23 21:08:56 UTC

devyatykhvalentina — 2022-10-23 22:17:14 UTC

Without a lesson plan, students can quickly lose focus and teachers may be left scrambling, thinking of what to do next. Thank you for useful information. I will definately use it.

devyatykhvalentina — 2022-10-23 22:26:18 UTC

Thank you very much for a wonderful session. I am interested in Flipped classroom. Thank you for sharing the document "Flipped classroom in practice". I will definitely read it.

devyatykhvalentina — 2022-10-23 22:41:05 UTC

It was a little bit challenging for me. I have lots of new ideas in my head. There are so many things to learn

I'll keep trying and fighting
I'll start looking for new horizons
I'll stop hesitating

I'll keep improving my teaching skills. I'll start working on flipped classroom. I'll stop hurring and will find some more time for self-reflection.

illaine88 — 2022-10-24 21:10:17 UTC

After finishing this very useful course I'll keep to continue learning more about different teaching methods and improve my skills.I'll start to learn more about Flipped classroom,visit new webinars,live sessions of British Council to teach deeply how right to use Flipped Class,Assestment for Learning and its strategies,Self-assestment,Effective Feedback and its 7 elements,Blueprint because all these things are very important to know for our effective lessons every day and motivate our students to get our goals.I don't stop to learn if I want to improve my teaching skills and I agree with your last statement: ''EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING'' in your future career.

nataliyaradetskaya — 2022-10-25 17:20:50 UTC

Thank you Nataliia and Sergiy for your all interesting sessions with a lot of different and creative ideas,activites and methods,for your hard work and preparing all these tasks for us,for our collaborative work and wonderful and pleasant atmosphere at all sessions.

It was very useful for me to understand how to make a teaching blueprint.

verunchik30061969 — 2022-10-26 04:58:40 UTC

Every end is a new beginning.

verunchik30061969 — 2022-10-26 05:19:48 UTC

After finishing the course I'll keep improving my teaching skills. And thanks to every participant, I know how to do it.
I start reflecting as much as possible.
I stop complaining, instead of finding a way out.

Thank you very much!

look at what I do in the classroom,
think about why I do it,
and think about if it works.
