Effective use of textbook (Obentou, Iitomo) – CANCELLED

This face-to-face workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to share resources and activities based on the Iitomo series and the Obentou series. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from authors of the textbooks and learn how to effectively teach using the textbook. There will be opportunity for teachers to share one resource within their groups as well as have time to develop resources based on the learnings from the day.  Participants will be expected to bring a textbook-based resource on the day for sharing.
