Looks like a good self study site for ESL students. A little on the advanced side; probably wouldn't work for levels lower than 4.

good at home study site, especially for lower levels (even pre-1!). Has vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc. with a strong focus on beginning survival vocabulary.

Not much revolutionary here, but points 3 & 4 are good reminders of the importance of connecting English to real world uses and of the value of fomulative assessments like exit slips, etc.

Online reading site for very beginning readers. Definitely geared toward kids, but students can read/listen at the same time -- a big plus in my book. Free, no registration required. A lot of non-fiction, which helps "up" the level a little bit.

  This part of the article was so disheartening... "Evaluations are to make us look good-they affect or rating and certification. Coaching and development-should be done among friends." PD is about learning, and the goal of any assessment should be recognition of what's already done well and identification of areas that can be strengthened. That's what we expect from students...why should it be any different for us as professionals? PD should be a chance to learn, grow, and share as professionals, not a punitive process or a dog-and-pony show. It's so disheartening that bad PD practices continue to reinforce these concepts.

A well considered piece on the value of "not knowing" and how teachers can leverage this into a positive, rather than a negative. Looks at the need for students to understand the value of connecting to the information, rather than learning simple because it's expected.

Excellent TED talk about the power of relationships in teaching. Talks about public schools, but relevant for all teachers at all levels of education. My favorite part? "While you won't like all of them (your students), the key is, they can never, ever know it." How powerful is that in forging relationship?
