Brazil! Brazil!

In March I made a return journey to Sao Paulo, Brazil to work with staff at St Nicholas School, a new school for me. At St Nicholas I was fortunate to work with Nick Thody and his staff for 2 busy days. I believe it made a difference to their thinking about collaborative groups at their school and I very much hope to return in the future.

I was also fortunate while in Brazil to work with colleagues  Anne  Taffin d'Heursel Baldisseri and Siobhain Anita Allum. 

We worked for 3 intense days with a fabulous group of teachers from several schools in Sao Paulo and from the BritIsh School of Rio. These pictures will give you a sense of the experience.

Thank you Anne and Siobhain for making this special event possible and for hosting it at St Paul's!

January 2013

Finally caught up to a new year and information about a solo trip to Kuwait in January 2013. I was able to work there with Jeanette Al Sabah and a group of educators on a 40 hour 3 credit course though the University of Buffalo. A big thank you to Lynda Abdulraheem who made this event possible.

All the participants from a variety of International Schools in Kuwait City  brought experience and enthusiasm to the class.  This made it a very special event!

While in Kuwait I had the opportunity to visit schools and meet and work with local teachers.

Europe was my next adventure and a return trip to the American School of Warsaw.

 It was pretty amazing to return to a school I had left in June 1982, as a young teacher, this time as a consultant. Leaving Poland I flew over the Alps to Nice in the south of France.

 

In Nice I was able to meet up with my colleagues Annie Leonard, Keelin Swalve and Lola Lauscher, we had a beautiful meeting room with big windows looking out on a typical French street scene and eager participants.  This all  helped make the 2 day pre conference at ECIS a great success.

Playing Catch up continued!

In the fall a return trip to the wonderful IST  in Dar es Salaam was followed by a very good 2 days at the AISA  conference in Johannesburg. It is always a pleasure to return to Africa and this trip was no exception.

Hi All, I have been very remiss in keeping the blog current this past year. So I am playing catch up!  I am posting pictures and short pieces about my events since the last blog post in 2012.

2012 / 2013 school year was a fabulous and busy year of travels to many schools and conferences old and new. A journey took me to Peru last spring  to work with Russ Jones and a leadership team at Colegio F. D. Roosevelt. A highlight of this quick visit was volunteer work with the school staff building a home for a Peruvian family. These pictures give a glimpse of the task. It was a pleasure to be involved in a community service activity in addition to working at the school.
