As Japanese teachers, we all know how important it is to advocate for our programs. In this webinar, the presenter will share ideas for how to maximize your time spent on advocacy to produce powerful results. We will discuss four key areas of powerful advocacy: special events, classroom instruction, informational documents, and daily teacher practices. You will be able to submit your questions either during or after the webinar.
