Active Latin with Justin Slocum Bailey
Washington Latin Public Charter School
Tuesday, September 27, 4:00-7:00 pm
Description
Latin high school teachers from around the Washington, D.C. area are invited to attend an open Teacher Training session with Justin Slocum Bailey at the Washington Latin Public Charter School. The session will provide teachers with practical, brain-friendly techniques for helping students process Latin in real time, a refined understanding of the relationship between grammar knowledge and reading proficiency, and the opportunity to hear classical Latin spoken--useful both for "activating" teachers' own Latin and as a model for speaking Latin with students.
Justin Slocum Bailey is a second language acquisition expert, an innovative Latin teacher, and an experienced teacher-trainer, who specializes in boosting joy and success in language learning. Justin has mentored and advised hundreds of teachers and learners while consulting for schools, districts, publishers, software developers, and non-profits. His presentations and classes are characterized by glee, discovery, camaraderie, and adaptability to the interests, needs, and gifts of those present.
You can find testimonials from past workshops on his website.
