My passion on a virtual level...

This website is probably the most influent and the most important website for teachers in Quebec. Whether you seek information about the educational programs given in the Quebec's school system, or possibilities proposed to parents who seek to play a bigger role in the education of their children; the M.E.L.S' website is the place to go. As a future teacher, I use this website in order to get the information needed for my lesson plans, for my TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) courses and for the authorized materials available in the MELS's programs. This website happens to be the teachers' bible. You are also welcomed to take a look at the various events organized by the MELS such as the movement against violence in schools, and the one for the health at school. I could go on describing everything available on this precious website but my best advice for you is to visit it yourself by clicking on the link on the top of the MELS logo.

This website is very useful for ESL (English as a second language) teachers of all around the world. In this site you can apply for ESL teaching jobs offered in many countries. You can also propose your services as a tutor by simply posting your resume. This is a very active website and it is worth the look. You can learn about all the teaching technologies available in the Worldwide school's system, or learn tip on teaching methods and even find activities to be done in class. If you are looking to teach abroad, you might love the school reviews section in which you can get a general idea of the teaching conditions in various foreign countries. When you feel curious, there is plenty of interesting information you can get from this website, and I strongly recommend you to take a look.

The reason why I wish to include this website into my teaching e portfolio is simply due to the fact that, as a mother and as a future teacher, I believe in the importance of sport in people’s life; especially children. There are many interesting sports out there however; when it comes to my daughter’s physical activity, my choice went toward martial arts. In Drummondville, my hometown, there is a martial arts’ Institute called “Institut Quebec Wushu” and I was very pleased by the price, the quality of the courses, and the flexibility of the schedule.
There are various programs offer for children, teenagers and adults. There is
one program in particular that I find very engaging; the program of
sports combined with study that helps develop our next generation of athletes.
On this website you will find information in relation to the discipline itself, to the programs offered, you will be virtually introduced to the team, and finally you will also be able to watch videos of Wushu’s displays.
Martial arts is said to have a positive influence on the body’s natural healing system which translate into better functioning of the body and brain. Studies also demonstrate that children practicing martial arts have a better behavior in class than the average of children who do not practice martial arts. As a future teacher; this information is not to be neglected.

My daughter is very pleased by her Wushu’s course and she really likes her coaches. I like to think that it will be benefic for her overall physical health, and that it will also have a positive influence on her sense of obeisance. Most importantly, I hope for her to develop a passion toward this discipline given the positive influences that have martial arts on one’s life. Everybody needs a passion in life to drive them, and I am glad to see her evolving in a respectable discipline such as Wushu.
