Sponsorship -- Fully registered participants will get free attendance and free accomodation

For readers of this blog, I wish to share an announcement of an excellent conference.

If you want to promote the Postman Questions, this might be an interesting place to start.   What questions are appropriate for younger learners?   That is the key question that I plan to focus on in my presentation.  How can we combine the experience of Montessori and Sudbury with Neil Postman's subversive questions?

Teaching languages to younger learners... hmmmm

Here is the conference info
