Episode 139: My Lesson Fell Off a Cliff (But That's Okay!)

Has ANY lesson EVER gone to plan? I bet the answer is squarely more on the 'no' side of things than yes. What does that tell us? - embrace it - take advantage of learner questions and turn them into teachable moments - don't stress about not covering the syllabus all the time Join me as I tell you about my lesson, where I did practically NOTHING that was in my lesson plan. Was it my best lesson? No. Do I care? Also no. Why should I? My students still learnt a ton of valuable stuff: it just wasn't the stuff on my lesson plan.
