Matthew Noble, USA, Adult, Training, TEFL

Matt found his calling in English language teaching as a volunteer instructor at an ancient Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka in 2004. He completed his CELTA in Bangkok, Thailand the following year and went on to teach at language centers, corporate headquarters, elementary and high schools, test prep programs, and as a private tutor for the next 6 years abroad.

In his free time Matt enjoys listening to world music, reading mystery novels, and engaging social media.

This blog is hosted by Education Week, the worlds largest K-12 education-focused newspaper. This blog is very different in the education space. As more districts and state agencies in the United States shift their focus to leadership and management of people, as we are seeing other successful ed-focused countries doing, more and more people will have questions about how to recruit, select, place, grown, reward, evaluate, and remove or retain, the right people!
