Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the face to face meeting yesterday, but i'm really happy to see so many familiar and friendly faces :)
I Just recently CELEBRATED my 45th birthday, am happily married to Yonatan, proud mother to Edan (12), Danielle (10) and Lian (4), this is my 3rd career change (after having been an Interior Designer and a Pastry Chef), no teaching experience other than Practice Week, targeted at being a HELL OF A TEACHER and giving the youngest of kids a positive English experience to take with them, and generally enjoying life!]]> 2017-03-08 11:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158618522 Hadar Komem https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158720314 Hello!

My name is Hadar Komem, I'm 23 years old, and it is my third year as a B.Ed student. However, do not let my age fool you! I have been teaching spoken English courses at Herzliya and Kfar Saba "High-Q" branches. Also, I'm a private English teacher. One might assume that I'm a native English speaker, but in fact, I'm not. I was born in Haifa, Israel, and moved to Kafr Saba for my studies.

P.S: This picture took place at my recent Milluim, my unit rescues civilians in danger zones and destruction sites.  

Happy to meet you,
Hadar]]> 2017-03-08 16:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158720314 Myriam https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158742714 Hi everybody!

My name is Myriam. I come from France 16 years ago. I'm doing a reconversion to be an English teacher. It is a big step for me so I hope I'll be fine with this big change. Here is a photo of my lovely family. Please meet my husband and my 3 boys:):):) This is a pic taken from last Purim. Hag sameah!]]> 2017-03-08 17:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158742714 Hi Everybody, deenalc https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158922571 I'm Deena. Originally from the Bronx, New York. I made aliya over 30 plus years ago! I have 3 children, a significant other and live in Hod Hasharon. This is my second career change and I love it. At the moment I am teaching English privately and must admit that I am a bit apprehensive in teaching in the Israeli school system. I hope that the teaching tools that I am collecting along my journey in Beit Berl will help me be the best teacher I can be.
Good luck to you all!!]]> 2017-03-09 11:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/158922571 Hello Everyone, https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/159420568 My name is Dana, I'm an "ordinary" Israeli - I was born and raised in Israel.

Good luck!]]> 2017-03-13 09:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/159597750 Hi, https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/159651788 My name is Anita and  I was born in Israel, but grew up in Norway from the age of three. After high school I moved back to Israel. I had a 'brief' stay of 12 years in London , and returned to Israel 7 years ago, with a husband and three children.
I qualified as a teacher in England 16 years ago, and have taught ever since. This is my first year at Bet Berl, where I am re-qualifying as misrad hachinuch doesn't accept  my teacher's degree from the UK.
Secretly, I'm quite enjoying being 'on the other side of the desk' again ... ]]> 2017-03-13 13:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/159651788 Hello all! https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/159667356 My name is Abigail and I am 26 years old. I am a teacher in an elementary school in Hod-Hasharon, where I was born and raised :) I went to high school in The Netherlands (Holland) and lived there for around 6 year, My family still lives there but I am back in Israel for the last 5 years! :) 
I am looking forwards to learning how to teach in heterogeneous classes as I think it is important for every teacher to have the right tools in order to be a good teacher.

I am taking both this course and the young learners course. I am teaching my first year at Golda Meir JHS in Petach Tikva and in need of a lot of guidance as to heterogeneous classes and young learners because I teach grade 7 and it is quite difficult especially as a new teacher. Looking forward to our classes corinaerez https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/160926852 2017-03-18 12:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/160926852 Hello everyone, my name is Liora and I am 45 years old, married and a mother to 3 beautiful girls, Ophir, Amit and Inbar. We live in Ra'anana and love the city a lot; mainly since it is a heterogenic city- both religious and secular people live peacefully in Ra'anana with acceptance and tolerance. I was raised in an environment of respect to our next door neighbors who were religious people and I try to do the same with my children today. I worked in a mobile company for the past 18 years and my latest position was the PA to the Assistant Director General. I enjoyed the time there, but I it was time for a change and I followed my heart towered education with the support of my husband. I love to exercise at the gym, go to the sea, cook with my girls, travel and listen to music. I am taking a few courses in EFL acquisition for struggling learners, and I think that I would want to focus on this subject. I wish I had more hours in the day since I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do… https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/160936396 2017-03-18 15:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/160936396 Hello All, ornsha https://padlet.com/elanamilstein/nic5mpxfgzpg/wish/160942525 My name is Ornit.
