Pre-Conference Workshop: Preparing and Working with Assistant Language Teachers from Abroad
Thursday, October 20, 2016 at 9:00 AM–11:30 AM CDT
Greenway Ballroom C
Session Type
Paper/Best Practice Session (1 hour)
Program Summary
This workshop will prepare your program to work with assistant teachers from other countries, like those from Amity.org. Through interactive activities, educators will develop their own "tool-kit" for: (1) supporting/training host families; (2) orienting assistants to the U.S. education system; and (3) providing mentorship plans for full-time teachers and their assistants.
Workshop attendees should bring their own computer/tablet to develop their tool-kit.
