The beginning of the year is a busy time for teachers. Unfortunately things like hanging up posters and making name tags get in the way from what is really important: learning about students and planning for instruction. Liz Haske, Instructional Coach at the Ango-American School of Sofia invites you to rethink the way you launch the school year by letting students lead the way.

During this workshop, she will share how she has empowered students to get to know one another, to build a community where everyone is valued and respected and to create a learning space where everyone can grow. Participants will find that by shifting their practice from “ice breakers” to “inquiry” that they will have more time and space to focus on what matters.
