Here for another quick post, this time on a conference I was very lucky to attend. This year, I went to the ECIS Conference in Barcelona for both a Responsive Classroom Pre-Conference, and the conference itself (jeez, how many times can I use the word conference, amiright?). SaveSave
A Series of Firsts in Cervinia
When I ask my Italian students their weekend plans during the winter, their enthusiastic answers are often, “Going to the mountains!” The mountains in northern Italy and Switzerland are stunning, and close enough that many have weekend chalets or are part of racing teams.
