Each year our school organizes a conference dedicated to language teaching. Here you can listen to "Developing teacher leaders" the speech that Matt Ellman, sponsored by Cambridge University Press, made at the Secondary Strand on October 23, 2020.

Abstract:
As a teacher, how can you take the lead in developing your expertise, both in and out of the classroom, on- and offline?  What role can you play in influencing your colleagues to improve teaching and learning practices, in your own institution and further afield? In this session we’ll consider the role of a teacher leader, and look at practical ways for developing teacher leadership and having an impact on your students and on your organisation.
