The below is a call for proofreaders from ALT Training Online.
Proofreaders needed for the upcoming free ALT training course
A couple of months ago I sent the call out for ALTs to co-author a module for an upcoming free ALT training course. Since then the ALT training website has gone from getting a few hundred hits a week to a few thousand – before the course even exists! Gratitude can’t be expressed enough, thank you for your commitment and spreading the word on this innovative teacher training initiative.
Please continue to keep visiting the site www.alttrainingonline.com; read the author bios, share your comments in the community tabs, look at recommended reading on module pages and in the resources tab, and (for ALTs-to-be especially) ask questions about the job in the forum (we’re here to help ☺)-(ALTs that are in Japan, please keep checking the forum and answer questions, many minds are better than one) also - please start liking the Facebook page.
Call for Proofreaders

Your responses to reflection question will go onto the website after the module has been thoroughly proofread and any final editing finalized. You will be notified when to do write your comments on the website.
Note: the deadline for modules is by the end of 2017, so you may be put on a waiting list to proofread a module later in the year.
