CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
From Sandra Ham:
Here are some pictures from the Health Unit. The students made posters and then gave mini-presentations about how to reduce stress. The first two pictures are from the Hudson Park 5/6 class. The last two are from Tompkins Square 5/6.
In the third picture Yigit explains to the class that “chilling with your homies” means spending time with friends!

Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.
Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The American Language Program (ALP) Winter Conference is a professional development event for practicing language educators, researchers, and graduate and doctoral students aimed at enriching their pedagogical practice in teaching. Although primarily focused on English as a Second Language (ESL/TESOL/ELT) education in academic settings, educators teaching other languages or in other educational contexts may find the presentations relevant and applicable to their teaching. The title for the 2020 conference is Curricula & Materials: Lessons, Units, Courses; previous years’ conferences have focused on learning (2019), vocabulary (2018), pronunciation (2017), critical thinking in language teaching and learning (2016), and writing (2015).
