Sad to see that your days are coming to a close. Where will I get my adventure fix? I am sure your time is limited, but please let us all know how the last few days are going.

From 2005 to 2008, I made 5 trips to Macedonia to help train high school teachers in interactive, student-centered teaching strategies. Each trip lasted about 10 days, and we were not as engaged in the community as you two. However, I relish the taste of some good ajvar and great salads. <br /><br />The high school teachers, about 200, were trained in Struga in a series of four weekend conferences. Most were very involved and were willing to use some of the strategies, such as discussion and debate, or reading to discover what was not known, in their classrooms. In 2008 I had the opportunity to visit five different high schools in the eastern part of the country and was very impressed with the dissemination and sharing of the teaching approaches in each school. The nearest I probably got to you was St Nicholai, which has a very open, energetic agricultural high school. <br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your stay and I will look forward to reading your posts. <br /><br />Jay Howard, HC'68Metacognitive in Dev Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812466871449216737noreply@blogger.com
