Teachers Professional Development Seminar
Teachers will try, for themselves, activities from the "Writing About.." workshops and explore the concepts behind them. One of the most inspiring things you can offer students is an embodied experience of what you are teaching. It’s empowering for them to hear what it was like for you to give it a go.
Session Structure
In each session, material from the 4 different workshops is used. The ideas and activities are transferable for any theme. There is also time for group discussion of the pedagogic intentions behind activities.
We want teachers to be able to implement what they learn in a variety of different school environments. The discussions may be particularly helpful as our approach may differ from how you are teaching this syllabus thus far.
The other highlight of this seminar is that you will have access to all 5 facilitators of the student workshops. Each of them has different skills and approaches to teaching and writing and this seminar is the only way you can access them all in one day.
