A Matter of Translation allows teachers to share their practice with their colleagues. The goal is to assist teachers in connecting key advancements in current learning and behaviour research with their daily classroom practices. As a result, we invite teachers to express their interest in presenting a session on either conference theme. The sessions can be from primary or secondary school and cover any subject. The Churchie Research Centre will cover the registration price for the presenter/s as a token of gratitude for sharing their practice.
