posted 11-25-20 I am helping this Transatlantic Educators' Dialogue program that has been around for a few years get some wider promotion. I participated in it two years and really enjoyed getting to meet educators from all over the world, sharing and learning from one another. The format is manageable, the access is simple enough, in particular nowadays, and you earn PD hours! J win-win….
I am considering applying again, for this year. The topics you will see in the flyer are appealing, current, thought-provoking and needed.
