GERMAN Immersion Weekend call for Presenters:
Deutsch macht Spass! The 2025 German Immersion weekend will take place February 14 - 16, and we cannot make it happen without you!
What does that theme mean to you? Low tech instruction, gamification, reenergizing the daily grind, maker space, movement, mindfulness, etc.?
We are looking for a presenter or presenter team from WI AATG and one from NOIL AATG to present a one-hour workshop session three times throughout the weekend. We are excited to learn from each other, specifically you!
Please consider sharing your ideas with us. Please reach out to Jolene Wochenske (jrwochenske@oregonsd.net) as soon as possible so that we can start to plan the final details of our immersion weekend!
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PRESENTING!
