AISA Kenya

The AISA Conference in October was the venue for a return to Africa, this time a 1st visit to Kenya.
ASIA, specifically Peter Bateman and his staff did an awesome job of organizing and making this conference a great success.

I had the opportunity of working for 3 days with 3 different groups of teachers and school leaders. Each group was different but in each we were able to glimpse some of the promise and potential for Professional learning Communities in their schools. At the end of each day I felt really connected with many of these participants and it is my hope to work with some of them in the future.

Besides work I had the opportunity to visit in person the orphan elephant I have fostered Sities at the Sheldrick wildlife trust, this was such a pleasure, go on an amazing safari to Tichwa Tembo in the Masai Mara and finally relax at the beautiful Dani beach on the Indian Ocean
