Jamaica teachers join us at NCCAT

We are happy to have teachers from Jamaica join us at NCCAT!

These are photos from Heidi Turlington’s session "The Active Classroom: Using Movement To Enhance Literacy and Learning" Wednesday. Heidi teaches at Western Carolina University in the School of Teaching and Learning. She was demonstrating how to actively teach geometric shapes and geometry concepts with the use of Shape Shifters. They were joined by a group of teachers from Jamaica who are attending WCU for their B.S.E.D. degree. The Jamaican teachers are coming back tonight to have a roundtable discussion on what it’s like to teach in Jamaica. Sarah Lowell is the main presenter for this program.

Thanks to everyone involved with this unique professional development opportunity of sharing!
