      What teachers tell us they do at this stage
      • 'I’ve found Jenny Johnson’s article on continuing professional development really helped me think about ways to develop: http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articles/ways-continuing-professional-development'
      • 'I found this great online newsletter, Humanising Language Teaching,  http://www.hltmag.co.uk/ I’ve really learned a lot from it.'
      • 'I started mentoring trainee teachers. It’s been a great experience. I’ve got confidence from them, because they appreciate my help. But I’ve also learned a lot from their fresh approach.'
