Have you ever had to teach a class last minute? What about with no materials? As teachers, we are taught that thorough preparation is the foundation of a successful class. However, sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we simply do not have the time to lesson plan. In this episode of Talking TESL, our Mentorship Coordinator Lisa shares a clever teaching story about the time she had to teach a full class last minute, with no materials except two paper plates.

Are you a Concordia student or grad looking for a supportive community of teachers? You can hear more interesting stories like Lisa's firsthand by joining the TESL RC Staffroom, run by Lisa herself! This shared space was created within the mentorship program to enhance the type of resources that can support our TESL RC community of teachers. Become a member of The Staffroom and you’ll get to collaborate with fellow ESL teachers of all experiences, and perhaps earn the opportunity to receive project funding!
