How is the day structured?

This is an engaging, interactive experience. Model teaching demonstrations in Swedish lead teachers through a first-hand experience in the Input to Output Process from the learner's perspective. The emphasis is on multiple strategies for increasing the level of Comprehensible Input while meeting the expectation of staying 90% in the target language. Participants leave with new perspectives and dozens of ideas for using stories and global studies content as the base for creating lessons.

Logistics

There will be a one-hour lunch break. It is highly recommended that you bring your lunch, which is much easier than arranging for delivery or running out to get fast food.

Street parking is available. Check-in at the office when you enter the building.
