Once the dust settles from this year, let’s be sure connect on the learnings and how we can inform Season 10!

While this experience has always been about PD and up-skilling; this year more than addressed a shared need for community, connection and validation around a shared experience we were going through…teaching during a pandemic. Thanks for learning…Read more

Of course you fixed a desk! It’s easy for us to think that that must be someone else’s problem and when I was in boarding, we fixed things all the time. Remind me to tell the time when I had 4 Gr. 11s install a flatscreen mount… oh là là… interesting indeed, but they learned.

Keep doing what you do @mkur…Read more

It’s always incredible to connect and see tangible practices in action. I wonder about how your advisee is finding ways to support these emotions and their temper.

What a great learning experience and I love when they are asking you for grammar structures.

I really love the personalized approach to vocabulary and the authenticity of the conversations. It’s such a great motivator and something that all French teachers can learn from in terms of leveraging…Read more

I like the metacognitive trade-off of having them co-create the expectations for playing, so that it didn’t become a surface-level smattering of French vocabulary in an otherwise English game. Creating a translation takes this even further. But I think my favourite part is the targeted grammar outcomes that arose…Read more
