One of the themes for me of the IATEFL conference was staff (managers, teachers, admin) wellbeing and it was great to be a speaker at the joint PCE between IPSEN and LAM SIG on this topic. Remember, if you replace the I of Illness with the letters WE, you get Wellness.

Some of the great people who I enjoyed meeting and learning from at the IATEFL conference, plus the most ethically sourced chocolate bar in the world.

Great time in Thai restaurant in Harrogate at IATEFL conference. If I get to 500 followers by the end of the conference I will pay for one persona’s IATEFL membership for a year. Thanks!
