About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Held annually on 3rd December since 1992, International Day of Persons with Disabilities "aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and moblize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities." According to the United Nations, over one billion people - "the world's largest minority" -  live with some form of disability!
As a teacher / an educator, how do you deal with Special Needs Students? How do you overcome any possible obstacles so that teaching / learning can take place?
I found the video below quite appropriate and moving to mark this 20th anniversary ... Hope you also feel John Lennon's wish behind this musical performance with Special Education Students... imagine!
