Interesting post from Kath Murdoch: Today, as I listened to and watched the medical staff at work, I was reminded of the importance of stopping to closely examine ourselves professionally.   Taking time to reflect on our work is vital - but we need to be mindful of what it is we are looking for.    A planning/teaching team in healthy condition is a joy to be part of.  Conversely, unhealthy teams who have not taken time to be mindful and caring of what they do and how they work together can miss golden opportunities for both student learning AND professional growth.

I've compiled several "The Best…" lists that share sites where you can learn about the geography, data, languages, and holidays of different countries around the world. Those resources are important, but I think it's like learning the words, but not the music, of a song. So I thought I'd develop a separate list just focused on helping students learn about the cultures of different countries, and would love to hear additional suggestions.
