Below is the flyer information from Skip providing the information about my upcoming visit to Maine:
The World Language Department at Poland Regional High School
will host Ben Slavic, author of TPRS in a Year! and PQA in a Wink! on October 7 & 8, 2010 in Lewiston.
This second workship will address ways to reach kids in the target language, with particular close attention to personalization and classroom discipline techniques. The principle focus of the workshop is on coaching teachers to develop these skills, to make those skills come alive for real in teachers’ classrooms the week after the workshop.
