**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** -------- Original Message -------- Subject: manual for new EFL teachers From: "Debora Bess Siegel" <deborass@xxxxxxxxxxxx> A colleague and I are working on a manual for novice EFL teachers entering the Israeli secondary school system. It is our final project for a Jerusalem Mentoring Hishtalmut (which by the way I recommend). It is a collection of useful tips that may make that first year of teaching less stressful. I was wondering if anyone out there wants to contribute any tips of their own. Then we can post the final product on ETNI. To give a few examples of the kind of tips we are looking for: Check all photocopies before handing them out in class. Make sure there are no pages missing and that nothing has been cut off. If possible, obtain two copies of all textbooks you use so that one copy can stay at home, and one copy at school. This will save your back! Make sure you register for your sabbatical saving fund before December 31st otherwise you will lose your first year of benefits. And so on.... Looking forward to your responses.
