2019 ETAS Professional Development Day, Bern
The ETAS 2019 Professional Development Day took place on Saturday, 7th September at the International School of Berne in Gümligen. This year's plenary speakers Dr. Briony Beaven and Lindsay Clandfield shared their expertise and insights in their respective specialist areas with us.
Here's what attendees said about the event:
"An injection of ideas and inspiration. A must-attend event for the engaged teacher."
"ETAS PD DAY in Bern confirmed for me again the value of networking. It was a great day and provoked much thought."
"Life-long learning is now a must, come to ETAS, don't bite the dust!"
"The people who organize the event and the attendees I meet give me a huge boost that I wish I could have more often."
"I took something away from every one of the workshops I attended and I also had plenty of time to chat with colleagues."
"I come away energised having met so many great professionals. Full of ideas for my classroom teaching."
"Superbly organized PD ETAS. Great workshops, lovely venue, friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff. And freebies!!! ;)"
