“Reacting to the Past” (RTTP) is an exciting educational approach that gets students engaged in learning in a way that allows them to develop invaluable critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork skills. The pedagogy has been in action for more than a decade now across the United States, but for the first time it is coming to Japan.
On May 11–12, there will be a two-day workshop for teachers of all subjects with students ages 12 and up. Three RTTP experts will come from the United States to lead participants through one of four RTTP “games.”
The workshop will be held at Sophia University in Tokyo where some classes are already using the approach. JALT members pay ¥2,800, non-members pay ¥4500. Registration closes April 27. Registration URL: http://peatix.com/event/10350. — JIM MCKINLEY
