Workshop #2: Math is Fun
In the Math is Fun session, the presenter wishes to share
different ways to teach math so that it is fun and engaging for
all students in the classroom.
Workshop #3: Active Learning: Engaging Students
As teachers, we know that student success increases when
lessons are inviting, stimulating, relevant and engaging.
Students need opportunities to activate their curiosity, to
collaborate and interact productively, to approach learning at
their level and to find meaning in lessons. This workshop will
show a variety of strategies to grab students’ interest and get
them involved in a lesson. As well, we will discuss how to offer
differentiated challenges with limited resources.
Workshop #4: Making Games
It is important for me to have elements of fun in my classroom
and making board games offers just that. I try to plan a project
around making a board game once a year. I like to make it later
in the year because I can incorporate as many skills as I want to
be part of the evaluation. Board games are inclusive projects,
allowing differentiation and are cross curricular.
Workshop #5: Engaging with the text: reading and writing
activities drawn from the study of literature
This workshop will present some creative activities that enable
students to engage with both the ideas and the style of a literary
text. The workshop will give the participants the chance to try
the activities in order to see how they work. The activities will
include group activities, solo activities and assessment
strategies for responding to the students’ work.
Atelier #6: Comment inciter les enfants à aimer la lecture
Au Burkina, l’accès à la littérature dès un très jeune âge est
limité. Cet atelier donnera aux enseignants des moyens créatifs
pour encourager les enfants à aimer la lecture. Parmi les
objectifs visés, les enseignants apprendront comment faire la
lecture à de grands et de petits groupes d’enfants, et comment
faire preuve de créativité dans les activités de lecture. De plus,
ils apprendront comment utiliser les ressources à leur portée
pour créer des livres que les enfants pourront lire à l’école et
apporter à la maison.
Workshop #7: Collaboration Strategies for Classrooms and
Committees
Well-defined and agreed-upon strategies and norms of
collaboration improve the productivity and atmosphere of every
workplace and classroom. In this workshop we will rehearse
effective collaborative practices from the world’s “greatest
companies to work for” and progressive international schools.
We will experience and discuss methods ready for use in your
classroom, committees, professional learning communities, and
