ACTR Holds 2009 Professional Development Seminar for Teachers of Russian
10/29/09
During Columbus Day weekend in October, ACTR conducted a Professional Development Seminar for teachers of Russian. Nineteen teachers, representing different regions of the country and a variety of educational settings, joined facilitators Betsy Sandstrom and Natasha Ushakova, and American Councils staff, for the four-day event.
The attending teachers were given a first look at exciting new resource-sharing tools that will soon become widely available on Russnet . Over the past several months, the multimedia team has been developing a comprehensive media management system that will be used extensively in Russnet, and made available to American Councils’ programs and other websites. The new system will serve as part of a broader resource-sharing model on Russnet that will allow teachers to share media, lessons, and activities with one another.
