 Kindness calendar November celebrates World Kindness Day. In this lesson, primary learners are introduced to the idea of a kindness calendar, and they brainstorm ideas of acts of kindness that they could do at home, at school and in the community. Learners create their own kindness calendars, writing a kind act in each day's box and decorating the calendar with illustrations. They then take these home, and at the end of the month teachers help them to reflect on how focusing on daily acts of kindness made the learners feel. |

|  Anti-bullying Anti-Bullying Week takes place 15 to 19 November. In this lesson for teenagers, students will learn about the problem of bullies and how to behave if they are bystanders. Students discuss their own attitudes towards bullies, bullying and the role of bystanders, and read two texts. They discuss to what extent our attitudes promote or prevent bullying and, finally, prepare a poster for an anti-bullying campaign. |

|  Champion Teachers Mexico: Stories of Exploratory Action Research in Escuelas Normales This book is the result of twelve months of hard work by a group of teacher educators (Formadores de Inglés) from Mexico. For the first time in Mexico, teacher trainers from 'escuelas normales' of the Ministry of Public Education have undergone exploratory action research (EAR) under the guidance of experts in the field and have systematically reported their findings for this publication. Undoubtedly, their experiences will be of great interest to anyone related to the profession. |
