Thanks be to God for providing CBC with the most perfect stage upon which to present CBC CODEBREAKER to the world!
At the most wonderful experience sharing professional expertise with like-minded teachers. HELTA- The Honduran English Language Teacher’s Association celebrated it’s first annual Professional Development Workshops Conference from November 19 to the 21st 2015.
There were 14 international presenters from China, Greece, Trinidad & Tobago, Mexico, Portugal, Mauritius, the USA, Panama, Brazil and Moldova, including some 22 national presenters from different provinces throughout around Honduras.
The event would not have been possible if it were not for the sponsorship and collaboration of the following entities: the embassy of the United States of America, the Alumni Engagement & Innovation Fund, Centro Cultural Sampedrano, Clarion Suites Mediterraneo, Gran Hotel Sula, Pearson Education, Oxford University Press, Britannica Digital Learning, Macmillan Education, Santiallana.com, Education USA, Secomar- International Representatives for DeFreitas & Associates and Pro Mas+.
Participants were eager to learn and participate in all of the professional development workshops which ranged in diversity from : Peer Instruction for Peer Learning to Students as a Resources, Biliteracy for ALL Citizens, Innovation in Education in the Americas, Mindfulness in Education, Dual Immersion Models, Cooperative learning vs Group Learning, Listening Empowerment through Musical Tasks, Practical Strategies for Marterial Design as well as Bilingual Education Integration in the Honduran Education System.
This was the perfect stage to present our beloved CBC CODEBREAKER.
Another wonderful aspect of the HELTA Conference was the Cultual Presence, attendees were entertained by the students of Centro Cultural Sampedrano, who infected everyone with their enthusiastic and joyful performances celebrating the folk heritage of the Honduran people.
The theme for this year’s HELTA Conference was “Reinventing TESOL: New Methods for New Generations”, now we are getting ready for HELTA 2016 and invite you to put us in your plans for you and your staff’s professional development.
Hoping to see you all at HELTA 2016!
Building Better Biliterates with CBC CODEBREAKER!
