Default How to Better yourself as a teacher?

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask how everyone else is improving themselves and their teaching skills.

I have heard of taking courses like Celta to improve your teaching and classroom presence but I have heard mixed responses about the effectiveness of such programs.

My friend has been an English teacher for 5 years and last year she took the Celta course. She didn't believe that she learnt much after being a teacher for many years.

Do you agree? Is it helpful to take courses after a couple years of experience or does experience teach you more than a course?

I'm just curious to know what others think.

Thanks
Diana
