Our Workshops:
Core Principles
What are the Core Principles of the Internationals Approach and how do they appear in our school communities? Participants will rotate through interactive stations exploring each principle through videos, resources, and curriculum to learn how each core principle is embodied in practice. Great for both new and returning Internationals educators.
Language and Content Integration
How can we strengthen our capacity as language teachers in our content classes? Through stations, hands-on activities, and collaborative discussion, participants will engage with language functions, reflect on their own classroom experiences, and examine how to embed language supports into project-based units.
Experiencing Conversation and Discussion Strategies
How can we help all students engage in meaningful academic conversations in English? Try out and reflect on proven strategies that build student voice, foster inclusive, purposeful conversations, and reflect on how to implement them in your own classroom.
