All the English teachers from Colegio Motolinia take part in a week of fun tasks and learning at Instituto Angloamericano before the start of the school year.

Last week was so rewarding. Working with teachers is a delight. The agenda covered the usual bits and pieces from task-based learning to assessment of the 4 skills, etc. But, the commitment shown by many of the teachers to advance in their chosen careers exhibits the shifting educational quality seen in pockets throughout Mexico these days. There is a quest underway.

Teachers from Instituto Latino de Morelia order and organize, name and classify, sequence, and reflect on teaching using a “sticky wall” and floor map, prepare their annual plans, and reflect on the art and mastery of teaching in online forums at Instituto Angloamericano in Morelia.
