“Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.” Bill Bradley

“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can CHANGE THE WORLD, indeed it's the only thing that ever has” –Margaret Mead

Things are changing at a very high speed. Technology such as the internet, the computer, data show, language labs.... are largely used in schools these days. It a strong need to follow the change otherwise we'll be out of date and incompetent to do our jobs perfectly.

I believe that it is high time to organize ourselves in a way that we may be together in one click. We can share experiences, ideas, opinions, joys and sorrow. We may create a club to gather and boost our self professional development. We are able to cope with any situation.

I personally tried to convince many colleagues of mine to join and create a Club ( English Club) at the level of the Cultural Center. We had the agreement of the manager, we sent notifications to some colleagues for a first meeting but just one teacher came, and the idea was unfortunately aborted.

As a matter of act, the creation of a "Group" is imposing itself. that's why I took the risk and decided to launch this blog and create the group. The major objective is to meet then decide. Our blog is just one of the spacious fields that you can join and bring your participation.

Do it for your nation, your pupils, for yourself and for the future generation.

I can understand why we, as teacher advise the learners to work in groups, meanwhile we don't adhere the idea.

Let's do it together.

For teachers of our town ,if you need to ask about a point or discuss a subject. they can join the group and say something at:

Watch this video which is Fantastic, humbling and inspiring scenes. It’s about a child aged 14 from Africa . Struck by poverty and famine, a Malawian boy built a windmill to supply his family's home. Now at 22, William Kamkwamba, who speaks here, shares in his own words the moving tale of invention that changed his life.

“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that they are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.”
John Steinbeck

So glad to meet you ,so happy to start blogging .This is Sheikh Naimi Middle School area, a space for everybody , our tiny corner on the web.
It is for the visitors who can keep in touch and get acquainted with our school and what is being done in it, especially in English.
It is for the teachers to use as a bridge to communicate with colleagues and get profit in any field.
It is for the the pupils as a resource spot and free expression space where they can find some information about what they are looking for or publish some of their works such as writings in forms of projects, texts, poems, magazines and so on...
We would be happy to receive any comments and any suggestions for the good of the blog and the improvement of our work.
Thanks.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

One the most efficient issue to success is working together. People who share the work, collaborate, participate, make efforts in the frame of a group get better outcomes than those who work individually.

Teachers can be involved in projects, workshops or research work to achieve a topic "ensemble" and feel the joy and pain together. I believe that if some teachers get involved in a project seriously and follow the criteria of achievement, they'll understand their pupils responses. Thus, they'll be abler to guide, orient, help and assess the pupils assignments earnestly.

There are many ways in which teachers can activate but the most striking is :
International Education and Resource Network

IEARN is the world's largest non-profit global network that enables teachers and youth to use the internet and other
technologies to collaborate on projects that enhance learning and make a difference in the world.

Be positive and join us link to participate in a project. Our group is link and our ambitions are to organise, be positive and active to motivate the pupils to participate effectively. They can. You're sure. Opportunity knocks, so take it.
