At 8am on Friday, April 19^th, SHSID’s high school English department gathered in the Xianmian building to attend a lively Professional Development seminar. Led by Ms. Jordan Willis, this active workshop not only provided teachers with a wealth of professional resources but guided them towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their teaching practices. In a series of engaging activities, the English teachers participated in a range of collaborative discussions and introspective reasoning that asked them to analyze themselves, as both individuals and educators, their students, and their classrooms. The hour passed by quickly and left each teacher feeling both and enlightened and thankful for the refreshing PD experience.
