Here we collect SL skills we think we as teachers and our students need to have or learn. We can always choose from these to teach each other in our weekly meetings. So, either ask to be shown one of these skills during the meeting or put it in the agenda on the weekly meetings page.

 

Here is a direct link to an orientation tour where you can learn about all SL skills (the link is also in the "Other Resources" page.
